Cops Unlawfully Pull Guy Over But He Stands Up to Them! Guy Refuses to ID and Teaches Cops the Law

[@thomasconnolly5291]

Another ignorant incompetent cop, imagine that.

[@mickyw1455]

I don't think these cops were ignorant or incompetent; I think they knew exactly what they were doing. The problem for them is that this guy wasn't falling for their bullying tactics. The guy in the car did a good job defending himself, with the exception that he should have left immediately after being told he was not detained. The cops should be ashamed of themselves, but I doubt they are.

Yeah , I think that law only pertains to maritime law. On the water you are (shouldn't need to be but) required by law to lend assistance, ie tow a vessel that loses power, or wait until a tow vessel arrives. Something along those lines. But , things are much different on the water than on the land. Morals will dictate helping an officer not law . Back in 2004 I gave aid to an officer who was in a physical alteration with a dude and well, not winning. I had my 93 lb 2.5 yo protection trained Giant Schnauzer with me on a walk. I offered assistance, he screamed yes. Long story short, my dog , not me lol ended that alteration in about 70 seconds, without any force, hist the threat of immense violence from my dog was enough. Thankfully. I must say tho, now? I'm not so sure I'd be as quick to help(bc of the 10s of Thousands of videos of cops abusing citizens over their hurt feelings or power tripping) and that gives me a yuk feeling in my stomach bc I so wish we did have Peace Officers again who actually put the good citizens (Constitution & Bill of Rights) well & far above and beyond the states/Gooberments interests . Stasi order followers is what we have now. Obviously it's not all and never "all of them" but as many others have pointed out, where are the good ones at, it's rare we see them doing all they can to get the oodles of bad ones fired.
