    When I was young, and far more temperamental, shit like this is why I said I could never be a cop. Imagine pulling this idiot over for a routine stop, for obvious reasons. And then getting a face full of insane argument.

    “Step out of the car or I’m taking my nightstick, bashing all the windows and headlights, then I will remove you from the car. And have it towed to impound. While you’re in jail.”

    I watched SovCit YouTube videos for an evening and the cops and judges were insanely nice to these people. I couldn’t handle it.

      I mean sovcits shoot cops so I understand them not wanting to die because of a traffic stop. But yeah a cop could be way more aggressive and simply yank them out and arrest them without batting an eye and everyone would be ok with that.

      Ive learned that when dealing with people that already have a list of things to throw at you, it’s best to be very nice, listen, and then firmly yet kindly tell them how things work. Being “by the book” is a great way to shut karens like that down. Sometimes it’s a not too long of a process, and sometimes it’s a very long process.

      That’s what i think cops are doing when theyre insanely nice to sovcits.
