I guess I'm a cynic, but I think the cop was silent because he knew he was in some deep shit. LakeArenal Sep 2021 #6
I'm on the same page. I doubt the cop felt one iota of empathy. OneBro Sep 2021 #8

I yell at cops (border patrol) and get away with it because I have white, karen-immunity but I could see how that could go sideways as resisting arrest or some such bullshit and him still ending up dead.

then investigated. And if appropriate, given an all-expenses-paid vacation at that fine French Hotel, Hôtel des bars gris.

Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, Wiki
America we must push back just as this strong American did. Police refuse to understand what we want. Loveland police beat a 73 year old woman with dementia. Several new cases in Loveland have occurred since they beat Karen Garner. Police culture needs to change and it needs to happen right now.

10. Totem pole

As a former police officer I can tell you from experience that the more arrest an officer gets the higher he goes on the totem pole as far as regard and respect from fellow officers and supervisors. This officer figured he would get an arrest out of this traffic stop by scaring the motorist with his gun. Another grim fact is officers who kill in the line of duty are seen as a hero - just like Dirty Harry.
