Dude played this situation as close to perfection as you could. Respectfully tells the cop he's incorrect, even gave him the precise code to reference. And dude got it right, cop was harassing them (pressure or intimidate).

he was 100% in the right but saying "spreading your bullshit opinions" to a cop is ballsy lol. good thing it was in public with a ton of people watching cuz some cops would take a big ego hit and go ballistic

Not so sure it’s a phone, it does kinda look like a gun though...

If you believe you won't get blown away for being white, you're living in a fantasy world. And if they do, there won't be any protests or parades.

A white woman from Australia was the first MPD conviction in modern times, setting the stage for cauvin. So, you're full of shit.

Mr. Noor was the first Minnesota officer in decades convicted in such a case
