    Is this better or worse than somebody rolling their eyes at Andrew Sullivan on a zoom when he starts talking eugenics?

    We've all delt with 'that cop' at some point in our lives -- there are so many absolute nutcases working for law enforcement.

    Is there any information on that officer? I would love to doxx him and make his life miserable. I'm serious to. I'm tired of this **** happening with impunity.

    I just watched the whole video and I agree that LEO could've handled it better but Derrick wasn't complying. He keeps on looking at the camera and narrating but he doesn't comply with the order to get out of the car or address the LEO. That is a lawful order that requires compliance. Obviously Derrick isn't resisting violently and the extent of what the LEO did to him after removing him from the car might be excessive. The problem is we don't see that on video.

    My kids shout "that's what you get!" When they're fighting and sucker punching and generally being jerks to each other, just like this clown.

    It's not appropriate for them - at their age.

    It's not excusable for him either.

    Fire this guy. The old rules don't apply anymore. We're done tolerating this. Fire him now. Since you can't sue cops let's just start firing them the way you'd treat any other public or private servant

    I agree the LEO could've handled it better and clearly lost his cool. We hear them yelling and scuffling but we can't see exactly what happened.

    I fully believe we need more accountability for LE but at the same time we can't just judge every situation the same. I've said this before that one of the biggest problems is the preferential treatment that LE get in the judicial system. That doesn't mean that it should go the other way.

    I'm going to guess you don't send your kids out to enforce laws.

    Huh?

    Might be excessive?

    He immediately went for his neck and we did see that on video?

    Are we sure that was a lawful order?

    why does he have to get out of the car for a traffic stop? Why is that a lawful order? He didn't feel safe to step out, but still has to step out?

    I don't see anything racist, I just see typical a hole cop behavior.

    I wouldn't get out of my car if a cop said "take a look at me I am a f*cking specimen" in my face while making a traffic stop either. That dude must have been juicing all morning.
