Throughout the thread you have shown you don't understand how radar guns work, you don't understand many traffic laws, and then try to set up a manipulative straw man by saying I won't answer your question therefore I am to be dismissed. Why did he lie? Why does it matter? He knew the camera was on and recorded everything.
I'm all for "standing up against the man" when it matters and when it makes a difference. "Standing up against the man" at a traffic stop, in my humble opinion, is a useless exercise in futility and doesn't change a damn thing. Or, as I like to put it--he's pole vaulting over mouse shit and paid the price for it. |
Massey is a young man. Who knows all these obscure laws? He didn't want to get a ticket for something he didn't do. He wasn't being all that abrasive. He was asking questions. Why would cops be so eager to imprison a guy for something fairly minor in reality. The cop was totally over-reacting, and was the one pole-vaulting over mouse shit. I think that those two young people were treated very disrespectfully, and this is what gives cops a bad name. I can't imagine the stress that poor wife was going through. I think they should sue for abuse.
Massey wasn't standing up to the man, he had a legitimate question. The cop ignored him, and drew that taser way too fast. The taser looked like a gun. I'd be scared shitless if that happened to me. How did Massey know if the cop had all his marbles. He didn't act like it.
