Coffey Anderson's "What To Do When You Get Pulled Over" viral video

[DigitalDrifter]

One of the police officers killed in Dallas was a veteran from Iraq or Afghanistan. Multiple terms of duty. He survives it just to come back and get killed in Dallas over race. What's wrong with us????

And it's doubly sad that a fellow war vet killed him. Just because he was white.

Exactly.

Many stops/calls involve someone who does not want to go back to jail. They are carrying illegal gun or driving illegally etc. But the best idea they can come uo with, resist or shoot or reach for weapon? Those facing long sentence are a huge problem.

They have no one to blame for their past behavior but themselves.

I was stopped by a police officer and when she came to my window, I knew she would want to see my license. Problem was, that I had just come from walking in the park and had my license loose in my hand. And, it fell out of my hand between the the seat and the center piece. I started to reach down to try and retrieve it when she yelled for me to freeze! Whoa! I was shocked and immediately stopped and put my hands out for her to see them, and explained what I was doing.

She said not to move again and asked my name and address. I told her and she went to her car to call for my information. While she was gone, I attempted to get the license and finally was successful. I showed it to her so she could see I was telling the truth, but she wasn't impressed.

All went well after that, I got a warning for old tags but I saw how not following instructions could cause a life or death altercation. I never realized how "on the edge" officers have to be. It just takes seconds to be looking down the barrel...for both sides, the officer and me. I was a white older lady, but that didn't change anything...I was still a threat.

I told her that I didn't envy her the job she has and to stay safe. Today, that is hard.

It's not just lately. Police officers have always been trained to be in total control of an interaction with the public at all times.

Is that wrong? What happens when they are not in control?

Wrong? I don't understand...
To answer your preposterous question, they use their powers of persuasion and experience to GAIN control. Jeez....Have used a foreign language here?

^^^^ I'm not digging it up 1/2. U prove it worng. Cops job is horrible. Traffic stop or called for whatever. Whos' packing? Whos carrying dope? Who's on probation parole suspended revoked? They must assume each call......the bastard may try to kill them and run. If it 1/10 it may as well be 100%.

This is still one of my favorite videos and kudos to rock for addressing the problem with humor. It is so apt for today.

He's right. Most negative interactions begin with a belligerent citizen acting out

yup exactly
