      Stops like this happen thousands of times daily across the US and Canada.

      I'd run hundreds of plates through the computer during an 8 or 10 hour shift. Recovered I don't know how many stolen vehicles, arrested IDK how many people for warrants.

      It's called proactive policing.

        Are you going to argue there's no DWB problem? Because 10% of the population would like a word with you.

          I'm not going to argue, but this stop doesn't show any evidence of DWB. Oh, and in case you missed it at 2:11 into the video, the officer's partner is black!

          The tint on the windows would make it difficult to determine the race of the driver, especially around dusk as this appears to be. But what would I know about that?

            Is this seriously real? I can't think of a worse policy than expecting a cop under fire to take careful aim at a moving ankle bone before defending himself. It just seems bizarre. Can you imagine how many more dead cops we'd have in the U.S. if we tried this?
            Is this another of those "but Finland has a homogeneous population so it works" things? I don't see how.
            okay, what I learned in my five minutes of research about socialist countries that don't have all those pesky "constitutional rights" is that most of the cops just carry tasers since the people aren't allowed to have guns. So I guess that explains that: "You'll feel safer here in this little padded box and we'll feed you twice a day..."

              The f-ck does that matter? You really don't get that systemic racism affects everybody? Did you really never even hear of black citizens' fear of black cops because they can be even more gung-ho just to show they're on the ahem "right" side?

              But, no. I'm sure you're right and this is all everybody's imagination. Must be hard to be so misunderstood.

                I hate to make the comparison, but it's the stories of the black cabbies admitting to skipping black people on the streets because they fear for their safety or losing out on a fare. It's tough to say if that happens only after having been burned a few times on the fares, or if it's ingrained in them because of society. Regardless, stuff like this happens.

                  To your first question, ummmm 10?

                  To your last point, you need to do 5 minutes of research on prison there too, many prisoners only spend the nights in their "box" and do things like go to work during the day. You know, they are treated like people instead of animals.

                      Will you ever get the distinction that merely making an observation about how things are is not at all a statement in support of how things are?

                        In MLK's last years, he was the target of a lot of anger from blacks who were fed up with his policy of nonviolence, which they thought was completely ineffective. I realize that is completely different from the examples that are being given here, but Jesse J may have been subject to some of that anger as well.

                          You've never seen any of the studies that even black cops tend to be racist towards black suspects?
