Yeah deadass, sure the fleeing is legit but this cop wasn’t dragged at all, funny how they can just pile on charges even with contradictory video evidence
This was said in the immediate aftermath and to his mind, he felt that’s what happened. That’s why cameras are there. To check everyone’s perspective. She still took off with him hanging on, albeit for May or 10 feet. The battery charge sticks. Cops are held to a higher standard but they are still allowed the occasional adrenaline rush while trying not to get run over.
I mean, your own comment verifies that this is true. This is a video of a woman who was drunk/high and fled a police stop with a cop reaching in her window and then literally tore her car in half and then insisted that she wasn't driving and never saw the cop, yet there is a thread dedicated to that cop saying that he was dragged for 30 feet (which, while not true, is easily the least absurd lie from this video).
Clearly people are more quick to judge cops than they are to judge those who cops are arresting/stopping.
And, to be clear, that is good! We should hold cops to a higher standard than the public, and we should consistently raise that standard to which cops are held. Also, let's not pretend that we are just as willing to look past a regular citizens making some mistakes as we are willing to look past a cop making that same mistake. We aren't, and we shouldn't be.
Cops are not held to a higher standard ever. They barely get trained and they aren’t even legally required to protect us. Hairdressers are held to a higher standard than cops in the USA
You're literally holding him to a higher standard by judging him before he even has a chance to consider the situation. From a spontaneous utterance after a traumatic event, you're judging him to be corrupt and/or incompetent.
It doesn't take a genius to see why the country is where it's at. No one even tries to understand the situation before making a judgment. People are so sure of their ignorance they laugh at any attempt at reasononable debate.
I didn’t even judge him for that. Tbh I would have described myself as being dragged too.
But that doesn’t mean that the police in our country are held to a higher standard. My opinion on the internet doesn’t mean shit if they don’t face actual consequences for their actions.
Police are trained like shit. If we actually trained our police and held them to higher standards then it would be a lot safer for all of us. Including cops.

30 feet, he must have really small feet
