I never knew people went "I want to speak to your Sergeant" was a thing people did as an equivalent to "I want to speak to your manager" until I started watching these videos.
GOD DAMN i love a woman who actually knows how to put down authority. Gave me a little tingle when she started yelling 😂🥰
First stop: Wasnt asked to get out, however wasnt asked to stay in the car either. That's important.
Supreme Court has established dozens of times police have the right to order the driver out of the vehicle, or back into their vehicle during a traffic stop.
No such orders were given. Any arrest based on the fact he got out of the vehicle would be unlawful.
He was then 7:20 arrested despite these facts.
There was no point where he resisted arrest, as he was never told he was detained until he was moved 5-8 feet from the initial point of acquisition.
There was no point where he physically obstructed any government operation, as he did not resist.
He was not charged for running as the intro of the video implies.
He was arrested for, what seems like getting out of the car and recording, despite no orders to return to his vehicle before the arrest.
Many of you would have watched this; and because of the narrative framing from OP, thought the arrested person was a criminal. This is incorrect.
This is a perfect illustration of how *the way a piece of media can be demonstrated to somebody*, can be a narrative framing technique, which can obscure the facts through implied lenses, given by storytelling.
This channel in this moment is a perfect example of how, even in moments where we the public expect neutrality in reporting, instead we get what is obviously biased and curtailed content for a specific base of people, rather than all people, all stories, all facts, and all perspectives.
In short: an echochamber
.22s are cheap, but rope is reusable.
Who wants to guess he's a liberal?
The first guy was acting like an NPC from Ready or Not, whipping out a phone like that
Gotta frame that narrative by recording from a point well after you've F'd up and the officers are ticked off to no end. Gotta bash your head up so it looks like a "use of force" violation.
Those actions should be considered lying to police, at minumum, and should come with charges
Dude, kudos for the female officer's attitude!! That's how you treat stupid people!
Yo that cop in the first vid could slam me to the ground any time, I'd thank her 😅
That female officer was a QUEEN. I want all cops to be like her
There are lots of STUPID criminals out there. Put them in a cage.
Gramps oughta be tested too.
Once they say stop resisting that’s a charge 🥴

1st mistake. Not having your belt on (admittedly i dont have mine on a lot)
2nd mistake put your hazards on unnecessarily
3rd mistake dictate where you're gonna pull over
4th mistake get out when not commanded to (MAJOR mistake)
5th mistake do not obey lawful commands
6th mistake deny not having belt on
7th mistake request to speak to a sergeant
8th tell the sergeant "i wanna go home" somehow thinking it'd get him out of the PC and the cuffs.
Book him.
Drugs/Alcohol and or mental illness is a cocktail to make these videos happen
OMG!! I LOVE the first officers, they were spot on, fafo my man and then literally cry/whine about it, got your ass handed to you by a woman, that's your real issue, pmsfl!
FEMALE COP GOTA BE A MUM,TAKING NO BS
Good on the Sarg in the first one. He stood up for his officer and took no lip from that guy. Put him in his place, boom done.
I suspected the second dude was on meth the moment he said he was poisoned.
got caught with meth in his car and not got charge for it ……… man was high af !!!!!! got poisonned by the meth yeahh
The second guy helped me with an epiphany. I had wondered why a fella who did work for me seemed so paranoid, insisting that the government had put something in his body without his consent, yadda yadda, and he couldn't get a regular job. Now I know that he was failing the drug test. It was actually the poison he was putting into his own body that was causing him problems, and he was projecting it onto people outside of himself, so he could absolve himself of his own actions.
I remember my dad telling me how to handle a traffic stop when I was like, 12. Nobody had to tell me again lol
Popping out and immediately throwing your phone up is possibly the dumbest thing you can do
Sargent dont play that
I am LOVING that female officer!!!! Good job!!!!
Well the second guy was at least honest. He did in fact look like 💩. 😉
Methaniel needs to lay off the powder…
