Many of you really don’t get it.
The guy has no idea who you are when he gets pulled over, other than someone who has flashing lights on their car. He has no idea the kind of person is pulling him over, you might be a law abiding cop, or a crazy mo-fo who wants to test his manhood.
Fixed the above.
The moment you get out of the car BEFORE OR WITHOUT the consent of the officer, you are at Level 1 of aggressor.
That makes all cops level 1 aggressors.
Then when the cop tells you to turn around and go back, you refuse, now Level 2. You continue to defy him for minutes as he asks you time and time again, Level 3. So, rather than contest the thing in court, the right way, where you actually have a chance at winning, you sit there and debate with a cop who could care less. Now you have more electricity in your ass than your Mochaccino maker at home, because you decided to pop off verbally.
See in my apparent dream world there is a thing called freedom of speech where popping off verbally doesnâ??t get a person tasered.
The cop views his word as the law, whether you like it or not. If you don’t like it, right then and there is not the time and place to challenge that. You need to challenge these things in court, telling the judge, the cop is just enforcing the law. Believe me guys, trust me when I tell you, this is not the time and place. You need to play the best hand you have, and on the street is not the time.
So you are saying that if heâ??d just down whatever the cop told him, heâ??d have a case? And yes I know cops view their word as the law, thatâ??s the problem.
Was excessive force used? Nope, not at all. He was told a million times, and still refused. The cop will get off, because the actions on the video speak enough. That the driver resisted instructions, thus can be viewed as resistive/combative.
Before any of you numb nuts say…“what if the cop tells you to finger your asshole while you sing Yankee Doodle?”, go STFU. That is not the case in this video, and if or when that situation happens, then you deal with that accordingly. Honestly the sound of some of you makes me think you live under a rock.
So exactly how far would you go for a cop? Cause you are kidding yourself if you donâ??t think shit like that actually happens. And what would be an â??appropriate actionâ?? then?

Clearly many of you don’t know how cops work.
Remember something, YOU allegedly broke the law, not the cop. He is just enforcing it. And the reason he is taking his time before he approaches you, is because he is running the license plate to see if the car is stolen or not. He has no idea who you are, so if you get out and approach him, what kind of impression are you making on him? That you are overly aggressive? And before someone goes bitching about cops approaching them, that is their job.
Double, you can pop off all you want, just make sure to follow the cop’s orders. That’s why the guy got tazed. Sure, you can say “fuck you” all you want when you are getting cuffed, just do as he says and sing to your heart’s content. Just remember all that noise you are making is being recorded, and if you pursue challenging it in court, the officer will have proof of your behavior, and the judge will note that as the video is shown in court.
Go ahead guy, say whatever you want, it’s all on tape. I don’t know how convincing you will be in court when you claim to be a law abiding citizen while running your mouth off to the cop.
Yes, I am saying that if he had an issue with the nature of the arrest, the time and place to question it is not in the street. Do you really think you are going to win the argument right then and there? Really? You think that after you have been pulled over, recorded being stupid, the cop will say “oh well ok, since you put it that way, you are free to go?” Yea sure.
How far would I go? Would I just do whatever a cop told me to do, even if it meant sticking a finger in my ass and singing? Sure, I would make sure to ask for his commanding officer to come out and see the whole thing, and also make sure that dash-cam caught the whole thing. Then, if he denied to call his CO, that too is another violation of my civil rights.
Many of you guys clearly have never been in trouble with the law from much of what I am reading in this thread. This is how it would go down in court…
Me: Yes your honor, he made me stick my finger in my ass and sing, by threat of violence, and I have no reason why. As you can see in the video, I am scared and nervous, as I don’t know what else he will ask me to do. Ever since then I get teased and made fun of, and my quality of life has gone down the toilet. I have been humiliated by this officer and my life will never again be the same. I am seeking damages in the amount of (fill in the blank) dollars.
Again, until this happens, which I don’t believe would happen, I would not worry about it. You have to learn to use the law to your advantage too, you need to educate yourself rather than by going on what TV and movies show you. The eye in the sky don’t lie, and if some cop is willing to order me to do something stupid like that, smile for the camera!
