The guy did comply and didn’t die. And now he gets to sue the frick out of that POS inbred cop.
He didn't comply. He laughed at the idiot telling him he could be thrown in jail for 6 months for not signing his registration. That is what he was arrested for. He chose to laugh, admittedly any sane person would have in the same situation. Many of the people who the comply or die crowd are ok with being executed without due process do not choose not to comply...they are incapable of complying with multiple and conflicting orders or orders to do something that is humanly impossible like "drop the weapon" when you are not in possession of a weapon.....
There is an obvious reason why no one is defending the cop in this situation.....the guy who was arrested is not being overly deferential or polite...he is laughing at the power or the state by god....that can get you executed.....

I understand stand they might not know every aspect of every criminal code but there’s always a phone or radio and time. In the custody situation, once she refused to answer, a call should be made. Not arrest and find out “you can’t do that “.

It is pretty comical how many cop threads he starts. If there's a cop thread to be found on TD, either OT or Poli board, it's a safe bet Dex has started it.

Cops need to be much better compensated, and it needs to be much more difficult to become a cop. There are too many bad cops who the system bends over backwards to protect from obviously terrible behavior. But the bending over backwards makes sense when you consider how much the job fricking sucks—they’d never have an adequately staffed police force otherwise.
They need to be held to the highest standards in society, and ideally we need our best and brightest all throughout the field. But you’ll never have that if you don’t pay for it. #FundThePolice

Civil Rights Lawyer is awesome, I hope he bankrupts this corrupt cop.

No doubt. There's so many layers to the issues surrounding criminal justice in this country that it's impossible to fix it with just one or two things.
Some cops are absolute douches but some are good folks. I'd hate to be a cop today and keep putting my life on the line to arrest the same shitheads over and over again just for the system to keep cutting them loose. It's not great pay, unions and politics are all over policing today and have been for some time. It's such a shitshow all around and it seems that no one is winning.

Like doing 50 in a 35 with no red & blues on?

cops get very mad when you laugh at them. undercover ABCs tried to get me when I was a senior at lsu. i chuckled when i realized what was happening and they both threw a fit like children.

What also needs to change is "absolute immunity" for prosecutors, who can and do manufacture evidence, suborn perjury, and suppress exclusionary evidence in order to keep their conviction rate up and campaign for re-election as tough on crime. This even though the ABA says prosecutors should be held to a higher standard than ordinary lawyers and serve the interests of justice for both the State and the accused. The written ABA standard sounds right but is rendered meaningless by immunity from civil suit.

Doesn't help that the cop has that high pitched country twang

Normally the driver is somewhat of a tool, this dude absolutely was cool during this entire exchange.
Im glad he remained that way. He will win because he kept his head.
At the end of the day, they just driving you down to the jail, your wife will bail you out. Its a annoyance but nothing that needs to be more than it was.
Good on him.

This was the cop's third inexplicable run in with a black person.

Again, judges have judicial immunity not qualified immunity, it is similar but not exactly the same. Prosecutors have prosecutorial immunity and qualified immunity which together acts like absolute immunity, obviously within the scope of their job.

Not quite. LEO can do illegal things and even ignore the law if a court agrees a reasonable LEO would have done the same.
