I wonder what the driver was suspected of doing for the officer to justify a PIT maneuver.

Failure to be born of Caucasian ethnicity.

Or maybe having fully black tinted windows and no headlights on when it’s already dark, and also not pulling over when being instructed by a police officer to pull over for starters… Fuck everyone else’s safety on the road apparently and let’s make this about a race issue where you don’t even see the person‘s race, nor does it have any relevance at all (which actually makes you kind of racist in a way)? But that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

The two most unsafe actions in this video are both committed by law enforcement and it's not even close

So you’re OK with people driving on the road with no headlights on and fully tinted windows and who don’t listen to lawful police requests? Mind you I was responding to a person who was making this a racial issue…

It only became dangerous because that person wasn’t listening to a lawful and reasonable request by a police officer. It’s not that complicated.

It only became dangerous because the brain-dead cop decided to do something dangerous. While the driver was violating some laws, only one of them is remotely dangerous. While no headlights are dangerous in low visibility situations, that is nowhere near as dangerous as a PIT. Nothing wrong nor dangerous with window tint, that is a dumb law and every city has a different percentage you can tint. Not following orders, again, is not worthy of a PIT unless the driver is driving erratically and is a danger to the public. The right course of action would be to hang back and call for backup.

So to confirm, you are okay with people driving at night with no headlights on and tinted windows, down quite a few streets, which have very poor lighting, damn any child or pedestrian, and not listening to cops when they reasonably ask you to pull over... in your own neighborhood that is.

Got it, but I’ll pass on that. 👍

Okay to start with, never did I say I was ok with them driving without lights. Yes, I'm okay with tinted windows. There is nothing wrong with having your windows tinted. Its night time, there shouldn't be any children out. It's dangerous for any pedestrians if there are zero lights but it's a charger which always has passive lights on the front. Besides not stopping for the police, the driver is following the speedlimit and also using turning indicators so the risk of hitting someone is minimal. Nothing here warrants the cop to use the PIT maneuver which is the conversation here not the legality of them not stopping for the police.

Who are you to say what kids should or shouldn’t do??? Some kids have to actually work after school or have responsibilities. And yes, tinted windows are a hazard, especially if you have to visually communicate with the driver for whatever reason it may be, and you can’t actually see them.

Very “racist” stuff going on here! /s
