Police def overdid it, but part of the problem might be that some people would prefer to pay the fine for speeding because it’s insignificant to them. This specific component of the legal system is broken because it treats the wealthy exactly the same as everyone else.
My grandfather taught me about gun safety for as far back as I can remember. He didn’t keep loaded guns around where we could get them but that wouldn’t have mattered because the number one rule was don’t touch them without permission and I never saw any of us kids break it. He also drilled into us not to treat them like toys. They were never gotten out for fun. Only to hunt or practice with. Which is not the attitude I see in many other gun owners.
Kids are kids though and consequences often don’t stick in the face of possible adventure. We don’t actually fully develop our risk assessment until the age of 25. That’s why both sides are important. Teach but also lock them up.
When the police came round, repeatedly, to my childhood house, after being called by my mother because my father was raping and beating her, the police laughed.
Maybe the police, as a collective, will deserve respect in some hypothetical future where they don’t often harm the innocent, and don’t often make the world worse.
Technically? All the cheaters in 2020 were prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. All zero of them. Expect the wealthy Republican ones who had houses in two states and tried to vote both.
Excessive use of force by the cop who clearly wanted to escalate. Tyreek Hill also wasn’t being smart in the way that was handled. We already know how paranoid and trigger happy law enforcement can be. People like to act tough on the internet, but I wouldn’t DARE roll up tinted windows during a police stop knowing how shit could escalate. I’m trying to have them see my hands at all times. That’s exactly the kind of shit that can happen when you’re just trying to get home safe. Whatever it is, it’s not worth it.
