I had the super soaker of this. It was bright green and made me feel like the most bad ass 10 yr old.It can be dangerous to be black and a legal gun owner in America. Here, take this!

Or like in Virginia, where the cops were hyped and pissed because the guy pulled into a well lit area where the cops were 100x safer.
It is difficult to impossible to convey to a cop that you intend to stop somewhere 'safer'. Once they arrived at the BP, they already considered it a 'felony traffic stop' for failing to pull over quickly.
I honestly got tired of listening to the cops telling him to get out of the car. Why is complying so difficult? Dude was calm the entire time, so it wasn't a panic situation, he just didn't do what they wanted him to do and he got maced after not following commands.
Cops should know why he pulled into a well lit gas station. They even admitted on camera to understanding the logic of it. Cops should use thier freakin' brains.
Isn't like they had anything better to do anyways.
The cops should be glad that you are pulling into a safe place. More cops are killed by passing motorists than shot in the line of duty (OK I'm just speculating here... go look it up if you want).
Well maybe both side need training, add the how react safely when pull over to the driver Ed course . We are almost at a point of where warning label must be put on everything and common sense is getting less common . Or in the future we will have a AI or robot do all the pull over and interactions .
He didn’t say that and if if I’m not mistaken we are talking about the army Lt, who didn’t die. He was just hit with chemical weapons.If the shoe fits...
I don't think I've ever discussed graffiti on this forum, so no, I don't believe I was, but who knows? I've talked a lot of shit on here. It wouldn't surprise me if our respective outlooks on that topic also differed completely though.
But back to this, since you've now reiterated it, you believe that non-compliance is grounds for the police to murder you, got it. For somebody who seems to contemplate these things deeply, this seems wildly incongruent. This will never add up to me. When I see bootlickers defending the police every time they murder somebody, this is always what it comes back to - maybe if he/she had listened and done what the cops said, they would still be alive.
This is indefensible, period. I don't give a fuck about talking policy, a man's life was taken for absolutely no reason. That's the end of that part of the discussion. The other part of the discussion is that if Daunte Wright was white, he would still be alive, no matter how much he did not comply.
It was a good shot in the dark. Still, lots of cops killed in vehicle accidents (up to 1/3). Pulling into a well lit gas station is in the officer's best interest.As for your last point, I don't think it's true. Not saying cops are getting gunned down left and right but getting hit by car is also pretty rare.
Police fatalities: One in 10 deaths happen when vehicles strike officers
Compared to other risks of the job, vehicle strikes are rare. But the serious injuries to a Colerain Township officer show the consequences are severe.www.cincinnati.com
When being stopped, black drivers are being taught to turn on the interior lights, put their hands where they can be seen.

From the dialog on the video, the police tried to rationalize thier fear by mentioning people out there trying to harm police officers. I wonder how many people trying to hurt police officers take the effort to pull into a well lit area.
So what's your point again?
