    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.

      Gall*, Gaul would be the region of Western Europe conquered by Rome (to put it simply).

      I’m sorry, I just used to type it like this too. Carry on.

        I was half drunk when I typed that, but even sober me didn’t notice the difference. I legit appreciate this and that fact you didn’t belittle me means you came from a place of education and I respect the hell out of that.

      Headlights off at 4pm on an overcast day. Not raining, not even misty. Just overcast.

      People saying the victim deserved it because her didn’t act like a “perfect victim” are soft between the ears

        You can clearly see in the video that visibility was not that bad. The video was shot from most likely a screen side camera and not the main camera so it’s not like there was a ton it could do to upscale the quality. Even the cops perspective it was mid day at best and shows they were fishing for sure.

        As for folks arguing against this it’s just apologists grasping at straws to justify why this man was pulled over on flimsy at best reasons. It started simply so a cop (and then multiple cops) could stroke their authority egos.

        Even if the initial cop that pulled him over was coming from a legit placed of concern he clearly couldn’t keep his boy with the wild fists under control so he’s just as culpable. Not one of those officers reacted to officer fisticuffs and that’s simply not okay.

        Some folks can’t seem to grasp the concept that shitty or incompetent people can wind up in a place of authority and that these officers can’t be placed upon a pedestal simply due to their position. Actions speak louder than words. Period.

          This happened in February, but it is clearly still light out. Cop said they should be on because of the weather anyways (that he must’ve been imagining), not because it was dark.
