He had a gun.

https://www.fox13memphis.com/top-stories/arkansas-man-details-frightening-encounter-with-police/952670780


It was in the backseat, and he didn't get charged for the gun

I think what you meant to say was, "I was full of shit when I said he didn't have a gun because my gut instinct is to believe every statement that paints police in a bad light".

Nah, of course not. You're going to double down on "not having a gun" is the same things as "literally having a gun within arms reach" because otherwise you'd be wrong, and we can't have that can we? If we start admitting our mistakes, where does it end?! Maybe the driver was refusing commands prior to the video starting and was acting beligerantly, prompting the officer to draw his sidearm when he saw the AR in the backseat? Maybe not all police are blood-thirsty psychos looking to murder people? Maybe taking information in context and waiting for comprehensive knowledge of a situation is important before reaching conclusions such as "Police officer trying to execute black man cuz bad"?


I like the part where you say he's taking things out of context and then proceed to make up your own context.

I'm not making up context, I'm providing examples of things that could very reasonably be true based on the info we have. These examples are no more true or false than anything else people have stated in this topic (Aside from there not being a gun, that's patently false), but I'm not asserting they're true. I'm applying simple skepticism, and applying a broad perspective of possibilities to what has so far in this topic been an extremely confident but narrow-minded parade of assertions.

lmao bro. This cop fucked up. He is in the wrong here 100%. Just admit it. Why are you fighting it so hard?

Dude, if the extent of your argument is "lol you're wrong bro", maybe you... Don't have a very good argument? I'm not posting to listen to a bunch of self-assured neanderthals tell me how dumb they think I am. I can throw a rock at an empty meadow and still hit a dozen high school drop outs who can provide that exceptionally valuable service to me. If you think you're so intelligent and so correct, then prove it to me with a decent argument or shut the fuck up.

It's pretty clear the cop wanted a chance to shoot this dude. Luckily dude was smart enough to not offer up the opportunity for some bs excuse that he was reaching for his AR-15 while turning off the engine. Pogo is making lame excuses to pardon a shitty cop looking to kill someone.

This demonstrates the bad apple analogy perfectly. Sure there's only 1 cop here being a trigger happy shithead, but look at what the other cops around him are doing... nothing.

No. Youre wrong. This cops behavior was terrible and its not something that should be defended. Weve seen unarmed people get shot for making a sudden movement countless times before. If he had moved to shut the car off and the cop got scared and shot one off youd probably defend that too. shut the fuck up and stop being ok with shitty behavior like this. Demand better.

lmao.

He was telling the guy to shut off the car with his hand on his gun the entire time. The cop is being aggressive and wanted a chance to shoot because, Sudden movements. Luckily the guy is actually smart. Cop demeanor changes when he realized hes recorded

Yeah, cuz the guy is just going to whip around and try to reach for the gun when the cop already has his drawn on him. Or the guy has Mr. Fantastic powers and can pull a gun out from the backseat without moving.

The cop was so scared that he turned his head away from this dude for nearly four seconds. Yup.

Guns are not illegal. Owning a gun is not illegal. Carrying your gun in your car is not illegal. Cops are not allowed to pull someone over because they own a legal tool. This cop needs to reprimanded, and dude needs to sue the police department for emotional distress or something. Agencies learn correct procedure by losing money.

If it's in the old Confederacy (the red ones), it's probably racist. If it's in one of the old border states (the light blue ones), it might be racist?

shooting an unarmed person should result in the death penalty, that would fix the cops quick.

A cop who shoots a guy is punished less than a priest who molests an alter-boy.
Think about that for a bit.

you're preaching to the converted, if I shot some regular dude who was doing nothing wrong, and didn't have a gun, I would get a murder charge, and rightfully so, but a POLICE officer, in my opinion, should be held to a higher standard, they're charged with the protection of the general public, they should be willing to accept that if they make a fatal mistake, they'll have to pay for it in kind. or else mow lawns, can't shoot anybody mowing a lawn.

He disrespected that cop and the entire US military by not letting himself be killed. These are very scary times for caucasian people being denied their deference.
