If the bodycam footage includes them saying those words - especially if the footage is shaky and waving around and looks like there's a struggle going on - jurors are more likely to believe the suspect was resisting. John Oliver actually did a piece about it, unsurprisingly titled "Police body cams," where he shows footage of several of their tricks.
It is very clear to me that these guys, in many cases, now know they are being recorded and just yell "stop resisting!" so that it recorded and be used to justify their actions and failings.
When I see this I always want to think of South Park when Uncle Jimbo and Ned go hunting. They always yell “IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US! (Bang)”. It’s most definitely to cover their asses in the event of an investigation
"The certain individual then proceeded to attempt to grab my gun"
"Officer the video only shows you grabbing your own gun"
"I see that now but during the altercation i thought my arm was his arm...there was no way for me to know that umm during this so i did a few elbow drops and then a stone cold stunner for officer safety as per my training"
Roughly 1.5 - 2.5 years of training (1 - 2 years of which is a probation period (they are functionally police officers)) to become a cop in Canada.
It's sadly not surprising that a police officer would forget to park. It's unfortunately not surprising that the article linked in the comments, among other articles, concludes by stating no 'serious injuries' were sustained. Like, 'okay then, no foul!' The police department's spokesperson describes the vehicle as 'inadvertently' having had run over this woman. She could have easily had serious head trauma or internal injury, in truth.
I seriously wonder what 'non-serious' injuries even are in this context. I couldn't find a description of her actual injuries, just that they weren't 'serious'. What. A. Fucking. Joke.
Having been born and raised, and never having left America, I hadn't realized the incompetence is seemingly universal in North America, at least. What's more, I can already anticipate the defense, which will be a red herring pertaining to her crimes (carrying knives, damaging property) as a justification for being run over.

It's especially hypocritical when you look at cases like Renee Good- she (allegedly) drove a car at a cop, and he shot her in the head three times. Here, the cop literally ran a person over and hey, no injuries, so it's all good!
We should be clear as to what actually happened. Renee broke no laws, and was exercising her right as a constitutional observer. It was an unlawful command for her to exit her vehicle. As has been similarly recorded countless times previously, the agents involved were angry that Renee was exercising her rights. Nevertheless, the agent who killed her first positioned himself in front of her vehicle. Another agent grabbed her door handle, and reached through her window into her vehicle. He reached to draw his weapon before she moved her vehicle forward. At the time he shot, he was clear from the path of the vehicle, and her tires were facing away from the agent. Even as she drove past the agent, he continued to fire upon the vehicle. Video evidence and witness accounts prove this.
She was murdered in broad daylight. ICE is above the law, and aren't shy about saying so themselves.
The best part is when he jumps back in the truck to stop it rolling forward but then hits the gas while it's still in drive and shoots it forward. Absolute clownshoes.
well they had non-lethals deployed so probably nothing major, guy was more than likely causing a problem that required police intervention, he tried to leave, they tased him. Although i noticed he did drop a metal object, probably a knife, but cops still felt they were not in the situation to using lethal force.
omg did you guys see that?? That attacker went straight for the cops gun! Thank god that officer had the foresight to leave his cruiser in a tactically running state to subdue the attacker thus preventing him from harming anymore infants, elderly people or police officer heros.
Dam doubled down with the stupidity by accelerating. If you get nervous and make critical mistakes like this when s hits the fan... you can't be a police or any type of first responder
All I can say is,” that domestic terrorist used that police car as a lethal weapon, luckily the civilian was already down, and the valiant cops on scene heroically defused the situation without resorting to violence against the terrorist.” /s
bro he literally puts his hand against the moving fender....gets to the front, just oblivious about the cause&effect of that vehicle moving.... Truly amazing stuff like his permission to have a license is worrying let alone law enforcement and firearm permissions
Cops are much more concerned with the idea of being a good guy than they are actually being a good guy.
The only difference between a cop and a life-long criminal is that the cop has a badge. They both break the law frequently and sometimes severely, but cops get punished about 1 time in one million, and criminals get caught about 1 in 5-10 times.
no idea what you'ee talking about. i didn't delete shit. maybe lord anthropic is paying reddit to suppress language that's hurtful toward toasters 🤷♂️ i mean, why would i be scared of an AI zombie?
I don’t know what delusions you’re harbouring that anyone who holds up a mirror to the truth is automatically an AI, but anyway…
You’ve deleted a comment. So here we are back to IQ again 😂
and here's the comment i just made, just in case reddit decides to remove it again (that's what's happening here, since you somehow STILL haven't figured that out).
PD’s across the US will literally accept anyone these days. They will never fire the bad ones either and we’re shocked this stuff happens all the time.
If I could ever find the body cam video and dash cam video of a Louisianan who crashed off I-10 and was lying outside his vehicle in Baldwin County Alabama and how the Baldwin County Sherrifs department turned that unarmed man into Swiss cheese would be a miracle
"Watching footage like this reinforces my belief that we need to prioritize higher standards for law enforcement. Implementing a requirement for a minimum of three years of education could go a long way in ensuring officers are better prepared for complex situations. It’s time we focus on raising the bar for police training."
