    Then maybe you should be rethinking your interactions overall.
    “An armed society is a polite society” is probably the biggest furphy ever perpetrated on the American public

    We have cars with heavily tinted windows too - have to in places like Longreach. So again what is the single most influential factor determining if the Police pull a gun when pulling over a driver? Hint our (in) famous gun restrictions

    Don’t get me wrong we have our “bad apples” and cops so crooked they could not lie straight in bed but the average cop is a decent hardworking person who are taught and practice de- escalation - doesn’t always work but they try

    INFAMOUS to anyone who values freedom. You live in a racist police/nanny state where police harass people for things like riding down the street on a bicycle without a mask. Maybe consider looking in the mirror - eh what?

    Here is how police operate down under.

    Police choke arrest woman.

    "I can’t breathe” were the notorious last words of George Floyd. But, did you know these same words were yelled 12 times by David Dungay Jr, a 26-year-old Dunghutti man from Kempsey, when he died in police custody 5 years ago?


    https://www.smh.com.au/national/it-...e-brutality-in-australia-20200603-p54z85.html
    The family of an Aboriginal man who died in custody says protests against police brutality in the US should be a wake-up call about the plight of Indigenous Australians in the justice system.


    https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/the-continuing-issue-of-police-brutality-in-australia/

    As reported in our previous blogs, there have been several instances of police brutality in Australia of late, with the number of fatal shootings by police increasing dramatically in recent years. But while American citizens have taken to the streets in thousands in protest against police brutality, it appears that Australians are far more reluctant to do so.

    My point is where did this all start. Refusal to comply as per usual.

    the military isn't a political tool to excuse dereliction of duty

    he dishonored the Army and this is backward

    they want to ban the second amendment instead of tinted windows.

    Why would an army officer stopped for no reason suddenly pull a gun and shoot a police officer? Is it because he's black?

    Driving off does not end an arrest or a prosecution.

    I never claimed they were perfect - simply that they do not pull guns unless there is a clear and present danger

    The Sergeant Major of the Army disagrees.

    "Like many of you, I was concerned by the video of LT Nazario’s traffic stop in December. He represented himself and our Army well through his calm, professional response to the situation – I’m very proud of him."

    They have banned heavily tinted windows in most states including where this video was made as mentioned by the officer in the beginning.

    No! It started when the cops pulled the guy over when he clearly had a temporary plate showing. And was escalated by the cops when they told the guy to get out of the car. Totally uncalled for. I hope these thug officers get what they deserve. Bad cops no donuts.

    It would be a fair argument/analysis that this all started with an improper and unnecessary stop by the cops. They would have contributed more to the peace by sitting in the donut shop eating donuts. Their actions did not serve the public.

    The army officer had a warrant out? Where did you read this?

    I am making a point. If you act like a child during a stop and decide not to comply, you get the consequences of your actions. Had he simply stepped out of the car, he wouldn't have been pepper sprayed or thrown on the ground.
    Every one of these situation start with the same problem. Non compliance. George Floyd, Michael Brown, and the list goes on and on.
