@@jamescash887 How do you know they're "Liberal, Hippie, Losers"? What makes you think they're liberal? Their politics, if they're even political at all, is not readlily noticable. I don't see them wearing Bernie Sanders or AOC t-shirts or carrying BLM or defund the police signs or asking the officers to use gender pronouns. "Hippie"? Hippies are in their late 60's, 70's and early 80's. These young men are too young to be labled as hippies. They definitely weren't born in the "Baby Boomer" generation nor did they come of age during the Vietnam war era. Looks like they were born after 9/11 to me. I have "hippie" in my username, and although I was born in the Vietnam era, I was not aware of what hippies were until the early 1980's when they were starting to call them Yuppies. "Losers"? Again what makes you think they're losers? Because they're not wearing a suit and tie or business casual? This interaction took place on a Sunday and I don't know about you but I definitely dress down on Sunday's. They do look and sound like stoners though and when I was their age I was a stoner too and still am, but I never partake unless my schedule is clear of any major responsibilities such as on nights and weekends. But I'm no loser. I've owned a house for 23 years that's almost free and clear, 5 cars and put 3 children through college without them ever having to worry about student debt.

[@eshootziscrs2868]

I think you nailed it. Maybe you don't realize it though. The officer said " we have every right...." Implying that officers have rights. Can you name an office, title or position that is given rights? Does the constitution provide protection for the rights of any job, title, position, office or title? Rights are only for individuals. Positions have privilege, authority, obligation, requirements, policies etc, but not rights. The officers primary directive as an agent of the state within the United States is the same as the purpose of government, of the uniting of the states. The core essential principles that are the foundation of our common interest. The rights of the individual that are essential and necessary to freedom. To the existence of a free people. Without individual rights, there are no rights for anyone. Just privilege and authority for the few and subjugation of the many. It's a very big deal when officers confuse and conflate rights with authority. It is the inescapable obvious admission that the officer places rights as an inconvenience and hinderance to his use of authority. By giving himself and all other officers "rights" that no other person has he is denying the existence and violating the protecting of every individuals rights. RAS just happens to make this very easy, allowable and even expected. No officer you don't have that right but you also do not have that lawful authority. Watch the world around you with the thought that words are being misused and see if you don't notice just how much this is creating harmful issues to this country. From the misuse of gender, the conflation of feelings with facts. Officers who call the subject of suspicions a suspicious person rather than a suspect. The misuse of the definition of RAS etc. Laws are nothing but words on paper. We have ample evidence from police, prosecutors, politicians and even supreme court justices, of just how badly things can go when the definitions of those words or the meaning of those words are misconstrued to fit a desired conclusion. It's exactly how RAS and QI came to exist. Its why a vaccine is no longer actually a vaccine, a new strain of the flu a pandemic. Emergency authorizations allowed for things that are not emergencies within government purview. How a president and administration can say $3 trillion dollars cost nothing. I think you nailed it noting the officer used the word "right". He may have believed he had the authority or he may actually be so ignorant and constitutionally illiterate that he really believed it was his right. Sorry officer but even as a person, an individual, your rights are actually limited and restricted by your position not enhanced to super powers. Just some thoughts, maybe I'm way off but I offer them for consideration, a different perspective. Take them as you will.

I live in a Suburb or Detroit and I had a cop back into my driveway and hide behind my hedge looking for people running the stop sign, while I had no problem with him stopping people for that reason I didn't want him using my driveway to do it because In my area if you have anything to do with calling the police or allowing them to use your property to bust people they are going to come back and destroy your property. So I nicely went out and asked him to please move and I explained my reason to him. He got really pissed off and left my driveway and sat in the street. So about a week later the SAME cop while I was riding my bicycle around for my exercise ( I am a cancer patient and I try to stay in shape as best I can) stopped me while I was riding on the sidewalk and started searching me and asking me all sorts of questions that were what I perceived as a trap to get me to incriminate myself in some way and I told him that I knew who he was and WHY he was doing this and he told me it had nothing at all to do with why he stopped me, He saw me leave my house and followed me for about a half a mile before he stopped me. He tried to give me tickets for all sorts of bicycle infractions like no light, no helmet, no protective gear and the fact that I had my hood on made him as he said pulled me over because he couldn't see my face. I told him I am a disabled Veteran, and he said What Fuckin war were YOU in ? I showed him my military ID and a couple photos of me in Iraq on my phone that I keep and he told me anyone can fake pictures. I just told him go ahead and give me the tickets and I'll sure the living hell out of you personally, He ended up getting back into his car and leaving I wish he would have done something I could have had that particular cop FIRED for, Punk, and he is WAY younger than I am.

This officer is highly emotional. This makes him a danger to others because emotional thinking does not allow one to think logically.

[@thsimpsonsguy]

And yet he's still working as a police officer. How can something like this not end up losing him his job? It's absolutely insane. Fucking police unions are a plague in this country

Exactly! Like a lot of cops he's extremely hypersensitive and unstable and that's always a recipe for disaster.

No, he stayed calm until one of the suspicious guys, the hoody, seemed to hide something. Emotional officers would draw a gun and shoot or rest his leg on the neck and kill the person.

I had something very similar happen. I flipped off a cop and he followed me and pulled me over. He claimed my brake lights and license plate light weren’t working. I literally showed him they were. My car was just dirty and the light was on its way out. I was parked right in front of my garage when he pulled me over and he threatened to have my car towed because it was “blocking the alley” 😂 I told him I would just go to court and get it all dropped and he said “Good luck!” A few weeks later I went to court. Showed them pictures that my car was in proper working order and they dropped all the charges. The sweetener was months later running into, as I called him, Officer “Haircut” I called him this because of his “Hitler youth” haircut I told him he had. I had quite the victory when I told him I got all the charges dropped.

[@phambabe]

“Aimlessly walking around” Never has the 1A auditor catchphrase “Is that a felony or a misdemeanor?” been more appropriate. It’s hilarious that Officer Name’s-Right-Here doesn’t seem to realize that apparently he’s “aimlessly driving around” since he doesn’t appear to have been doing anything or traveling anywhere.

It's usually the people who really shouldn't be police officers who become ones. You want calm, logical, intelligent and respectful people in such a vital profession but those are attributes almost NO police officers have. They're usually the complete opposite; aggressive, illogical and reactional, incredibly stupid and disrespectful. My theory is that it has something to do with the thumb like heads 99 percent of police have.
