When you are being pulled over you cant just drive a few miles to see if they stop lighting you up. And his actions when they asked him to get out was 100% he knowing what he was doing. He wasn’t scared

I disagree, on 460 in Windsor you have to look for safely lit areas. It’s 4 lanes with no shoulders.
In this case, He drove less than a mile with blinkers on and under the speed limit. That’s acknowledging police are behind him. Knowing the area that’s not unreasonable.
I wish the prosecutor luck proving the drivers intent in court. I highly doubt once someone has lit me up they are going to turn their lights off and fade.
This may be a suit the driver wins. Depends on what he’s contending.

I give police the benefit of the doubt in most cases but their reaction here was disproportionate to the situation. We need officers to be cool calm and collected, reasonable stewards of the trust put in them as armed protective servants. These guys resembled something more like half cocked cowboys.

Government officials deserve no benefit of the doubt.

Lol big shocker you can't lick the boots of these pigs fast enough. You've made it clear that there is nothing they can do that you would ever find wrong, and it's pretty clear you cheer on this s***.

Why was he pulled over?

When you answer thar question, then you can ask yourself if we live in a corrupt police state or if everything is just fine.

I think we are somewhere in between. We still have some officers with a complex that’s overly aggressive and step all over people’s natural rights to be left alone. On the other hand we have officers who are respectful, recognize others rights and only intervene when there’s an injured party.
90% of my interactions with police have been fine. I’ve stopped at accidents that happen in front of me and the police appreciated my intervention and triage. Once the scene is under control, I leave. Both tickets I’ve received in 25 years have been perfectly cordial.
I interact with police at work with prisoners. They even help me pull prisoners up in bed.
I get to see the human side. I definitely have a problem with those who act like robots, take steroids, act like God and trample on people’s rights. I still feel that’s a small percentage.

Basically people that support gun control and say "all cops are bad" are no different than people that say "blue lives matter" and say "come and take it". Who is going to enforce your gun control laws? Who is going to be the entity that comes to take your guns?

Didn't Ben & Jerry's get bought out by some corporate behemoth or hedge fund? Usually when that happens they cheapen products until they ruin them and put them out of business.
