“When Nazario told the officers he waited to pull over until he could get to a well-lit area, Gutierrez said that was “reasonable,” the claim states. The officer also said it “happens all the time” and that “80% of the time it is a minority” who waits to get to a lit area.” Who could blame a minority person for wanting any interaction with law enforcement to be in a well lit environment. Of course any attempts to do so results in an apparent attempt to flee. There is no way to win.
I just don't understand not trying to defuse the situation (which wasn't out of control to begin with) and have a conversation with the person. Like the Reinohel shooting on the previous page That's not a mentally well person that does that.
Because what else can you do if someone's property might be in jeopardy but murder the possible offender.
"You're about to ride the lighting!" Yea let me jump out this car when you have your gun pointed at me. Some of these cops are fucking idiots. If you want someone to comply, don't be a complete dickhead and make the person scared of you.
Waiting for the car industry to adapt their seat belts to have the buckle at the top so minorities can safely unbuckle themselves without worry of being shot for “reaching for a weapon”
Back in the 80s they had the auto ones that slid in place when the door was close and then opened up so you could get out. I assume they weren't safe and that's why they went away.
there was from an article regarding auto chest belts “This would draw the belt across the chest of the passenger. It was still the duty of the passenger, though, to secure the lap belt. ”
Of course the reply’s are filled with white people saying “why didn’t he just listen and get out” GTFO of here.
Of course many of those people probably refuse to wear mask and think guns are necessary in order to fight government oppression.
Unfortunately it seems like that's something that gets retweeted a lot. It's a police car trying to slow traffic down intentionally because someone ahead is removing debris.
And what are the chances that Gutierrez has a less than stellar military record and might hold a grudge against guys still serving?
These are always handy for the “if you follow the law you don’t have anything to worry about...” crowd
Lots of different info out there but all I know is having a warrant isn't reason enough to kill someone. Shits exhausting and I'm white. Can't even imagine what it must feel like.
