    He lowered his window, handed his license over, and put his windows back up. The officer felt safe enough to stand by the widow for half a minute, knocking on the glass. The argument that the situation was threatening holds zero water and is just bootlicker cope.

    The officer can make all kinds of demands, but if they don’t fall under the procedures they are required to follow, then it’s on the officer. The lack of following procedures is likely why the officer is suspended and will hopefully no longer be on the force. The excessive use of force is also going to result in tax payers paying millions to the recipient of the assault.

      Please stop calling me a bootlicker. It’s not necessary for this conversation to occur.

        Sorry about that.

        It is a pejorative, but only trying to use it as short hand for people that freely give away their rights to authority.

          No, it isn’t, just like TERF isn’t or like pointing out someone is white or male isn’t, they are all simple statements of fact, that those they apply to don’t like because, being used to always being the “default” that doesn’t need categorising, it gives them the tiniest of glimpses of being part of an out group, without all of the oppression people like them actually enforce on members of the groups they marginalise.

          Don’t play in to the hands of the victimhood seeking bootlicker. This person is not being attacked or bullied or harmed in any way, they are literally just facing the consequences of their actions and words.

          As they fucking should.
