Tl;dr follow orders and keep your hands visible at all times, don't do drugs
SCOTUS ruled in Graham v Connor that use of force incidents are to be judged by what the officer(s) knew at the time, rather than 20/20 hindsight. With this, Ofc Shelby responded to a call where motorists had stated that this man had something in his vehicle that was going to blow up. Upon arrival, he acted erratically, and due to her training and experience, she had a reasonable belief that he was under the influence of PCP. When guns were drawn, he reached into the vehicle after being told to show his hands numerous times. Ofc Shelby, nor anyone else, knew what, if anything, was in the vehicle. He could have been reaching for a gun, or any other sort of weapon. It was very reasonable for Ofc Shelby to believe that her life and others lives were in danger at that moment.

You can't look the same as someone else, but you can be the best of yourself.

If a cop is being unprofessional, or somehow violating your rights, you get his badge number/name and get some legal counsel to see what the next steps are. In the meantime, just swallow some pride and obey the cop.

Go ahead and back up your argument. You get questioned/stopped or whatever by a cop, explain to me how being a dickhead and disobeying him is going to help you in any way? You're going to get yourself cuffed, arrested or in this case like this guy, shot and killed.

Pcp and injectable anabolics are equally classified as controlled substances.. so i guess if you get shot in back with your hands up on side of road, we should find a better martyr.

If this incident never happened --
The cop would go on to do more good for the community tomorrow.
The suspect would be taking more drugs and hurting the community tomorrow.
I'm glad she got ruled not guilty. Why are you crazy people siding with the guy on PCP?

In this video the suspect clearly didn't endanger the cops life's. In b4 "b-b-but people are unpredictable".
Too scared to be able to deal with unpredictable people without always resorting to deadly force because it makes you fear for life? THEN DONT BECOME A COP. It's inherently a dangerous job.

She was responding to the call for his vehicle blocking street, he was acting erratic and not following commands and was under PCP.

But I believe I heard her say that during her 60 minutes interview where she gave her side of the story.

I don't like cops very much but if you're high af and acting squirrely there's a chance they might shoot you to prevent themselves from being shot. It's not a hard concept to grasp yet idiots still do dumb chit and get shot then everyone cries about it.

If you're too crazy or drugged up to follow a cop's orders, society is better off without you. There's ~0% chance that you're going to be doing good for the community and not hurting normal people the next day.

A. Dont be a criminal
B. Obey their commands
Whoa shocker
A. Dont be a criminal
B. Obey their commands
Whoa shocker
1. if pulled over, hands visible, etc.
2. you will absolutely not win any argument, no matter how many exponential times you are more in the right than the cop
3. if you are innocent, control your temper, as the cop is doing the same. you are being recorded. if the cop's a dick, it's on camera
4. if you got pulled over for a traffic incident, and you are innocent, you have any number of options to fight it. we all know someone who ran a red light. if the cop's not there to testify if you go to court, you get off. yes, you will lose time off work, etc. but it's worth it.
5. if the cop is a dick, and downright abusive, congrats, in 2017 you can get a settlement for that.
you as the driver are always going to lose in that initial contact. maintain your composure, smile, and build your case.
if you are guilty, pay the fine. if you are nice enough, the cop will let you off with a warning (if there's no priors, etc).
just stay cool. he's got a gun and a club.

I just don't understand why cops aren't allowed to beat people anymore.
It's like there's nothing inbetween wrestling/tasering a resistant suspect and shooting them 50 times... This guy was walking away while 8 cops were standing there... Why couldn't two of them step in and beat the chit out of this guy literally in order to save his life??
