Logan's face after Van Buren told him off was priceless.

Not having to worry about getting shot by the cops when you get pulled over for having a taillight out is a privilege in the US, as disgusting as that is. Just because you don’t have to experience the difference doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

[@OfficialMageHD]

@@marafranklin6205 Nobody gets shot for having their taillight out. That is the reason those people got pulled over, but it's the actions they make during their interaction with the officer that is usually what leads to them getting shot. That's not saying all those cases are only ever on how the person acts, although there's very few that are strictly on the officer being trigger happy. It's usually just one wrong move when someone is very aggravated, which for most people that sort of aggravation doesn't seem like much, so the moves they make don't seem an issue, but for officers they deal with situations where a move like that from someone that's aggravated is likely to be a weapon. We need to stop with this black and white view of those events. When you talk about it like it's simply getting shot for a taillight being out, you end up with people on edge during any interaction with an officer, and can create more of those situations. If we have more people calm and just getting through the traffic stop we can find the officers and situations that are actual issues, which would get much more backing from people. I also think more people need dashcams, not just for situations with officers, but just in general if you drive you should have one. It's easy proof if there's an accident who was at fault, as well as a dashcam facing into the car can be good for saying without a doubt you weren't distracted at the time which is good for dealing with insurance.

Kinda? It really depends on the situation. In her case, her wealth & status gave her leverage & connections in order to get her way. However in some cases, the spouses or family of the deceased (whoever has medical proxy) can decide if they want an autopsy performed or not. The police/investigators can try to overrule that decision with probable suspicion, but they would have to go through several judges and authorities.
