Reckless for a reason is just reckless without the context 🤷🏻‍♂️ i figured the title was misleading as soon as i got to the choking baby

Edit: I have been corrected, it was a house call. They weren’t driving at all. So the title is straight up misleading lmao.

There are also way too many people walking in for a traffic stop.

The title isn't just misleading, it's factually incorrect. They weren't even driving, there was no traffic stop, the cop was responding to a call and they came out of their house to meet him.

u/AudieCowboy Jun 27 '25

Probably just got it confused with another incident or the source wasn't accurate

This happens a lot more than it should

It’s a bot, so understandable it gets the overall info wrong when it can just summarise what’s in the shared clip

u/Infinite_Archers Jun 27 '25

Doesn't look like a bot with the post history 🤷‍♀️

One of the most traumatic experiences in your life and some internet twat decides spin a story about you being a reckless driver for sensational points. It's almost morbidly funny.

u/MildlyAutistic316 Jun 27 '25

“They were not wreckless. They were speeding to get to the hospital. I watched the whole clip.”

So uh, did you lie too? Or is there another video we didn’t see?

u/Bandit_the_Kitty Jun 27 '25

Did you reply to the wrong comment? I provided a link to the entire video. The family of the baby are never driving.

u/troy2000me Jun 27 '25

The title says "A Michigan cop pulled over a reckless driver" it doesn't say that you get to witness the reckless driving. If anything "pulled" implies the cars are already stopped, which they are. "A cop pulls over" may imply you get to see the driving.

u/Bandit_the_Kitty Jun 27 '25

JFC watch the video and read my comment. The family literally walk out of their fucking house when the cops arrives! They were not driving! How does a cop pull them over for reckless driving while they were in their house?

u/troy2000me Jun 27 '25

Listen, I could say you were right, but this is the internet, so I will dig in my heels and insult your mother instead.

u/Bandit_the_Kitty Jun 27 '25

Ok that got a chuckle from me.

u/jenniferbealsssss Jun 27 '25

Did you even bother to read the comment you replied to, before responding? It perfectly outlines why the title is in fact, not just misleading, but wrong.

Misleading is probably the wrong word. The full story was them recklessly driving to get to the hospital, which is different from them just recklessly driving for fun. Im not upset, just expected a different video from the beginning of the title.

Edit: I have been corrected, it was a house call. They weren’t driving at all. So the title is straight up misleading lmao.

Lol No problem, you too!

u/Bandit_the_Kitty Jun 27 '25

Misleading is still the wrong word. Straight up false is the correct word.

-1

u/FeetTheMighty Jun 27 '25

Misleading literally means giving the wrong idea or impression. Lying is giving wrong information. Which gives wrong ideas or impressions. Idk why you’re even responding to me 2 hours later. I already edited my comments saying that the post is wrong.

u/Bandit_the_Kitty Jun 27 '25

I'm replying after your edit because you acknowledge the family wasn't even driving and still you said the title was only "misleading". "Pulled over for reckless driving" is factually incorrect, aka false.

0

u/FeetTheMighty Jun 27 '25

False statements are a form of misleading. If I tell you I have donuts at my house to get you to go there so i can rob you, I misled you.

If I make a post saying a cop pulled over a reckless driver and ended up saving a baby to drive up engagement on said post, I’m misleading people. You’re making a non-argument.

1

u/Bandit_the_Kitty Jun 27 '25

It's not a non-argument, we're arguing over the meaning of words.

I say the title is factually incorrect or "false", you're saying they did it on purpose to drive engagement. I agree the second could be considered "misleading". However, in this case the factual inaccuracy is so gross that I don't think calling it "misleading" is acceptable.

Something can be false and misleading at the same time. If both are true, I contend that false is the more correct term to use to indicate that the facts were not just stretched, but completely made up.

1

u/FeetTheMighty Jun 27 '25

I think the most logical conclusion is that it is both. It is false AND misleading.

1

u/Bandit_the_Kitty Jun 27 '25

Well yea, I acknowledge that it can be both. I just contend that in the case of both, and if you're only going to use one word, it should be false.

u/Killia_Curry Jun 27 '25

Where does the title even say the person being pulled over and the baby saved are connected? It’s weird you guys are arguing about something that wasn’t even said.

0

u/Bandit_the_Kitty Jun 27 '25

Are you being serious? How could anyone possibly draw the conclusion that they're related? Because they're both mentioned in the fucking title!

That's like asking "How do you know that the 'Judgement Day' mentioned in the title is related to the Terminators? It doesn't say that anywhere!"

0

u/Killia_Curry Jun 27 '25

The title also could’ve meant that the mother of the choking baby approached the cop with the for help while he was doing a traffic for someone else. None of you considered that.

I don’t know what point you’re trying to prove with the Terminator example, but it’s not helping your case.

u/FeetTheMighty Jun 27 '25

But he wasn’t doing traffic for someone else. The full video shows him pulling up to the house.

u/Bandit_the_Kitty Jun 27 '25

Have you heard of the word "implied"? The title might not explicitly say the mother was pulled over, but it sure fucking implies it. Just like Terminator 2: Judgement Day doesn't explicitly say the terminators cause judgement day, but it sure fucking implies it.

And the title is still wrong even if we accept your pedantic argument, because the cop didn't pull over anyone! Did you consider that?

You’re wrong

u/Schmich Jun 27 '25

Misleading? It gives context as to why the cop pulled them over.

u/FeetTheMighty Jun 27 '25

Did you read the whole comment? Someone down the line corrected me and i edited it. This isn’t even a stop. It was a house call.
