It must be the pits to have had so many interactions with police.

It must be the pits to have to lie about others because the truth is treason to people like you.

Of course, that isn't true. For every bad cop there are 100 good ones (except they all lie if it helps to keep the bad cop out of trouble). But the bottom line is that only a very small percentage of the public, no matter their color, will be shot by a cop.

So that one good experience with a cop might change that kid's life completely. Who knows what good he might accomplish?
I disagree..Being afraid of cops would not be used as a "free pass to become a criminal" by most stable minded people....maybe just to be more cautious...I can't see how corrupt cops can corrupt good decent people.
There's just NO way that a kid would think like you've just said.

That one good experience (if you forget the fact that the women was pulled over for no good reason..at all,) might make the child think it was pretty cool getting a free ice cream cone, especially from a cop, and that's likely ALL that will come from it.

No WAY is a cop handing out a cheap ice cream cone gonna EVER change a "kid's life completely".
The kid will learn from his parents what they think about cops...ice cream or no ice cream.

Wonder what the cop would have done, what with the power they obviously have to pull over vehicles for no reason, had he run into a driver that refused his ice cream and told him where to put it. Do you think the cop would have let that go?...being the nice guy he supposedly is....

If "nothing" is leaving people alone and letting them travel unimpeded by frivolous, useless stops by police trying to make themselves look and feel better about themselves...I'd rather have the nothing.

Some people prefer to see only the appeasing facade, I guess cause it's easier on the mind than acknowledging and caring about the whole truth.

THIS did NOT take place in Canada...


Two points.....Canadian Police ( who are city or town Police ) all have a red stripe on the leg of their uniform pants, with the exception of the RCMP and the Ontario Provincial Police services.


RCMP has a yellow stripe, and OPP have a light blue stripe on their trousers. The RCMP also have a yellow stripe on their uniform hats, and the OPP have a light blue stripe on their uniform hats.


Second Point......The officers very large shoulder insignia is a typical US small town style. The Canadian type is much less ornamental, and much more "readable ".


I hope that sets the record straight.

Even for people who haven't had "so many interactions with police", the corruption and anger from police towards the average hard working jo is easy to see...it's all around us.
That's probably why these odd "feel good" video's get posted...to try and smooth over the corruption.

Some of us might not be too happy about these injustices done to other people either...sometimes it's not necessary to experience the injustices and pain of violent discrimination to feel compassion and empathy towards those that do...or have.

Not everyone in the uniform is out to get you. Your never accept anything from ANY cop mentality is frankly borderline insane and you should seek help.

There are more videos like this, too.
This is seriously disgusting!!!

1. Why did the police pull them over when they committed no offense?
2. Why did the police pass out ice cream cones on duty? The taxpayers paid his time to fight crime, not to give out ice creams.
