Cops are wonderful, aren't they?

He was going more than 2 over

Even so... the whole thing was probably staged for that tv show. Either way - it doesn't really matter. I didn't find it to be all that shock-worthy. Especially after that one ticked I mentioned from five years ago. lol.

 TV show? I don't even think this even aired on TV...

The OP is not a troll guys, he's just young. [...]

Correction: he's young AND an antisemitic moronic snowflake. If the little idiot wants to b*tch about cops (which he only knows from cartoons and youtube videos, I suspect) - so be it, but his dumb c*nt parents should have taught him to avoid expressing antisemitism at every opportunity, especially in the presence of strangers. F*ck him and f*ck the puddle he spawned in...

Wow that was really crossing the line. Hope your day gets better.

[Nay_Sayer]

Yes, they are.
I can cherry pick too.

Obviously a failed attempt to use a child as a body shield. That's the takeaway, right?

That and it's pretty clear he mugged the kid, shot his dog and melted all his toys after this video stops

Wait, cops are sendin money to Isreal?

I'm sure I'll regret asking that...

He had to be. I wouldn't imagine you'd be worth pulling over at all for two miles over.

Yep. And The video never said the driver was pulled over for going 2 over. Only that the last sign he claimed to have seen was 55 and he was going 57. Also, his ticket was $137 and this was back in 1992. Ive been pulled over for going 20 over and 11 over and my tickets were $120 and $100 respectively, and that was in the late 2000's.

Yeah, that's the important part. He must have missed a sign that indicated he should go slower. Because he's in a hurry, and obviously angry, and I'd call that reckless driving. I don't blame the cop here. This isn't actually Fucking Cops material.

I absolutely know this cop was trying to save thiskid, so it's super ironic that it looks like he pulled him into more danger. Like, the car swerved away from the kid, but the cop pulled him i to tbe newly swerved path AND into the path of the oncoming car taking the video. Not that I would have done better or anything.

The cop in the video wasn't even doing anything bad at all. He pulled over a guy for speeding and the guy started yelling at him, cussing him out, and hitting his clip board. Honestly i think the cop behaved extremely well given what he had to deal with.

I also think that the cop exercised good self-discipline and conducted himself pretty well under the circumstances: it is never easy enforcing any given policy or rule, especially when the people who are breaking the rule are unable to put themselves in the enforcer's shoes.  Being a student of conflict resolution, one of the hardest skills to master is to resist the temptation to respond in kind: if someone blows up at you (regardless of how carefully and diplomatically you deliver a particular message), and it catches you off guard, it's incredibly difficult to acknowledge the negative emotions that are building up inside of you while essentially humanizing the other person and trying to stay cool and listen. Hence, from my vantage point, the only professional feedback that I could give here is that maybe it could've been helpful if the cop made more of an effort to relate to the guy who was speeding.  

With that said, even if this cop was a conflict resolution master, it ultimately takes both parties cooperating with each other in order for a conflict to be ideally resolved. Thus, if one party insists on being negative and resorting to outbursts and personal attacks, then the type of outcome that occurred in this video (the law breaker raising his voice and leaving in a huff) may be the only realistic one to expect.

 Actually, I've had quite a few personal bad experiences with cops, which I don't feel like explaining here...

 Also, think it's okay to express my racial views here, since I'm not using my real name nor am I showing my face, so yeah...

 And my parents are not the reason I feel the way I feel, my reasons are research and personal experience...

I was making a joke, but I also wonder why he pulled back instead of grabbing the kid and running forward. Then again, he didn't have much time to think, so he just acted. The less here is, if the vehicle ahead of you is stopping, it's probably for a good reason, so don't just take to the other lane and keep going.
