A good cop calls out the absolute bs that is mistaking your gun for a tazer. from r/facepalm

This was brilliant. I thought it wasn't so relevant to this thread, but actually most of it is @The Monk


What a contrast to:

the fuck?

driving to a well lit area just sounds like common sense especially with whats happening over there right now.

also, these two dipshits should never have been cops

lol ok, let us all know what happens next time you get pulled over and you go for a joyride looking for a properly lit area, its not like the cops dont have a million fkn lights on their cars to lights yours up with so they can see wtf they are dealing with. cuz its all about what you, the person getting pulled over, can see - not the cops doing their jobs wondering why this fuckin asshole isnt pulling over, what are we going to have to deal with this time.

how many times have we been over the "dont provoke/piss off the cops" thing here? not pulling over and deciding that you're just going to keep driving until you find an area where you're comfortable pulling over is provoking a bad response from the cop right from the getgo. its one thing if you're driving an extra hundred yards until the street lights begin, but every second you keep driving when a cop is behind you with their lights on, the likelihood of a bad cop response goes up significantly. are you disputing this or something

so in other words, a cop dealing with a suspect who is 99% likely to have just fired a weapon, that you're going after - should experience no fog of war whatsoever and stay 100% calm and proceeding meticulously as if time can be frozen

give it a rest, you lunatic If a cop gets worked up as easily as that then its a wise move not to stop somewhere dark.

just telling you how it is in the real world, mang...saying its perfectly reasonable to wait for a well lit area to pull over simply isnt well thought out advice in the least
