...as disappointing as it is unsurprising.This video is from 2016. The cops were exonerated.

What in the actual fuck is this shitKinda on the police's side here because it absolutely should be against the law to carry a gun around. I mean it isn't, and the police were wrong, but lets change this law.
Yeah really, awful shit hereComical as fuck then you realize they're trying to fuck over someone's life.
...no? That's super naive to even think everything they said being recorded would stop them from doing just that...Anyway, thank goodness that this was recorded and so now these PoS can't play he said she said.
Can we for once expect more of trained law enforcement officers than some rando civilian?I mean, police are shitheads but so are open-carry fuckwits. No one looks good in this video.

Body cam footage has a tendency to get "lost" when it happens to incriminate officers, and even the ones that show officers blatantly going outside the law gets brushed offFeels like this was a pretty clear cut case of things after seeing the vid. Also, aren't officers in United Shtates of 'Murica required to wear body cams (and do they not have innate audio recording capability)?

"Required" sure in some states/counties, but they don't have to be on or functional. There are all manner of ways out of situations for them where the camera just happens to be not working when something it clearly should have recorded goes down.Feels like this was a pretty clear cut case of things after seeing the vid.

Look, I'm no fan of open-carry or the people who use such laws as an excuse to tote around weapons, but this has nearly nothing to do with that. They were looking to frame this dude and got off without any issue despite blatantly stating their intentions.Kinda on the police's side here because it absolutely should be against the law to carry a gun around.

Wait why is the video surfacing 3 years laterThis video is from 2016. The cops were exonerated.
Fuck everything.
Isn't it against the law to be on the highway walking? Not at all suggesting what the cops did after they stopped them was right, but walking on the highway is at least illegal here. Yes, the law should be changed. No one should be able to openly carry a gun anywhere in public. But the officers should have lost their jobs for what they did.Kinda on the police's side here because it absolutely should be against the law to carry a gun around.

Yup. Nailed it. And it runs deep.Smells like pure political bullshit and police officer union degeneracy.

If you're not familiar with these sorts of stories, the whole "there are no good cops" is good shorthand, but when you break it down further it's even darker than that. Any time a cop does speak out about this sort of shit or any racist stuff the police do, they're promptly transferred, threatened into silence on the matter, or just plain dropped from the force all together (usually through threats). This makes it almost unheard of these days to see any cop speaking out against this sort of thing, adding even more credence to the concept. You either are one of the horrible cops or you're a halfway decent cop who isn't doing anything to stop the horrible ones...
Rotten apple pies for everyone!!
that's not how barrels work. the saying is literally one bad apple spoils the barrel. at this point the only thing in that barrel is maggots and apple mush.
It's a two year old meme, get with the times old manI'm seeing this dumb shit more and more on Era. Will someone explain it please?
