Florida PD using military APC to pull over motorist

A boss let’s her finish and continues to his destination without issue.

I watched the entire video.

The LEO was chest thumping - looked and sounded foolish.

The guy he pulled over was a complete jackass.

FWIW, the guy pulled over looked like one of those “occupy wall street” turds.

I’m sure he did give the cops the finger and they should’ve ignored it.

They, the guy and the cops all looked foolish.

Would YOU give anyone in an APC going down your street the finger?

That hippie got off easy if you ask me.

You’re right. They should’ve beat the **** out of him for exercising a constitutionally protected right.

LEO’s handled themselves well.

I am sorry but as of today, we see people that run from cops, mouth off to cops or grab their sidearms end up in some very bad situations…often dead.

So…going forward…knowing this…why would anyone act they way they do to cops?

You are just begging for trouble!

  1. LEOs were leaving an event in the BearCat. They are not out patrolling in that thing.
  2. Guy flips them off.
  3. That draws attention to himself and the LEOs see what appears to be a woman giving the guy some road head.
  4. They conduct a traffic stop to investigate. It’s not the ideal vehicle to do that in but that’s what they are in when they observed a possible crime occuring.
  5. Guy on video admits to flipping the bird, verifying point 2, and says his girlfriend was sleeping in his lap, verifying point 3.
  6. LEOs explain the reason for the stop and question the guy about the possible sexual offense.
  7. LEOs do not get PC for the crime they suspected and the guy leaves.

A few things. First that girlfriend must have a very uncomfortable bed at home if she is falling asleep leaning over the center console of that car. Second I’d bet money that anyone here would be super pissed if you pulled up next to this guy getting road head and your 9 year old daughter saw what was happening. Given that this took place in broad daylight inside a city, I don’t think that is a far fetched possibility.

lets review…

If you don’t grab a cop’s sidearm…you don’t get shot.

If you don’t run from cops…you don’t get shot.

If you allow cops to cuff you and don’t resist…you don’t get suffocated by cops.

If you don’t have oral sex in public and make obscene gestures to a tactical police vehicle…you do not get stopped and hassled by cops.

How hard is this?

Exactly. Well, or shot him… either way.

I guess everyone forgets about the 1st Amendment.

Dammit, you said it was some dirty, loser hippie. Now I am picturing a wuss in a prius with some dirty, inky sandwich maker with a bunch of shit pierced through her face.

I had been picturing an all around well played by both sides scenario with a debonair young professional in a cool car getting blown by a supermodel flipping off the cops while adjusting his ascot,
then pulled over by cream of the crop officers in their new APC on the way back from training with
no harm, no foul,
and fun had by all.

Really? I guess the civilian population should live in fear and make sure they always smile and look down when dealing with or passing law enforcement? Giving the finger is nothing but free speech and shouldn’t constitute a response harsher than a return finger.

if someone flips me the bird I just wave and blow em a kiss :slight_smile:

nothing was more fun than to throw rocks at a hornets nest when I was young :slight_smile: hahahhhha

If this was a case where TSA VIPRs were using MRAPs to stop random US citizens and said “papers please” I’d be the first person to call police state tactic, etc. This was not the case in this particular incident. Just another cell phone activists drawing attention upon himself.

So many reasons why this statement is ignorant…

Perhaps a tactical team should wear polyester and ties as well as all the shiny shit you seem to love so much.

Perhaps they should join the Marines if they want to play Marine.

Sorry but it has nothing to do with “wanting to be a Marine.”

It has everything with using the right tool for the job. If I had wanted to be a Marine I would have joined. I didn’t want to so I didn’t. Simple as that. It’s not air soft cosplay bullshit. It’s a job. Simple as that.

How do you know some of them are not?

LE is one of, if not the biggest career fields veterans join. Ive been on squads that were over half veterans. The lowest ratio squad Ive been on is my current squad with two of us out of 9. Guys I train with at our patrol rifle courses include a former Navy SEAL, a couple Army SF guys, a former USMC Recon guy, a current AF reserve JTAC and a couple dozen of other 11Bs and 03xx guys. Lots of Reserve and Nasty Guard in my department.

The driver got what he deserved.

My ridiculous statement was made in response to another ridiculous statement.

Perhaps that was missed due to lack of tone of voice conveyance on the Internet.

No, they should wear subdued name tags so that they’re names are readily identifiable. You know what you can do with your snarky comment.
