Rookie Cop Swiftly Fired After This Stop

I was walking to my car after work at a grocery store which was a popular parking lot for teenagers to hang around in. A friend drives by and stops and we start talking to formulate some plans for the rest of the night. About 30 seconds later a cop pulled up and gave us both loitering tickets despite the fact I was wearing the required white shirt, red tie, and name tag with with "Kroger" on it which obviously indicated I just got off work. Stopping to talk to someone in a parking lot just wasn't going to be tolerated. Another unintended consequence the cops created by doing that was it started sowing the seeds in a bunch of teenagers' minds that turned into not liking police. And cops wonder while they are not liked very much nowadays. Idiots...They've been actively working to gain peoples' ire for decades.

Parking at a pump while not getting gas is a fuck stick move period. The night person working is most likely told its unsafe and to ask people that do it to move their car or leave. This night person is probably also told to not leave the store unattended and if there are a bunch of people and someone is doing this to just call the police and have them tell that person to leave. The officers obviously did a horrible job in this instance as they should have just rolled up and said "You cant stay parked at a gas pump without getting gas or going into the store." If the dude asked why they should have just said the business doesn't allow it. If the dude continued to push one cop should have went inside and asked the worker if they'd like to trespass the dude or not and if so gone back out communicated this reality to the dude and went from there.

[@loki2240]

Unfortunately, lots of believe that, and lots of courts have agreed that law enforcement officers can place people in handcuffs "for officer safety" - even when there's no apparent indication that the person is a threat to assault anyone or flee and even when they're not being detained on suspicion of a violent crime or a felony. And of course, lots of innocent people have protested or questioned why they need to be handcuffed. And some officers have taken that as resistance and a threat, and they've used it to escalate to violence. And of course, some people have submitted to being handcuffed, and then one or more officers used it as an opportunity to assault a virtually defenseless person (overtly by kicking or hitting them, or subtly by bringing their knee(s) down on top of them with all of their weight). So of course, people who know about this mistreatment are more likely to object to being handcuffed for no reason, and then officers can escalate and the cycle continues.
