  1. We the people, as a whole, are sovereign.

  2. These are Kamala's people.

  3. ​@huma474 Yes, law enforcement favoring certain places to protect when they are paid by taxes is very appropriate.

  4. The job of law enforcement isn't to teach lessons to people, it's to enforce the law.

  5.  @txrick4879  Two of my cousins work at the border, it is wide open. 13 million people have crossed since Biden took office. That's more than the individual populations of 47 states.

  6.  @ralphwiggum6385  That doesn't make any sense. Are you saying that professional law enforcement would engage in illegal activity if they didn't have body worn cameras?

  7. I drove drunk once. Never again. I was so thankful that I didn't hurt or kill someone.

  8. ​ connardcyndi1769 A tax refund is not disbursing a payment, it's returning money that it is not entitled to have.

  9. ​ @chaliwen7217 We should all just stop paying taxes. The tax code was passed to pay bankers.

  10. Agreed. They were very professional, quite rare in law enforcement these days. The trooper has the patience of a saint.

  11. ​ @dubaiedge Well, they make about $250K/year, so not too bad for riding around and violating people's rights.

  12.  @PennelopeWhitmore  We have freely chosen to not be free. People took freedom for granted, didn't pay attention, and allowed tyranny to creep. Had we paid attention and participated in our own governance, we'd still have many of our freedoms. That being said, we still have a lot of freedom in this country, but remaining ignorant and silent will only serve to witness those remaining freedoms dwindle. Remember, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

  13.  @bendarling5573  I'm speaking generally, not specifically to this video. I think the police mostly did well in this instance. Look up the Karen Garner and Lisa Edwards arrests to know what I'm talking about. Two examples of literally thousand I can show you.

  14. ​ @Yosser70 If they can't remain professional, they shouldn't be in law enforcement. I've seen plenty of stressful encounters where the police remain professional.

  15. ​ @TheOhbenni  No. If he was black, the cop would have to bow down and kiss his shoes for BLM or slavery or something like that.
    8
  16. ​ @Tsiri09 Yes, but had he wisely invested those under the table funds, he would have been much better off than relying on the government.

  17.  @hashslingingslabber859  Because the vast majority of citizens willingly surrender their rights, because they don't know them. If every citizen were to fully exercise their rights at every encounter, excessive force complains would rise exponentially. And let's not forget that most cases of police misconduct are not reported and smaller police departments tend to not investigate their fellow officers. The numbers at face value would seem to show gross misconduct is not a major problem, but when you dig into the details and look under the hood, you'll see very serious issues.

  18.  @salar1586  Probably. That's why body cameras are good.

  19.  @bendarling5573  Your assumption that I resent the rule of law is simply unfounded.

  20.  @hashslingingslabber859  I'm trying to respond to your post, but it's either delayed or YT is censoring it. Your numbers are correct, but there are critical factors you're missing. Just as an aside, police are civilians as well. By claiming they are not civilians, you're essentially saying that police live by a different set of laws...they are not supposed to.

  21.  @hashslingingslabber859  There is no such thing as "gun violence." Guns are not violent, people are.

  22. Why?
    4
  23.  @hashslingingslabber859  You should do some more research...I've been doing research for much longer and just finished writing a book on this very topic. If you're ever pulled over, do an experiment. Exercise your rights to their fullest extent and see what happens. State your fifth amendment rights and answer zero question, don't physically hand over your ID (present it only, if you're in a state which doesn't require you to hand it to the officer), roll down your window only far enough to engage in the business at hand, don't consent to any searches, etc.

  24. ​ @artsie8282 She doesn't have to leave, that's the issue. He doesn't have that authority.
    4
  25. ​ @ktreolo Not really. Arresting people for verbally challenging law enforcement is an unlawful arrest.
    4
  26.  @zigwil153  How is that not clear? When a cop committs a crime, shouldn't equal justice be served on them as well?
    3
  27.  @GoingNorthObv  When they get tired of people's s*** and start acting like jerks, it's time for them to retire or find a new job. Law enforcement is supposed to remain professional; playing the role of mother and father is not why the people allowed them to have authority. They are also not permitted to act in the capacities of judge and jury.

  28. I remember that kid who made the cops look like clowns when he recovered every PIT they tried.

  29.  @txrick4879  The vast majority do not have valid asylum claims.

  30. Yes, they are very professional. /s

  31.  @YungScuffed  Interference is a physical act. He told her to "leave," which she had no obligation to do. It's not jaywalking when there is no intersection within a reasonable walking distance.
    3
  32.  @SooSmokie  No, that's simply not true. Police are not permitted to do whatever they want. Sorry.
    3
  33.  @SooSmokie  Look up Houston v Hill (1987). I know the law, you don't.
    3
  34.  @SooSmokie  Houston v Hill. Read it, learn it, know it.
    3
  35.  @e-4051  Speech is not obstructing or impeding. Watching the stop is also not obstructing. I'm getting my information from SCOTUS case law and state statute.
    3
  36.  @e-4051  City of Houston v Hill. She only walked across the street, she did not obstruct or impede him from doing his lawful duty.....his comfort does not supersede her right. She is permitted to use her speech to challenge the police, that's one of the rights which separates the US from a polite state.

  37. That was an unlawful arrest. The cop arrested her for being on public property and talking to her son.

  38. It's the Constitutional right of free people to challenge and verbally confront law enforcement.

  39.  @dianeroeder3350  Like, I can say Eff Yoo and flip a cop the bird, that's all protected speech.

  40. Should police be held accountable for their criminal actions as well?
    2
  41.  @ravendevino6419  Because police are rarely held accountable when they commit criminal acts.

  42.  @ravendevino6419  Whataboutism is a term used to deflect from a debate opponent pointing out hypocrisy. It's a fallacious argument.
    2
  43. Yep. Pretty much. Police ego and emotion override their objectivity.
    2
  44.  @theartanthologist7794  Yes. Both the mother and the cop were in the wrong.

  45. Violent crime isn't declining, it's just not being reported.

  46.  @hashslingingslabber859  Ever heard of "street cop training"? If not, you should take a look at how cops are taught to view and treat citizens.
    2
  47.  @hashslingingslabber859  No, it does need to be pointed out, because there's a non-trivial psychological effect from the words that we use. The correct way to phrase it would be "police to public interactions." While I may not be a statistician, my training in theoretical physics has provided the skills necessary to effectively research data.

  48. Why "especially on cops"? Are private citizens less valuable than police.
    2
  49.  @user-peach408  But you'll vote for a DA who drops charges for battery on a free, law abiding, US citizen?

  50.  @PennelopeWhitmore  I'm not talking about national sovereignty as it pertains to borders, because in that respect, I agree with you.
