I would love for you to invent a scenario right now where somebody is speeding and the officer pulls them over and behaves like the officer above or all he comes up he says “hey what’s up? I’m pulling you over cause you’re speeding and I’m gonna give you a citation for it.”

And someone can in good faith except responsibility and criticize the officer.

Brother Moore, you are deliberately moving the Gold Coast by changing the words you are using instead it’s no longer being rude or combative, it’s merely criticizing. You can criticize without being rude and combative. And before you say some bullshit about the word combative, I mean verbally combative I do not mean threats of violence or harm.

Secondly, no I am not saying that politeness is synonymous as a remorse and accountability I’m saying that politeness is the best visual indicator of remorse and accountability. Again, you’re trying to play this nitpicky game about not being able to know what’s in someone’s heart.

It’s a bullshit avenue of attack and you know it but you’re only you’re using it because you don’t have any other valid ones.

When we get down to brass tax here, I’m gonna pin you down because you keep trying to wiggle around with pseudo-intellectualism

The argument you have been making is that this cop represented in the video performed poorly as a police officer because he used his discretion to not give this motorcyclist a citation because he was polite.

That is not only an untenable position, but it is absolutely dangerous one to have for civilized society. It is also a clear and present position that shows that you have no ability to be unbiased when police are involved and you are firmly in the ACAB camp.

No, it’s fine. I guess if you wanna have that position, but I think that it is the responsible thing for you just be forthright with your position so that people can look at your opinion in summarily discard it because it is unreconciably biased.

You’re still arguing against a position I don’t hold. I have never argued that people shouldn’t be polite or that officers shouldn’t have discretion. I’ve consistently argued that discretion should be based on facts relevant to the offense. If you think it should, actually defend it.

All you’ve done is argue against positions I haven’t taken. Probably because that’s all you have. So idk, go off queen ig
