    I don't think I've ever made an argument about the left being obsessed with race. My argument has always been that the left is projecting their own racism onto the right, and that their arguments about police violence against minorities and why it happens is based on lies and not factual. And that they also conveniently use racism to deflect subjects and control the argument.

    That's not to say that others haven't complained about the left being obsessed with race, but I don't recall ever doing that.

      Also, since there have been many instances of creeps impersonating police officers and putting flashers on their cars, many police departments have encouraged drivers to call the non emergency line if they have doubt about who is pulling them over. This seems like a more than reasonable practice for ordinary traffic stops, and I would like to think that most officers would be understanding of a short delay for such reasons. (edit: I see rogue posted about this as I was typing)
      The State Police are gonna lose HARD on this one.

      Turns out it's not just the drivers license manual that says it. In 2017 on Facebook, the very same State Police (who are now trying to cover for this officer) posted this on their facebook:

          Though to be fair they just say you won't be charged with fleeing, they don't specifically say you won't be rammed off the road by a psychopath cop i

            This stupid cop is going to cost his department a lot of money and grief. If I was in charge, he'd be canned immediately.

            There's no way he was taught to do that simply because someone was slightly speeding. They would need to be extremely reckless driving or fleeing some violent altercation somewhere. Doing a pit maneuver on a soccer mom? PuHLeeze!

              Did you see the statement from the State Police Department? The cop was obviously doing what they expected him to do.

                I think they are trained this way. It's the "militarization of police" problem. Maybe not specifically in how he initiated the maneuver, but they're trained to be aggressive and treat citizens like their the enemy. Check out this video...

                (warning there is objectionable language)


                Yeah, he's being uncooperative, but listen how they talk to this guy. Like authoritative robots. "You're fixing to ride the lightening, son"? I mean, what is that? I think the problem is that a lot of these guys are ex-vets and they think they're still in Fallujah dealing with terrorist insurgents.

                  Losing his job is the least that should happen to that fool. He should have all his assets confiscated and given to the victim, then he should be locked in his cruiser and pushed over a hill.

                    It's certainly a textbook case of why we need to end qualified immunity for cops.

                      I can't make a judgment on anything regarding that video. I don't know that these cops weren't chasing someone dressed as a lieutenant who just killed a cop at an earlier traffic stop. Backstory is everything.

                          If the guy was a major threat they never would have approached his window like that (with only a taser and not his gun drawn), and I'm not even experienced in police affairs to know that. Once they approached the window and found out he wasn't a threat, the human thing to do was to deescalate and talk to the guy, but they just kept pushing, I guess because that's their training -- approach with heightened aggression as though they're dealing with a terrorist insurgent.

                            Again, I don't know the backstory. If he was simply speeding, then of course it is outrageous conduct by the cops.

                            Gondwanaland knows my history elsewhere, and can vouch that I have always been highly critical of police in general. But I also want to know all the details before condemning either side of an altercation.

                              I don't support the death penalty for assault.

                                It's not necessarily death. If he survives, hooray for him. The odds of survival would approximate those of his victim. I'm fully in favor of a justice system that incorporates both restitution and tit-for-tat retribution, with those in positions of power being treated more severely, not less so.
