Cop Shoots teen 16 times

How are you so sure there was nothing within 500 feet that his highs couldve obstructed? Flashing highs to a cop is also a sign of distress.

How are you so sure there was nothing within 500 feet that his highs couldve obstructed? Flashing highs to a cop is also a sign of distress.

Are you not reading what is being typed? The law in Michigan states it's illegal to flash the high beams at less than 500 feet. He had three people flash him before the kid did.

Reasonable cop: "Is there an emergency?"

Reasonable Driver: "I was flashing you because your high beams were on and I couldn't see."

Reasonable cop: "Yeah man, my bad. It's a new vehicle and the lights are so bright they look like high beams. You're the fourth person to flash me tonight so I'll make sure someone looks into getting these lights straight. Have a good one."

Reasonable Driver: "Thanks Officer."

That's all that needed to be done yet you want to ignore the important shit and go straight into the kid not complying which is something no one here has said he had a right to do. So why don't we focus on an ADULT not having the mental prowess to diffuse a harmless situation?

the part your missing is "license and registration?" will be asked regardless. Then what will happen in this specific situation? The exact same thing. Cause this kid was on one & without a license. Im not arguing it couldve been handled better on both ends. Like I originally said I dont think the cop had the right/shoudlve opened his door to begin with and absolutely could've went about it better. I think he just called for back up or something right before that anyways. So what are we debating about here? The cop didnt start swinging first. And was about to detain him. And side note the cop didnt know how old this dude was cause he didnt provide anything so its just another citizen.

License and registration will be asked regardless? DJ Coma made it as clear as day. I did so multiple times. Why even ask for license and registration when you already know why you're being flashed? So far this question has been asked multiple times but you've yet to answer it. You still want to focus on the kid not complying with the cop and swinging on him. Before we can do that we need to do the reasonable person test again.

Is it reasonable to keep pulling people over because they flashed their lights when you know the reason why they're doing it?

A yes or no will suffice.

And I say again, if there was an adjcacent highway/other drivers in the area that could be effected by highs being flashed (possibly repeatedly since you cant say how many times the kid hit him with the highs) then yes, it is.

Cops have a quota to fill.

If your giving them an easy excuse to pull you over and fish for something then thats on you.

Does this suffice ^ Or are we gonna keep running in circles?
if you can honestly tell me a time you got pulled over and not i.d.ed id be fuckin shocked.

Cops take opportunitys when you get pulled over to fish for any and everything. Do i think thats cool? hell no. but im not stupid enough to high beam a cop/ not give my license or at least be upfront why I dont have it if im getting pulled over like that.

What part of how many times he flashed is irrelevant? What part of an adjacent highway not being important do you not understand? What part of the kid was the fourth driver who flashed him do you not understand?



Quotas are illegal.



Again, four people (the kid included) flashed the cop.



We aren't running in circles but you are. Several people here are calling you out for what you've typed. No one is calling me out. I "get it." I recall two times where a cop pulled me over and didn't even worry about license or any of that shit. In both instances they did it to tell me my brake light was out.



But according to you it's reasonable to keep pulling people over for flashing you when you already know the reason why...

You and dj coma are two people.

And btw id never trip on what anyone says off this site. Well then you must be from one nice neighborhood. Cause ive lived in multiple areas and errytime u get pulled over you get i.d.ed.

Cops gotta know who there dealing with if you have anything on you. I can tell your from a nice upbringing cause you believe a guy high on drugs walking down a public road should be left alone (read first page).

I also notice you went back and edited multiple of your posts. wont catch me doing that.

I already explained man, if you give a cop a reason to , you will get pulled over and they will try and find a reason to get you for something.

But I guess you live in a place where cops are actually there to serve .

You asked if being flashed a 4th time is just cause to pull him over- im saying yes it is

if everything/anything I just said above is cause for concern adjacent highway/multiple flashes/ any cars on road within 500ft. I repeat, cops fish for a reason to pull you over. Him flashing the cop, cop now can pull him over. Do you get it yet?

I hope your learning something.. and check your facts on quoatas resonable test Ducey Vetoes Ban on Police Ticket Quotas | Phoenix New Times

The cop mentions that he knew why the kid flashed him, and he flashed his brights at the kid before pulling him over, and that people had been flashing him all that night.

The kid came off as a bit aggressive, yeah. He watched a few "am I being detained" videos, and the situation might have been different if he didn't have that attitude.

Same can be said for the cops attitude to the kid, tho.

Kid legitimately thought that the cop had no right to arrest him, and when the cop threw his phone away, probably was scared because now there's no evidence of the already aggressive police officer.

There's a video floating around the internet that shows the kid in a fight with another kid a few days before the incident occurred. Shows he's violent, right? I watched the video and both kids looked like they couldn't throw a punch and both came out of the fight without any marks on them. Makes me surprised that the cop got beat up so bad in such a small period of time. Kind of funny how the cop left before any paramedics arrived on the scene, too.

I saw a vid of the cop in the back of an ambulance. Don't know if it was at the station or on the scene. I also heard the audio portion of the rest of the encounter. You don't really hear anything until the shots are fired. No struggle or anything so they must have moved away but then the shots are heard and after that all you hear are sirens a minute or two later.

And I'll tell anyone, to NOT do the "Am I being detained" stuff because you should first know what you're talking about. Like the idiots who say, "I plead the fifth" when talking to a cop. Dummy, the fifth applies to testimony yet you hear these idiots saying it over and over.

I read an article that said he left with another cop before receiving any medical attention. All the pics I can find are from after the fact, in a hospital. The struggle was short, the kid must've been a fast and powerful fighter to fuck up the cops face like that tho.

DJ Coma and I weren't the only one who directed something your way or made a post derived from your post. Go back and read again.



One nice neighborhood? How does a cop not asking me for ID mean I'm from a nice neighborhood? Breh do you see how foolish you sound?



You can tell I am from a nice upbringing? Because I'm thinking and using my brain? Shit. What has the world come to?



I edit for typos. Which is something you should be doing so I don't know why you would pride yourself in not doing that. And there are no content changes as all replies are also contained in the email. So if there is ANY issue, it can be pulled up so miss me with that shit, breh.



This has nothing to do with what you're asked.



I grew up in North Vallejo. I've also lived in Camden NJ and San Diego. What else do you need to know?



That's not what I asked. Why are you trying to put words in my mouth? R-E-A-D what was typed and simply go from there.



Who said that the cop COULDN'T pull him over? Are you high man? Seriously. I'm asking because you didn't hardly make sense before but now you are really going in circles, lol.



Have you even read what you quoted? LMAO! It doesn't seem like it. Read it again.

And here are instances of what happens when you do a quota system:
