and when I said "They didn't in this case" you said you don't think the constitution should apply to people you don't like. If you think the police officer acted appropriately here then you think people should be able to be detained for legal speach because the officer says "I'm suspicious of you".



There is no "in a sense" here. If you want to severely restrict rights you have to have a very good reason to do it and it has to be specificly tailored to the situation. So in a court room only. "On the street" is way too broad to ever stand up to scrutiny.

try learning elections have consequences

maybe it will spare you the verball pissing-yourself on jsp in the future

And I said that I can't speak to this case, because I did not watch the entire video. I didn't have to watch it to know that my opinion was not going to change - since if the cops were in the wrong, a court of law very likely would have properly dealt with it.

Does this happen all of the time? Of course not. Sometimes even judges are corrupt, but as it stands right now - the system works incredibly well and I'll stand by it until that changes.

You are right to some extent.

However, let's say in situations where the po-po pulls someone over, he 1. probably has very good reason for doing so and 2. being pulled over is not having one's rights "severely restricted".

Note I am not talking about the particular case in the OP. I am talking in a general sense.

What the hell have you people done? You got me agreeing with netflix.

Bleep acts like a bleep and gets arrested for disorderly conduct.

*sigh*

unnecessary, that moron voted for the thing he cries about and it will be a celebration when his own bidding will manifest itself in a form of a police knee on his neck

What does bleep stand for?



I'm an incredibly reasonable person once you stop being triggered and actually listen to my opinions.

blue no matter who voter who brought authoritarianism on himself

I watched bits of the video, didn't watch the whole thing in its entirety, and my understanding is that some kid flipped an officer the bird, and the officer detained him on some flimsy grounds. If this is all there is to it, then I have to agree that the police officer had overstepped his bounds. However, I have to allow for the possibility that maybe he truly thought there was something suspicious that the kid was getting up to. For one thing, for someone to exhibit hostility towards cops like the kid did, almost immediately this will place you on the officer's radar. Case in point: if you stand around on a street corner in a high-crime area and you in addition, eye cops with animosity, well guess what, the cops are going to be very wary of you. And the slightest move from you is likely to be perceived as a threat by the officers in question.

Also, the kid was being stupid. One does NOT disrespect an authority figure like that. Not when said authority figure carries a gun and has the ability to ruin your day.
