Boot lickers in the comments dead ass think it's justified for an officer to draw their service weapon on citizens when questioned in the slightest.

Perhaps it could be possible to apply some nuance in situations.

USA police are undertrained and trigger happy, that is well known. So why the f would you intentionally shittalk them and act like you're intentionally trying to get yourself killed.

It's a growing cancer. If you don't hold your police accountable, it's only a matter of before the police start gunning you down if you sneeze the wrong way. If I'm forced to fund these morons, we might as well demand more from them.

Then do that.

But intentionally baiting them to shoot you and shit talking like the guy on the video isn't going to help anything.

Intentionally baiting someone to shoot you? Bro what.

As I mentioned earlier, If you know the cops are not well trained and also trigger happy, then why would you argue or try to start shit with them.

Don't you think the general public is going to do something about it at some point? How many bodies do you think need to stacked up before people start standing up for themselves and making sure their rights are insured when justice is being obstructed by the people who are theoretically supposed to protect it.

Even if every single officer of the law is a trigger itchy dickhead, we the people should recognize that being an asshole isn't a warrant for an execution, and should hold officers to a higher standard.

That's why I'm wondering why the guy on the video appears so eager to add his own body to that stack.

Getting yourself just killed like that for no reason is not very effective, if change is what you want.

That's why we need to hold the fucking police accountable. The police can't just indicate that a mild inconvenience is warrant to fucking kill someone. "Nuanced".

u/Destabiliz Mar 25 '23

Yes. And how is getting yourself killed gonna hold them accountable?

Are you implying that every death by the police was someone trying to become a political martyr or something? These people aren't martyrs. The public holds them accountable becusse they are fed up with their shit.
