I saw this pop up on reddit and someone mentioned another dude who put his arms out of his window when some cop yelled gun, god the look on that cops face scrolling through scenarios where he could justify shooting the dude was crazy. Dude in the car was like fuck that you're looking for a reason to kill me.
Lady really escalated it by 1000000x.
It's kind of amazing to me that they are always "fearing for their safety", when they are armed to the teeth and have bulletproof vests. And partners. And backup. And they know they're just one call away from having an entire team coming at you with guns. But you're always supposed to feel safe, and if you're nervous they get suspicious, and it's somehow against you.
This is bullshit. These cops were 100% looking for a way to search the vehicle no matter what. She asks him if he has a firearm, he says yes. Then she has the nerve to say "Oooooh but I don't know where the fire arm is".
Bruh, I saw another video yesterday where a cop thought she heard a gunshot, and it was like an exhaust sound or something. And then she saw the guy's car and there was smoke coming out of it because he was vaping. There was like a SWAT squad that arrived to arrest him. One false move and he could've been mowed down by an entire shooting squad

Dude literally told them he had a registered firearm. There's no need to pull a fucking gun on him for that.
They will take anything and turn it against you. Because no matter what happens like if they pulled you over, they must have a real reason for it. So if they don't have an actual reason they look silly, so they manufacture one. It starts with questions, and then you answer one in a way that gives them a "reason" to search your car. And then it's over because no matter what they will do what they want to do.
Whether it's because your car somehow smells like weed, you're acting "suspicious" or they have "reasons to believe something is going on".
It's total bullshit.

I know it's good that people are standing up for themselves in the face of police oppression and corruption, but he could be a goner because he didn't just keep his head down and comply.
I know it's a tight rope to walk because by giving in to these micro-aggressions it gives more power to the cops, but man. Why not just be compliant instead of risk your life.
Sorry to sound like a boot licker. I'm just worried for people risking their lives like that because we unfortunately know how American cops can be.
I'm not saying this. I'm just worried about the guy's life. Is it worth winning the battle of assertiveness if you end up dead out of it?
You know they then pull him out of the car and find excuses to beat the shit out of him and charge him anyway right?
it's a lose-lose. If he complies they'll search his car and find something so they can arrest him.
I understand where you're coming from - but, let's be real, the cop that pulled a gun on him for absolutely no justifiable reazon would have found another reason to pull a gun on him no matter how compliant he was.
He left an update on this about a year ago - he thankfully took this to court and won his case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=VfJ1yIQsoVw&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=Flexxinruee
Problem is
1)People lose their lives anyway when trying to comply. Look at Castile. Or that crazy case in Arizona a few years back where they simon says a guy to death.

2)Without people asserting their rights, they will continue to steamroll people. Ultimately without him taking such an aggressive stance by filming them and calling them out on their shit on camera...hopefully helps push the conversation a bit forward. One can make an argument the Floyd protests were built on hundreds of videos like this
And trust me, as a POC I too have gotten the speech from my parents and would be leery of escalating like homie did. That said, I can't be mad at him doing it, I see it as bravery as opposed to stupidity.
This one haunts me to this day. Is this the one where the guy was forced by the cop to stand in ridiculous ways, then when he couldn't stay still because of the weird balancing act, the cop executed him.Problem is

Fucking harrowing.
What was his case for? To get a ticket dropped or was it a civil case against this cop?
Man. Me too. Like I don't see how anyone can look at that video and not think police need a national overhauling, even if you believe white supremacy is made up (shout out to Candace Owens)
Someone in the Twitter comments said all they had to do was ask to see his gun license, write him a ticket for whatever they pulled him over for, and be on their way but no, they gotta escalate shit because he asked a question and didn't comply fast enough. Ridiculous.
I was pulled over on Christmas Eve about 10 years ago. Expired tag. Bored officer ran my license and pulled me over. The issue was the vehicle was gifted to me from my mother, who screwed up and never had the title transferred into my name, so it was registered to a different household in a different state. The officer assumed I had stolen the vehicle, immediately pulled out his gun, and demanded I get out of the vehicle.
Thankfully, I had my very blonde mother explain things to the officer as I was handcuffed at the station, and I'm here to share that story today because I'm not black....

You remember what they did to Philando Castile right? He was shot pulling out his ID that the murderous cop requested he give him. You want to take the chance of going for your sit belt with these trigger happy idiots ready and praying they get to discharge their weapons on you?
