I haven't been stopped by the police for a long time but the last time I was I apologized for the mistake I made in traffic---speeding in a school zone---and I thanked him for stopping me because "I know better and it's good to be reminded before something serious happens." He let me go without a warning or a ticket. Every since, I've slowed down in school zones so it was a win-win for both of us.

Ridiculous accusation. At 16:18 you hear him say it was at least on video. He thought it was on camera. You all making up your own narrative doesn't make it correct.

She was a complainer.

Crappy Cop overall it seems.....
Do you have a link to his suspension?

Last I heard he was put on desk duty - and that was via an official statement from the Dept. of Public Safety.

Sometimes . . . when there's no one around . . . I don't use my turn signals.

No sense being nice to empty space.

Another weak generalization. I care less if people smoke or not no matter how nasty it is.

NO, you do this BEFORE anyone is stopped - before any cop gets out on the street. You train the police (and constantly reinforce) that NO ONE has to lick their boots and if someone gets belligerent - without physically fighting - then that's the job and you have to learn to deal with it... and that they are responsible for the safety of not only themselves, but all the CITIZENS they encounter too.

She behaved the same way I did when I was pulled over, but she got hauled off to jail. I didn't.

The difference is that I'm white.
umm... i suspect that another rather fundamental difference is that it was an entirely different cop

Three different cops, actually.
