But as others have said, this cop did his job. It sucks that the guy got pulled over for going a few miles over the speed limit. Pretty much everybody speeds at least a little when they don't think the cops are watching.
I have literally no idea what this has to do with Jews.
Well, the cops do steal people's money (like the video for example) and send it to Israel, so yeah...
We do give billions of dollars in aid to Israel. I don't think we should considering they have Universal Healthcare and we don't. We should be denying them aid because of their encroachment into territory that is internationally recognized as Palestinian.
But I don't think Jews in general are bad, and there are other places I would stop throwing away our money at before Israel.
The cop isn't stealing. I suppose he could've have said "3 miles over the speed limit, I don't care." but it wasn't immoral for him to not do that.
Sometimes cops do literally steal. Google "Civil Asset Forfeiture" In some jurisdictions all the cops have to do is say your money or property was going to be used in a crime-no proof necessary-and they take it. Sometimes it pays for bonuses or the new break room.
