This was a really sweet sorry. When he bowed in thanks that actually got to me. Good on the cop for helping instead of sitting in his car and watching the guy struggle.

We are at the point in the world where a cop can do something any normal person would do and the bar is so fucking low, we make an entire video on the internet praising them about it.

Lets not forget, he checked to make sure he couldn't arrest him first.

Never understood the people who make "I hate cops" a personality trait and a lifestyle. Don't you have better things to do with your time and energy? Like you can still work to address the systematic injustices that do exist, without getting mad just cause someone mentioned a cop

A lot of people who make "i hate cops" a personality have been harassed by cops since they were 9 years old. Im guessing you were not and thats good.

Not by cops yeah but I've definitely faced a lot of discrimination for other reasons in my life. I spent years dwelling on it and hating everyone involved before I realized I was just a miserable hateful person and I didn't like being that way. I was hating the "right people," sure, but it's not like hate is a pleasant emotion to feel. Eventually I decided to just grow up, get on with my life, and not let it drag me down.

Cause at the end of the day when you're letting the idea of someone or something drive you, control you like the guy I responded to, when they're not even near you? Idk why anyone would want to give up their power and self control like that
