    Talk about a bunch of dudes with fragile egos getting their feelings hurt because the man has the gaul to question their authority and demand their supervisor. That’s such limp dick behavior and is a fucking disgrace. Even if the cops were in the right for pulling him over (not having your headlights on? Really?) that’s just ridiculous.

    Cameras “can only capture what can be seen and heard,” the sheriff added.

    Don’t believe your lying eyes.

    How does having your headlights off in the rain justify forcing a motorist out of their vehicle?

      This is why cops in my region have body cams; and “my cam wasn’t on” or “my cam broke at just the right time” is a very bad look.

      But they don’t use it to make sure they don’t mess up: they’re using it to show they did everything right, so someone was advised of their rights, the state of everything is known, etc.

      But, not in America. American Cops Are (I’m guessing) Bastards.

    They try to claim he reached for a knife on the floor, the video is pretty clear in the fact that he is no threat and isn’t reaching for anything from before the window is broken till after he is dragged out.

      In fact, it’s very clear his entire intent is to try to make it impossible for them to claim he was reaching for something. And they still claimed it… like, if he had complied and reached to take off his seatbelt, they probably would have shot him…

        Yea but did you notice he’s black? What are they supposed to do? Not brutalize him?

    The sheriff said the cellphone camera footage from inside the car “does not comprehensively capture the circumstances surrounding the incident.”

    Bullshit.

    As always, ACAB.
