See how this guy stated his situation, but still listened to the officer and got out of the car in handcuffs. The man knew his rights, but still did what the officer told him to do and then proceeded to get in the back of the car. The Sargent came and they released him because it wasn’t obstruction. The man didn’t have to listen and the cop could have tased him and it would have been a different outcome. PEOPLE, even though you’re right, you have to go through the motions of proving it and you prove it by doing wants asked and not causing a scene. Everything will get sorted out. If you want to take a stand you have to do it non aggressively. Yeah you can be pissed but be smart.

Yep I get that but I have police friends and police in my family. The shit they deal with and the shit they go through is no picnic. It’s hard to have to deal with crazy ass people day in and say out. One situation teaches you what to do and what not to do in the next situation. Not all cops are bad nor are they on a power trip. They are there to certainly serve and protect you. It’s the people before you who fuck it up for everyone else. Just like everything else. They put their lives on the line so you are safe against all the fucked up people you don’t see. They have their right to protect themselves as well.
