So harassing a law abiding driver over an air freshener on a mirror is worth a traffic stop?

Please tell me what other logical hoops you need to jump over to justify how far that boot is down your god damn throat.



It's not my fault you said something stupid.

Cops probably were rightfully on edge but that does not exonerate her from negligence.

People like you are the problem. All emotional, can’t even look at the facts.



I'm one of the few using logic in this thread. The last thing I am is emotional.

Way to many people are reading things to fit their preconceived notions.

As already stated, the perp was in the wrong as was the cop. The perp is dead so not much else can be done to him. The cop on the other hand, hopefully, has a long road of court proceedings ahead of her.

The point out of all of this is far too many cops are in a rush to grab their guns in situations that do not warrant it. And far too many support the bad results that come from those actions.

I'm one of the few conservatives that understands what the police are. ie-Agents of the government. I do not support the free passes they far too often receive when they either screw up or wantonly abuse their power.

And just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it won't in the future.

Except that the air freshener was against the law, it's been established that it is illegal to have anything hanging from the windshield/rearview.

The stop escalated when he was asked to exit the vehicle once they found he had a bench warrant out for having an unregistered weapon and failing to appear for his court date last year. When he tried to run the cop made a fire-able and chargeable mistake of grabbing her firearm opposed to her taser which she says she is deploying. Both the officer and young man are at fault.

How is the unregisteted weapon not a felony?

Gun control will disproportonately impact black people.

Without knowing Minneapolis law I would assume it was legally obtained, but just not legally registered. Possibly the semantics of not filing all paperwork kept it a misdemeanor, or a DA didn't want to ruin the young man's life with a felony hanging over his head for a bad decision made at 18/19.

Killed because the initial traffic stop was over that. Keep justifying this nonsense.

You’re a sheep. You need to read more closely. That was Wright’s version to his momma. She has no idea what the real reason was, but will keep repeating this one because it generates more sympathy by making her son appear to be innocent of any wrongdoing.

The police version is he had expired tags, which if the car was registered in his name, led them to discover he had an outstanding warrant for a gun charge.

Do you disagree with any of this?

More gun laws will lead to more cases just like this.

It’s good to hear someone who calls themselves a conservative saying this.

Because it’s an important distinction

Correct. They'll enforce gun control and mean speech with as much voracity as they do stickers and tags.

the fact that it was a woman has nothing to do with it. there are plenty of shitty male officers out there too.

Woman cop gets shot during traffic stop, returns fire and then hops in cruiser to chase suspect
