Man Shot in the Head by Cop 58 seconds After Being Pulled Over for Tinted Windows

[breakfuss]

i dont even know why these car shops do tint darker than what is allowed.

It varies by state.

I don't see this cop being able to prove the man tried to elude him, which would have gave him the right to arrest him. He even asked the cop what the issue was, but all the cop could say was he wasn't following directions. Plus, once the key is out of the ignition, or the motor is turned off, it's to late to issue a traffic citation. It's too late to even issue a DWI at that point.

This is well out of my area of expertise but i believe the cops can cuff you for everyones safety whether you are being arrested or not.
Not complying and resisting being cuffed are bad decisions imo.

It varies by state.

i know. that is more reason they need to follow the state rules at the shop. most people wont know on their own how much tint is allowed because it's so different everywhere.

Not going watch this....

I didn't either

 

[Laidbackman]

This is 100% speculation and doesn’t appear anywhere in that video.

It's right in your face.

 

[ADevilYouKhow]

The discussion about how we arrived there is fine but once you begin wrestling with an officer and grabbing for sh*t.
Its usually a wrap.


I implore all my brothas to follow instructions when pulled over.
Don't become a hashtag on principle.

lmao

How’s the bleaching cream going?

All rich and fulfilling information

Now...back to MY question...

Why did this man exit his vehicle upon being pulled over? I know you think cars are the devil or whatever, so you probably don't have much experience in this space, but as a young man, my folks ie. my Father, and Uncles and older cousins, all imparted upon me some simply advice when being pulled over.

COME TO A FULL STOP

TURN OFF THE ENGINE

TURN OFF ALL MUSIC

TURN ON THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR

DO NOT MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVES...NOT EVEN FOR YOUR WALLET, UNTIL THEY SPECIFICALLY ASK YOU FOR LICENCE AND REGISTRATION

DROP THEM WINDOWS

DO NOT ANTAGONIZE THE COP

DO NOT SAY SHlT. SAY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Exiting the car for ANY reason gives a police officer, whose life may or may NOT be in danger, a reason to panic, or assume the worst, rather than the best.

We can criticize, punish, and remove police officers. This MUST be done because while not all cops are bad, there are too many bad cops in police forces all around this country.

HOWEVER...this dude put himself in a situation where the Officer is wondering "Why the fukk this man made a move?" "Is there something in the car?" "Does he have warrants or something?"

And again, I live in NYC, so all this is bare basics for me. In the South? The Deep South? I'm wondering what could possess this man to exit his vehicle for what could have realistically just been a routine traffic stop.

I agree 100%, at the same time the police evokes a fight or flight response out of people and makes them do irrational things.
Some guys lose the cop lottery and get a paranoid trigger happy cop that is eager to take a life.

At this point, I feel like the cameras they have on their uniforms is to just record their own snuff films. Not for the greater good of citizens. Especially black citizens.

In those rare situations, there has to be something already going on, like a domestic dispute, etc...

 

[Ozymandeas]

Same cops too scared to kill actual mass murderers who murdered a school full of children are super quick to kill people during traffic stops

Where's that energy when its actually needed?

Obviously, this dude made all the wrong decisions but, this cop could have easily diffused the situation. You know......what he's paid to do. He could have called for backup. He would have never took it that far with a white professional cac. He was immediately looking to murder when his job is to take people in, not be executioner.

Cops do not prioritize de-escalation in the best of situations. Once you get out of your car at a traffic stop you're basically dog food. I'm sure every police officer remembers the dash cam footage of that cop who was killed because he continuously tried to deescalate a traffic stop with an old cac who eventually delivered to him a slow and painful death, then drove off. When the cac was arrested and asked why he killed the officer he said; "because he let me." I believe that cop had disciplinary actions on file for escalation too.

Whether you agree or not, the onus is on the citizen to deescalate, not the paid professional. It's not right but you can protest this absurdity at your own peril.

Negged for clarity.

Public servant

Say it again

Public servant

He works for the people.

I saw this shyt, this is a murder right here. The cop didn't explain shyt to him and escalated the situation. That's a goddamn murder.

And I'm pretty pro-effective law enforcement, but this is MURDER

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

This situation was completely avoidable.

Good ol’ black victim blaming right on time
