It’s not worth the danger of the chase for a traffic violation, and not worth the danger of the chase for the drugs.

      That’s such an odd statement coming from someone who couldn’t properly articulate their argument for why a case that doesn’t support ‘cops bad’ on the merits provided by OP’s link… is so adamantly ‘cops bad’ in their argument.

      Please stop devolving to “I dislike this guy’s arguments because it doesn’t fit my narrative, so I must demonize him by belittling him so that I feel better about myself” and admit… with all the facts of this very specific situation given… that it just doesn’t fit this sub. It’s not a good case of ‘cops bad’.

          Gods, man. Take a minute to open your eyes here and realize that not everyone who has a different opinion of you is your fucking enemy. Life isn’t Black and White. It’s shades of fucking* grey. Being able to articulate your position and argument is worth significantly more than saying ‘boot licker’ to someone who can actually articulate their argument.

          Your ability to argue is leaps and bounds below mine. And that’s a fucking fact. But, we aren’t enemies here. Necessarily. Police aren’t always right, and I’m not a supporter of The War on Drugs. I’d fucking eat pot gummies and do X with the wife if they weren’t illegal. And if I could protest police brutality and against government overreach and for individual rights, I fucking would. Hell, while i was stuck doing my job during riots, I actively supported my wife marching FOR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS and against the government.

          Just admit it, man. You’re stuck on a narrative that blindly divides you from people who would actively help you if you’d only listen.

            Bootlicker always cracks me up. They think it makes them sound tough but it does the opposite.

            The world is grey. Everyone has become so binary is maddening.

            I have no issue with most cops but I really despise bad cops.

            I fully support police reform as with modern technology we can do things differently now. We need to rethink how we police.

            But back to this case, I don’t see an issue.
