      Now let your mind wander to how the scenario will play out when they pull over your teenage son or daughter.

      Conservatives are literally unable to feel empathy

        Conservatives can often learn to feel 1 specific form of empathy, but only after it personally affects someone in their life and only for that single issue.

      Don’t forget lucky that the officers didn’t start giving conflicting commands. Yelling “freeze” and “put your hands up” then shooting and later claiming “oh I thought he was reaching for a weapon, I feared for my life.”

        That reminds me of that murder of the homeless guy by those cops video that was circulating years ago.

          Makes me think of the shooting of Daniel Shaver. They kept yelling out commands that even a sober person couldn’t understand (Shaver was intoxicated during the incident).

      You mean he got lucky and didn’t receive conflicting orders like "keep your hands up and lay on the ground. " Your only option is to face plant, but the fast movement of doing that will scare the officers too.

        One of the most horrific things I’ve ever seen.

        Out of the other 10000 most horrific things I’ve seen done by cops.

      I wouldn’t recognize and ice vehicle, and I’d assume I’m about to be carjacked or worse.
