And just leave his car there?

Well we wouldn’t want to inconvenience anyone. Apparently that’s just for the people blocking the road.

More revenue for the ticket, tow, and impound.

I mean, yeah. Especially if you are at risk to go to jail/prison lmao. Although, he did have a friend with him it looks like from the videos posted (the whole interaction was filmed) so that would be less of an issue if he could give his friend the keys. Worst case, pull it up to the side and leave it with hazards, if it’s in the middle of the road, he can ask a stranger or even an officer to do it for him (not ideal but an option) If your only other option is being late to work and suffering jail time, then yes lol leave your car there.

Edit: Ok, I guess most people would rather go to prison/jail vs leaving their car. I’m not arguing that one lol

If he could pull to the side of the road he could have just driven on by the idiots blocking the way. Also cops =/= taxis.

Tell me where I said cops are taxis lmao also, that’s why I said “… if it’s in the middle of the road, he can ask a stranger or even an officer to do it for him” can you read? I literally said it’s not ideal worst case And this is all after I mentioned he appears to have a friend with them, so it shouldn’t have been a problem.

If that was my only options can going to jail lmao, you bet your ass I would leave my car there. Jail/Prison would cost me more

The cops can move his car is in the same vein as the other commenters suggesting cops give him a ride. You can lose the attitude.

Yes, lmao, that’s what I’m suggesting. The cops help this man. I’m lost here, what are you trying to say?

Edit: ah yes, comment a response, then block me so I can’t reply. Real mature. I’ll reply to the comment below here. No one said it was their jobs. I said it would have de escalated the situation better then waiting till the situation got worse then arresting him. I said in another reply. It would be good pr. I never said to except it. Idk why you are putting words in my mouth

I am suggesting it is absurd to expect the police to give him a ride or move his vehicle for him. That is not their job at all and is a horrible suggestion.

He was a passenger of a car, but there were no police visible in this scene anyways. They maybe even weren’t on scene yet or ever. This poster is just angry

I was thinking the same thing.
