“I hope you’re ready to explain this law/policy to the families of cops who get killed by guns disguised as cel phones, fingers, penguins, etc. It’s practically an epidemic right now; it’s only gonna get worse if this kind of proposal goes through.”
I think the issue is that they put her what had to be an intensely traumatizing experience–I can’t even imagine the pain, and the very realistic possibility that she and/or her baby were going to die there cold and alone. And this went on for hours. To, after that, put her right back where the trauma occurred as quickly as medically feasible seems incredibly inhumane. This is a jail, not a prison: s he was arrested a month before the birth and does not appear to have been tried. We are very likely talking about someone being held because they can’t post bail.
She was put through a profoundly horrific experience at the hands of these people. Returning her to their hands seems . . .insane. Especially if she hasn’t even been convicted of a crime.
“Reasonable” is different from a knee-jerk reaction, which you may not recognize. Best of luck to you in working to overcome your intellectual deficits.
Are you sure that you are alright? Do you need to talk o someone about the stress that you are under in doing your part in supporting a fascist regime?
Of course, you being the fascist supporter that you are, would hope that those you disagree with would end up in prison (or dead), but sadly for your fragile insecurities, your fantasies did not come true.
OTOH, yes, I did make some friends while I was gone, thank you for asking.
How many of your friends discovered what a shitty person you are and want nothing more to do with you, or do you not have any left?
The guy filming is much more calm than the cop is, even though the cop is pointing a gun in his face the whole time. The cop tells him to shut the car off and also tells him not to move those hands – the guy filming rightly just keeps his hands in the air to avoid getting shot. Then, he gets arrested for not complying with a lawful order – which one? Don’t move those hands? Turn the car off? How could he do both? The cop tells the driver to get out of the car, but it’s still in drive – what’s he supposed to do?
At one point, the cop yells “Gun!” as though the gun were putting him in danger. However, it was in the back seat, lawful, and registered to the driver. And, you can open carry in Arkansas without a permit anyway, so why is the cop surprised to see a gun?
It really looked like he was itching to shoot that driver, but admittedly, that’s my own editorial slant.
People have said it before here, but it seems like civilians are expected to treat cops like they are wild animals – move slowly, take all responsibility for de-escalating. That’s just what this driver did, of course. Smart man! That may be why he’s still alive.
So, who is going to defend the behavior of this cop?
