How does having your headlights off on a cloudy day justify forcing a motorist out of their vehicle?
Yeah, because they were still in their car when they decided to arrest him for no reason.
Prior events shouldn't matter. There's zero cause to punch a suspect that isn't an immediate threat.
Someone grab the Family Guy meme so we can show how much of a threat he was.
I feel we need to update it though. Like at top should be " He was a great father and loved god!"
The bottom should be "STOP RESISTING AND PUT THE GUN DOWN!"
Well, you see, it was a combination of him being black.
This is why cops in my region have body cams; and "my cam wasn't on" or "my cam broke at just the right time" is a very bad look.
But they don't use it to make sure they don't mess up: they're using it to show they did everything right, so someone was advised of their rights, the state of everything is known, etc.
But, not in America. American Cops Are (I'm guessing) Bastards.
Body/Dash cams not being on/conveniently blocked/pointed the wrong way should be criminal offenses warranting at least 5 years in prison.
because there is zero reason to play games with body/dash cams unless you are planning to do something malicious you dont want evidence of.
