Thats all good.  I'm not going to bitch about clicks, it is the name of the game if you want publicity for something.   To address my own comments, I don't think the 'check on his wife' comment was cool.  I think its possible to say that someone is wrong, and has no business being in the job they are without attacking every aspect of them and their spouse.  That's a bit wide of the evidence in my opinion.  As far as getting the girl and dad some attention and action on that incident I'm glad you are doing that for them.  She did not deserve to be treated like that and I would be livid if I saw my daughter treated that way over a speeding ticket.  I hope you are able to make the stupid hurt for this police dept a bit.  Overall I'm not offended really that YouTube channels hype there stuff a bit.

Can’t say officer 2 didn’t warn him what was about to happen if he chose to proceed.  This just further confirms  that officer 1 is a complete dumbass and shouldn’t be in any position of power.

I do wish officer 2 would have made it a bit more clear, but body cams and all, he has to be careful as well.  It would suck for a seemingly good cop like him get berated for some kind of preferential treatment (even though it wasn’t that  at all).

Yeah, I definitely got that vibe.  He saw the ID and kinda started to talk with the "Oh you stepped in some sticky shit now man" tone.  I get that he's not going to argue officer HulkSmash's facts with him or start a confrontation... I mean he wasn't there.  But the comments very much came across to me as saying 'you sure you wanna do this bro'?


You know what impressed me.  That after he treated her like that she held it very together and really never talked to him in anything other than a calm tone.  I would NOT have been able to pull that off.  She makes a very calm statement in the car and he whips himself into a frenzy, starts to scream at her and then hyper-slams his own car door.  She may have made some mistakes early on but she's clearly more in charge of her own emotions than he is.

That lawyer is a member here, so when you go calling people liars and unprofessional based on your opinion remember that.

I literally don't give a single flying fuck. My opinion is warranted. And you show me where I called him a liar. I didn't, though what he did isn't far off. I do think it was an unprofessional comment to make. If he hadn't made them I'd be solidly in agreement with him and I'm sure I'd have actually finished the video. But maybe he thinks those comments bolster his case? He should make those comments in front of whatever jury he eventually finds himself before and see if they help.
Fallacious equal lies.  I literally don't give a flying fuck if you give a flying fuck.  You have stated who you are and what you stand for in your posts here.  LOL.  
https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/333874/Screenshot_2024-04-19_12_14_35-3192182.png


Fallacious also equals illogical.
But you're goddamn right I've stated who I am and what I stand for. I'm a guy that can be turned off by deceptive and/or illogical comments designed to invoke emotion. I believe in facts, truth, and often times (but not always)... the law.



LOL, your truth?

I never believed in that "your truth/my truth" bullshit. I'm old school. I just believe in the truth.



If you say so.  Real truth is the cop in the video shouldn't be a cop.  He has issues that need to be dealt with.

Yeah, I don't disagree with that.

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have said that, but it was obviously a tongue-in-cheek. You should see all the anonymous threats and hate mail I get from cops. So I don't really give much of a fuck anyways. I have a teenage daughter, so maybe this one got me in the feels a little bit and a little riled up.

I just did the interview w/ the local news lady and she told me she just interviewed the town attorney and the prosecutor dropped all charges and they fired the cop.

Whoever wrote their official statement needs to be fired as well.  She didn't refuse to provide that information, she certainly didn't do so "knowingly or intentionally", she didn't open the window as far as the officer felt that I needed to be.

Also, they use the phrase "lawful requests".  A request is optional, I swear if I'm ever on a jury about someone refusing to obey a cop that only "asks" or "requests" something be done that person walks.  If it's an order then fucking say it is.

You were spot on. Seems like he was protected till the video and publicity came out.

Two months the city and P.D. says everything is fine. Video out less than one(?) week and cop is gone.

I've had to deal with the Police on numerous instances. Every one was either a fishing expedition or a complete fuck up. Including me being assaulted because the officer thought I was armed. Nevermind I hold a security clearance higher than that shitbag will ever have. Not to mention vetted much better by the Federal Government.

I'm a betting man and live in Vegas I'd bet over 50% of those interactions are any of the above, completely fucked up.

Of course you are part of the problem so you don't see any issues. Fucking Clown World.

I literally see it as just a symbol representing law enforcement. Just like the thin red line represents the fire department. I don't see the thin red line as being representative of an "us vs them" attitude within the fire department. Why should it be any different with the police? But if you want a deeper meaning to what the thin blue line represents then it's supposed to be the notion that the blue (police) represents the line separating chaos and anarchy from civilized society.

The city deleted their Facebook within 40 minutes of the video being posted. Charges dropped and cop fired within less than 24 hours. That may be the fastest I've seen that happen.

That's great man.  Seriously, really glad he's gotten booted.  I am glad to see that she got a modicum of justice out of that.  The fact they were going to continue to charge her was astonishing.  

I understand.  I think of my own girl in that situation and I would just not be able to handle that as well as that Dad and his daughter did.  I get the anger.

This may be the most views I've ever had on a video in the first 24 hours. Over 600K views. Looking at my best performing video, "How to Get Fired as a Cop in 3 Days," which was a good one, it had only 500K in the same period of time. And that ones at almost 4M views now. So if this one keeps going, it's gonna be up there.

I used to see it that way.  I innocently used to defend every cop.  Because every cop I knew and worked around was good.  Gradually more and more whole truthful videos have come out showing some things that trouble me.  

Now I know not EVERY cop is good.  I also know that the cops I know in real life are.  And they have run off three like the guy in this video.

But none the less I have come to the conclusion sometimes the thin blue line can be a crutch instead of a symbol.  

I never got caught up in any of the thin blue line stuff.  I have tied a blue ribbon of support on my antenna for local cops murdered. I have also called down the cops that murdered Botham Jean, atatianna Jefferson and Daniel shaver.

I generally like lawyerup's videos that expose truth and shed light. Doesn't mean I dislike cops.

You still don't get it. Perhaps intentionally.

I have never owned any thin (insert color) sticker or decal on anything, that I am aware of.

I acknowledge blue means PD to me.
Red means FD to me.

hits me right in the feels.  The only time my daughter has ever been pulled over, she was driving through Oklahoma going back to university of Arkansas.  Some yokel deputy sheriff pulled her over for following to closely.  Then he ran her tag wrong and asked her who her car belonged to and tried to tell her she was driving a stolen car.  

I called their office, in the moment.  Told them I owned the damn car and why was their deputy accusing my daughter of driving a stolen car, my daughter was crying and texting me.  Ultimately I got to talk to the deputy who pulled her over, after I got the whole story and just asked him why.  He was such a dick head to me on the phone demanding that I file a complaint if I was upset.  I told no, I been a fireman 30 years, all I want to know is why did you deal with it that way.  No good answer, just deflecting and dick head.  He never apologized never really told her anything.  Once he found out the tag was run wrong he went back to her window and told her your plate ran wrong, its your dads car.  Never told her she could go, just turned around and walked back to his car and left.  My daughter is asking me could she go now or would she get arrested.  I think she was 19.  You hate to see cops be total dick heads to your kids.  I just doesn't have to be that way.  

Fucking prick in Oklahoma got away with all of it, because I was cool and did not waste my time filling out paperwork that most likely would have been trashed anyway.

That is good. At least his name is in all of these and that will follow around any application he tries.

Sadly, there will always be desperate agencies and the one in TX is an example. When they have low pay, they are either getting candidates that are desperate to get into LE, retired from another job and want to keep doing it, OR they are rejects from other agencies. When NOLA showed up at my college, they had a starting pay of 18k a year. Everywhere else around the school was double that.

What is the thin blue line?  I'm listening.  Respectfully, please educate me to what it means and symbolizes?

I literally see it as just a symbol representing law enforcement. Just like the thin red line represents the fire department. I don't see the thin red line as being representative of an "us vs them" attitude within the fire department. Why should it be any different with the police? But if you want a deeper meaning to what the thin blue line represents then it's supposed to be the notion that the blue (police) represents the line separating chaos and anarchy from civilized society.

You're hard pressed to find a thin red line logo anywhere and I've never seen any of the other ones.  But thin blue line sure is pretty common, and frequently on police stuff.  Are they supporting themselves?

Are they supporting themselves? I don't understand the question.

Eta: and I'm not hard pressed to find thin red line logos. I see em all the damn time. Look on Amazon and Etsy. They're common as hell.

Why would cops have TBL stickers?

Because it's a symbol for the police which they are? Because they see themselves as the dividing line between chaos and civility? Because they're part of a secret cabal organized and trained to punish non-cops? Fuck if I know. Ask them. Most of the TBL stickers I see aren't even on cars owned by cops. One of my co-workers was handing out TBL wristbands in the wake of George Floyd. Lots of people at work were wearing them. They're not cops either. I imagine everyone has their own reasons but the underlying message, I presume, is that they support law and order, ergo, they support the police. And the TBL represents the police.

Is there a violation if one of your optional safety lights your are not required to have doesn’t work?

FFS.
It’s not the same bulb.
It’s an auxiliary light.
Like fog lamps which are also not required.

Are you really supporting using nonworking, not required/not mandatory optional and auxiliary equipment as legit?

Fear biters and respect muh authoritah types rarely are the guys saving the day. Quite the opposite, they're the ones causing situations that don't have to be a shitshow to become one.

Sorry if I was not clear.
But that’s exactly the point I was making.

He is totally not the type that would storm the hill, go frag the machine gun nest, selflessly expose himself to enemy fire to get to a wounded comrade, etc.

But a group of guys like him with the right leadership will gleefully Wade into a riot that needs to be put down, mow down an incoming assault, raze an objective on an assault.

They’re no sheepdog.
They don’t want to go full wolf.
They don’t have the right stuff to be the good wolf going toe to toe with evil wolves.

They want sheepdog status to do some wolf stuff.  Which results in stuff like this.
Which society didn’t used to give a crap about when they pulled it on wolves.
And the smart ones were good about not doing it on the sheep.
This is not a smart one.

What they really are is a pitbull that wants to go pit on smaller dogs.
Or tear into whatever flock or pack they can while in a pack of pit bulls that is sure to win.

Oh, you’re not talking in the wild.....merch doesn't compare as well.  Most sensible folks understand there is only one Stars and Stripes and it's super gay and disruptive to bastardize and co-opt it.  TBL is un-American
