Yeah. I generally despise cops and don't give them the benefit of the doubt, but this looks fair. That was a weird gesture that could've been a grab for a weapon, or he could've simply been sliding his backpack off. Poor judgement in his part

He's taking off the backpack. Even if he had a weapon in there, what are the chances he'd be able to retrieve it before he got tased? Fucking pig apologist.

Not exactly. He reached and got tazed as a response. If he was showing he was more than willing to comply from the get go I doubt tazers would have been pulled and that things would have escalated. That video is going to exonerate those cops.

3 guys have tasers pointed at you and ask you to remove a backpack. Do you:

A. slowly and deliberately remove it by the straps with your hands visible at all times?

B. do a weird move to remove it with a flourish where your hand goes behind your back and looks like you could be going for a weapon?

He made a poor decision, but luckily he wasn't seriously hurt.

Okay? Generally I take backpacks off by grabbing the straps closer to my chest. The way he moved his arm could easily have made the cops think he was reaching for a weapon.

Seriously, "I feared for my life and followed procedure" is usually what cops resort to after tazing / shooting when someone makes a sudden move and / or goes to move their hand near the waistband of their pants, etc.. If you don't want to get seriously hurt, have to pay fines and possibly die, don't EVER conceal your hands, or reach.

I can no longer visualize what taking off a backpack is supposed to look like.

I guess you could just shrug and wiggle to get it off, or you can thread hand through the strap in front of your body. Threading through behind your back is also valid, but it doesn't seem to be my default way.

They made the right call using non-lethal force.

I don't give a fuck about how you feel about it. The screaming idiot bystanders weren't doing anything to alleviate the shituation as well.

When you're confronted by police, one the first rules of engagement is no sudden movements.

It's rather simple.

This is exactly how I would take off a backpack 99% of the time. It was probably just complete reflex to do it the way you usually do it.

Depends on how tight the straps are. If they're tight enough you'll need to thread your hand under the inside loop to take it off

Oh yes, being in a high stress situation where you have weapons pointed at you from multiple people known to shoot first and ask questions later while doing so if you do not comply fast enough is the most likely time that you are going to stop and think and remove your backpack in a way you never do.

i can't tell for sure, but it even looks like one of the bags with clips so that someone can't grab it off of you from behind. if it is, he physically can't take it off without reaching for the clips.

And 99% of the time there aren't dudes with weapons pointed at you lol. Idk, it just seems unfathomable to me that people weren't taught or don't know by know that cops will literally shoot you just for the lulz. I'm about as white as it gets, and I still don't trust them and take every precaution to not make a move that could be taken the wrong way when dealing with or just in the presence of cops.

Oh shut the fuck up. You people are massively over complicating a simple concept. Like how fucking tone deaf and out of touch with the US's cop problem does someone have to be to not take every precaution possible? For that matter just general common sense: someone has a weapon pointed at you and you don't want to get shot, don't do anything that could be misinterpreted. Right, wrong, fair or unfair doesn't matter at that moment. If you want to increase your chances of surviving a cop encounter, don't give them a reason.

Sorry you suck at basic common sense in a stressful potentially lethal situation, hope you're never in one for your sake.

Difference between you and me I guess. Hands visible at all times, even during a friendly encounter. Dont trust them to know your intent, and move like you're in slo mo when they tell you to do something

When they get called to the scene they don't know what else these vapeheads are on. A guy high off of multiple drugs can shockingly fight off multiple adult men.

it doesn't matter if the victim handled the situation poorly when there was zero reason for their to be a situation in the first place.

It totally fucking matters.

A lot of tragedies can and have occured over even the most insignificant traffic stop where the suspects were the violent agressors.

These people are literally bitching because the guy was brought down ALIVE.

Fuck off.
