What seems so ironic to me about Chauvin is that there was a supposed historical French soldier who was so passionately patriotic that /1
he was awarded by Napoleon for being wounded 17 times in battle, but still serving out of a blind and unthinking loyalty. He’s the source /2
of the term “chauvinist” which is used to describe a bigoted, hatefully patriotic person. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Chauvin /3

Nope. The pouch hanging on air vent fell and as the suspect reached to grab it I had to pump him full of lead, even though I saw it drop and

Because everyone is out to just that. Look at all the hate just from this post. You think one of them is not willing to take a shot.
Look up at video of police shootings, not the one sided shit the media wants you to see, look at their bodycam footage and ask yourself
Would you had done it different and how.... Ever had a situation where you almost died?.. think of what you felt that moment now.
And this training resulted in how many wrongful deaths because they THOUGHT the person was reaching but wasn’t? The hate for cops is /1

cAPTNcAPSLOCK
Yes, but no. The thought alone that "everybody has to be doing their best..." shows that there is a fundamental problem.
Yeah the fundamental problem is guns are so available that cops will treat you as armed because they want to go home at the end of the day.

Much easier than enforcing restraint on the police. I mean they literally HAVE to be able to murder at will or they can't do their jobs!
HisDudness
And yet there's this wild concept of 'escalation of force' taught in any basic firearms course which they don't seem to understand.
TyrionLannisterTheImp
It was my understanding most LEOs in the US don't attend those courses, or if they do, it's only once in their career.
They'd rather go see the guy who tells them they're a predator who should be ready to kill at all times and sex is amazing after a kill.
He's trained the vast majority of US law enforcement. Your tax dollars hard at work.
So then why is the police force trained less than a fourteen-year-old kid who just wants to go hunting with his pops?
SirBonSama
Because the police union and the thin blue line refuses to have any punishment for the bad apples... ruining the whole bunch.
There's also the course where they teach you that the best sex you'll ever have is after you kill someone. Sadly I am not joking.
That sounds like something a sociopath would say.
That's not even the scariest shit he teaches. Search Dave Grossman, he's trying too hard to live up to his name, but I'd say he overdid it.
theangryjanitor
Do you want to live?
A1J1K1
By this reasoning it should be perfectly acceptable for me to shoot any cop that rest their hand on their gun as they walk up.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
It shouldn't be a choice like that. Other countries deal with the problem without shooting innocent people just fine.
Yes, that's why I don't live in Minnesota, or anywhere the police can kill for no valid reason without repercussions.

That's crap. I'm a white man and even I was taught car off, hands on the wheel, interior lights on, ask permission before grabbing anything
4 times in 25 years, and I have a protocol. Do I need to drive safer, or, and this is more likely, are you a prick?
Nah man, I almost never do. My step dad was a cop, I was trained as a cop in the Navy though I had a drastically different job
Wouldn't it be better to lay spread eagled on the tarmac pleading not to get shot?
Nooooope.
Why? You clearly pose no danger.

In the States they'll shoot you for getting out of the car. That's even scarier for them than you sitting there menacingly.
xxPaulCPxx
Yup. Last time I did that the cop had his hand on his gun ready to draw and was raising his voice to tell me to stay in the car.
Do. I'm going to lean over and use my right hand to open the glove box etc all the way through the traffic stop
When I open the glove box, I put my hand back on the wheel and then ask them if it's OK for me to reach into the glove compartment. Slowly.

Yes. Yes, we do.
Traffic stops are how most cops die. Not defending them, but caution on both ends is reasonably warranted.

Garbage men are more likely to die on the job than cops, their job isn’t as deadly as they make it seem
RogerTwoThree
Bullshit.
In researching it more I've come to find it's definitely not "most" and shouldn't have made that claim. Still not an insignificant portion.
doombabies
Taxi drivers have a higher chance of dying on the job than a cop. The highest cause of death for cops pre-covid was suicide.
Frederf
Old age after retirement is. Don't lie.
Ah damn you got me. That is definitely an on-the-job danger for cops.
HolyIsis
Covid is how most cops die nowadays and I don't see them being that cautious about it.
Every cop I've seen in person has been masked up, but I suppose it's ultimately a regional thing on that front.
Deadmanwalkn
Statistically, they're in much more danger from themselves. Eating themselves to death, suicide, and car accidents are the leading causes

I did the first time I got pulled over, just because I didn't really know what to do. Also in Aus
Yeah but the reason you don't get out of your car is cause you are afraid of the wildlife. Not everything is out to kill us here in the US.
Just the Republicans.

You would rather force the police to assume you aren't planning on killing them and they're only recourse is to shoot you? That's lazy /s
lopsidedqueen
Well…. Only if you’re black
lelk
You can make a paper copy of your driver’s license to keep in your car. I do that in case I lose or have my wallet stolen.
Jatenffxiv
A "solution" to a problem that should not exist.
doubleTbone07
No it's ok, it's only if you're black
ThrownClub
Maybe we should ban traffic stops
ArandomDane
That this would most likely save lives in the US should make you stop and think....
HeraldOfTheBadger
You could just ticket by license plate to the owner ... Unless it's stolen then that would extra suck
SenfinaZeit
How will police make their slush funds if they can't make money illegally ticketing people?
SatanicSpirals
Carjackings just got way more profitable. Identity and a car!
CelestialSea
Much easier than enforcing restraint on the police. I mean they literally HAVE to be able to murder at will or they can't do their jobs!
HisDudness
And yet there's this wild concept of 'escalation of force' taught in any basic firearms course which they don't seem to understand.
TyrionLannisterTheImp
It was my understanding most LEOs in the US don't attend those courses, or if they do, it's only once in their career.
CelestialSea
They'd rather go see the guy who tells them they're a predator who should be ready to kill at all times and sex is amazing after a kill.
CelestialSea
He's trained the vast majority of US law enforcement. Your tax dollars hard at work.
HisDudness
So then why is the police force trained less than a fourteen-year-old kid who just wants to go hunting with his pops?
SirBonSama
Because the police union and the thin blue line refuses to have any punishment for the bad apples... ruining the whole bunch.
CelestialSea
There's also the course where they teach you that the best sex you'll ever have is after you kill someone. Sadly I am not joking.
HisDudness
That sounds like something a sociopath would say.
CelestialSea
That's not even the scariest shit he teaches. Search Dave Grossman, he's trying too hard to live up to his name, but I'd say he overdid it.
theangryjanitor
Do you want to live?
A1J1K1
By this reasoning it should be perfectly acceptable for me to shoot any cop that rest their hand on their gun as they walk up.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
It shouldn't be a choice like that. Other countries deal with the problem without shooting innocent people just fine.
CelestialSea
Yes, that's why I don't live in Minnesota, or anywhere the police can kill for no valid reason without repercussions.
SamStrelitz
Where aren't police allowed to kill people?
IronMansRightHand

vicvalour
Most 1st world counties
CelestialSea
Read it again, out loud if you have to, and you'll see your question doesn't even make sense. Keep reading after the part you were triggered
HisDudness
I myself am still looking for the triggering part. Is it where they make the dumbass conclusion that the problem isn't nation-wide?
ThisIsGerbilReportingLiveFromRichardGeresAss
Yes and laugh, love lol

Fucking hell. Being from the UK I just cannot wrap my head around this shit.
What3Birds
Yeah, I've been pulled over 3x in 25 years.. no weapon, once speeding and twice cause the cop was pointing out something that needed fixing
PoppinLochNessHopster
I cannot wrap my head around how much surveillance you guys are under. It's like V for Vendetta over there.
GeForcen
I'm from England, I have never even thought about it or even really noticed. I have also never been shot for driving or being black.
DietCokeIsTheBest
Oh nooooo…someone can see me walking in a public place…
What3Birds
Eh... No and yes, city centres yes (I've been in control rooms) but there's been terrorist attacks in UK since before CCTV.. that's the goal
What3Birds
The use of state controlled CCTV for aggressive enforcement is non-existant.. it's mostly traffic routing and civil security
What3Birds
(monitoring events for crowd safety etc)
BigDaddysMeatWagon
We are too, buddy. I promise.
PoppinLochNessHopster
Not even slightly close. I don't think you know how the UK does it. Unless you're out in the woods you're on camera.
cheesecutter
I’d rather be shot by camera…
PoppinLochNessHopster
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Assholefullofelbows
My standard protocol. Keys out of the ignition placed on the roof of the vehicle, hands 10&2, I dictate out loud exactly what I'm going to1/
pfshfine
And dome light on if it's night time
MBdub210
Are you a person of color, @OP?
iwrotethisonthetoilet
TIA… this is America
roscophish77
Same, except I don’t do the thing with the keys. I sit completely still at 10&2 until they are at the window & then dictate the whole time
sadurdaynight
I ride motorcycles. What I do is stay straddled on bike, but remove helmet & gloves & keys from ignition to show I'm not a flight risk. 1/
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
what the fuck is wrong with america? Flight risk? at a routine traffic stop?
sadurdaynight
Had bad dealings with cops. My motto is "it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I can't afford to trust you."
sadurdaynight
By staying straddled on bike, it makes it clear I'm also not a risk for running./
MrSaturday
Last time I stopped for a cop on my bike they kicked me over. I then learned to just ride off the road.
pangolinx
I was taught this as a middle class suburban white boy. 23 years later I would do it as a 40 yo white lawyer. *That doesn't make it ok.*
crazyspelling
Dittoooooo
lurksohardmotherfuckerswannafindme
Keys on the dash if it’s a statie. Car off and left in if it’s a local. I don’t need them grabbing my keys cause they feel like it.
lurksohardmotherfuckerswannafindme
Other than that…same.
hotrodny
Make a hook inside the car, visible but showing to be hard to reach for you.
YourIceCreamMan
I have a metal wallet. "Office I want you to feel safe- please shine your light on my right pocket- I'm removing a black metal wallet"
Erythrotrichophile
I have a black metal wallet too...and I never considered this. You might have just saved my life.
ohfudgecicles
Realizing now how many times I could've been shot for how much I start rummaging immediately when pulled over.
BlackCatCasper
I love freedom
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
the freedom to feel threatened by a routine traffic stop. I love the US from afar. You can't make this shit up.
Mombeater
If you get pulled over so much you have a standard protocol, maybe you should just start driving safer.
atrielienz
Ah. The privilege talking.
atrielienz
Literally taught this by my parents. Literally taught this to my kid.
Scorch052
I mean this is what almost every cop would prefer ppl do. Even beyond "omg don't shoot me" logic, it'll make the interaction easier.
PhilthyCasual
Where are you from that you don’t worry, mister Judgement McHorriblename?
CAAFlo
That's crap. I'm a white man and even I was taught car off, hands on the wheel, interior lights on, ask permission before grabbing anything
crazyspelling
4 times in 25 years, and I have a protocol. Do I need to drive safer, or, and this is more likely, are you a prick?
Assholefullofelbows
Nah man, I almost never do. My step dad was a cop, I was trained as a cop in the Navy though I had a drastically different job
Hammerwell
Wouldn't it be better to lay spread eagled on the tarmac pleading not to get shot?
crazyspelling
Nooooope.
Hammerwell
Why? You clearly pose no danger.
CabooseNomerson
You’re just making it easier for them to shoot you in the back or suffocate you if you do that. They don’t have morals like most people do.

There was a caretaker of an autistic man who was explaining loudly and clearly that he didn't have a gun, posed no threat, and he was the

caretaker of the autistic man, who had been playing with a toy truck. The caretaker was laying on his back, arms straight to the sky
ChristopherHallett
As a whitey in Australia I shut off the engine and get out of the car.
IdaSpear
Same in New Zealand. Upon alighting the vehicle, I get out and spread my arms apart from my sides and say, "what the fuck?"
FamousOnce
My partner's cuzzy is a cop - we did exactly this when he pulled us over (In my car so didn't recognise us)
ChiliBeef
HisDudness
In the States they'll shoot you for getting out of the car. That's even scarier for them than you sitting there menacingly.
xxPaulCPxx
Yup. Last time I did that the cop had his hand on his gun ready to draw and was raising his voice to tell me to stay in the car.
Assholefullofelbows
Do. I'm going to lean over and use my right hand to open the glove box etc all the way through the traffic stop
xxPaulCPxx
When I open the glove box, I put my hand back on the wheel and then ask them if it's OK for me to reach into the glove compartment. Slowly.
dea5252
And still alive to tell the story.
waitwhat1234
I'm sorry you have to do this to survive a traffic stop
BallsGoBounceBounceBounce
And pray to god my tourettes doesn't kick in
KingXizor
I am reaching into the glovebox for FUCKSHITPIG
GayCanadianJew
Don’t you think it’s kind of sad that you have to put in a whole performance to help the cache of you not getting shot for no reason?
LordOfThePenguin
Yes. Yes, we do.
Scorch052
Traffic stops are how most cops die. Not defending them, but caution on both ends is reasonably warranted.
deadman320
...and being ready to shoot someone dead cuz u chose to have power over safety doesnt mean i should fear for my life over a bad blinker
wtforero
Garbage men are more likely to die on the job than cops, their job isn’t as deadly as they make it seem
RogerTwoThree
Bullshit.
Scorch052
In researching it more I've come to find it's definitely not "most" and shouldn't have made that claim. Still not an insignificant portion.
doombabies
Taxi drivers have a higher chance of dying on the job than a cop. The highest cause of death for cops pre-covid was suicide.
Frederf
Old age after retirement is. Don't lie.
Scorch052
Ah damn you got me. That is definitely an on-the-job danger for cops.
HolyIsis
Covid is how most cops die nowadays and I don't see them being that cautious about it.
Scorch052
Every cop I've seen in person has been masked up, but I suppose it's ultimately a regional thing on that front.
Deadmanwalkn
Statistically, they're in much more danger from themselves. Eating themselves to death, suicide, and car accidents are the leading causes
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
Shooting themselves, each other, etc
Scorch052

I'm white, a CO, and a veteran. I get out of the car, and start up a conversation with the cop. Usually ask him if I'll be getting...
Wookieoo7
Im an Aussie but I haven’t yet seen a case where the police are fine with anyone getting out of their car until asked. Hell pretty sure it
3006mv
Yeah but he’s white
icarusbird02
Think you missed the joke...you silly c-word.
Wookieoo7
Doesn’t even fly here in Australia to get out before asked to
Lvaneede
I did the first time I got pulled over, just because I didn't really know what to do. Also in Aus
caledric
Yeah but the reason you don't get out of your car is cause you are afraid of the wildlife. Not everything is out to kill us here in the US.
caledric
Just the Republicans.
Cashgrinder
And the cops
caledric
any new inmates to watch over that he is personally aware of.
Assholefullofelbows
Can't do that here unless you know they've already run a 28/29. The cops till straight get outta the car guns out
caledric
You must not be white then.
Assholefullofelbows
Does it matter?
ChainmailleAddict
Dude, getting out of the car is NOT AN AMERICAN THING. They come to you, if you get out they're on high alert and ready to chase here.
