Officer pulls firearm, instead of taser

[Jsp10477]

So, shouldn't the folks who use the system help fund the system?

In all seriousness, if you are getting written for a tag light there are several things I can think of:

1) the officer thought the ticket was 'needed' to back up what else transpired during the stop, as in: he stopped you because you looked like a stoner and you had a tag light out, he smelled odor of MJ and his dog alerted, probably going to write you the tag light to tie everything togehter;

2) you talked yourself into the ticket;

3) you were ticketed by an officer who feels the best way to approach things and be fair is to issue cites to all he stops - some guys see things black and white like that;

4) you ran into an officer who is on a power trip - their are jerks that are doctors, pastors, cops, teachers, shoe store clerks and so on.....can't be helped;

5) you need to understand that, in particular traffic officers and Troopers have a job description that involves writing such citations, it literally is their job.

I’d be happy with a “pay for services” system. I call the cops, I’ll pay the bill. As it is, I’m being forced to pay taxes to fund a system I really don’t use.

1) never gotten a tag light ticket. I don’t look like a stoner. I don’t smoke weed. I posted the “price list” to show that it’s a revenue scheme.
2) that’s bull shit. If you’re gonna use that as a reason to pull someone over, write the ticket and move along.
3) that’s equal justice. It’s better than selective enforcement.
4) human nature. Only the officer can pull me over and write a ticket though.
5)proves my point that it’s revenue driven. Funny thing is, you never see the popo in Dixie Hills or the Bluff ticketing the homies rolling through stop signs. They’re in Virginia highlands, Vinings, Lenox, and cruising the frat lap around Chastain Park writing tickets. No money in the hood though. They’ll fail to pay or appear in court and end up with a warrant. That costs the city, no benefit.

I really want to see the articles on doctors, pastors, and shoe store clerks where they have went Hands-On with someone who refused their services.

Will be even better if the article has one of their co-workers show up and join in the fight to force the service to be rendered.

Now you are being obtuse. I don't believe Averageman was manhandled, were you?

You made the claim a cop on a power trip was the same as one in any other occupation. The only one that you listed that is similar is teachers.

Actually, I said there were jerks in all professions. Have you ever had a doctor 'talk down' to you as if you cant understand what he is saying? That would be an example.

And when they decide to be jerks their intended victims can walk away or tell them to shove off. If the jerk from another occupational group wishes to force the issue and attempts to detain their intended victim and gets force returned their victim isn't the one considered to be in the wrong. And others in their respective fields aren't going to show up and join in to assist their colleague in being a jerk either.

How about drawn and quartering? Too much?

You guys are leaving out impalements.

Shoot...a week in the stocks, while getting randomly barraged with rotten vegetables and slop would set most people straight.

Unfortunately not really. The slogans will all be the same for sure.

If you honestly cannot see the difference between a patrolman issuing a driver a traffic citation and multiple Federal tactical teams besieging Ruby Ridge then well I honestly don't know how you've made it this far. I mean you have a DL, file an income tax, register your vehicles, etc.?

The officers are just doing their jobs, doing this for the public safety, no respect for lawful authority, if they don't like it then fight it in court instead of fighting the officers, exigent circumstances apply, established law, the supreme Court said it was Constitutional, and similar.

So your saying in this case the driver did nothing wrong when he refused to cooperate for nearly ten minutes, then exits his vehicle, body slams the male officer, and proceeds to hammer fist his skull into the pavement all in the name of muh Don't Tread on Me?

Most, maybe all, of those slogans got used alongside the Weaver incident. Who got punished over that deal?

He exited the vehicle? Do you mean forcibly removed from the vehicle? Would be willing to bet that "exited the vehicle" is the kind of description of events that would coincide with a firearms confiscation also.

What I am saying is, that incident is worth it to everyone backing seatbelt laws just like income tax and anti 2nd Amendment laws. It is very similar in concept to a 4 year old lording it over a 2 year old and results are often similar as well.
