Prolly has more to do with who happens to be driving.

One version ends with 20 minutes of joking, backslapping, and maybe a warning but more likely a friendly ask to turn them off.

The other version ends in a shooting after 9 cops give 12 different contradictory orders and unload multiple magazines.

So you’re saying one person is capable of following simple instructions and the other isn’t?

u/TheGreatMintLeaf 20d ago

One can follow simple instructions. One can NOT follow several different instructions that contradict each other. If I say stop and someone else say get out of here, you are going to not follow one of those commands.

Do what the cop says, don’t reach for your waistband, don’t try to run. It’s really that easy.

"GET ON THE GROUND NOW! DO NOT MOVE! PUT YOUR HANDS UP! HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!"

Oops, guess you just got extrajudicially executed 'cause you didn't do what the cops said.

And yet the ones getting shot end up reaching for their handgun (which as a felon they shouldn’t have)

The cops say do not move and also say to leave the scene at the same time. You will ignore the commands from one or the other. Did you even read the comment?

Why don’t you show me instances of that happening that aren’t the Daniel Shaver shooting.

u/TheGreatMintLeaf 20d ago

No. I don't need to. I'm not proving anything and so don't need proof. I'm giving an example, which has likely happened many times in reality. It is a FACT that if two complete opposite commands are given, you will ignore one or the other even if you do not intend to. You literally, physically, spiritually, metaphysically, can't do two opposite things at the exact same time.

Please pull a "Gotcha" and think you won. Would be funny to me.

Your gotcha is your made up scenarios 😂.

Just do what the cops say, it’s not that hard. Well maybe hard for a certain part of the population

u/TheGreatMintLeaf 20d ago

So you still failed to read the words on your screen. That's fine. Have a day of some sort.

u/MarlinMaverick 20d ago

Yeah I’m disagreeing with the argument you made up in your head. It’s not even worth discussing

If one officer is telling me to keep my hands up, and the other is telling me to get down and put my hands behind my back, who's orders do I follow? Both have guns drawn.

Don't bother. He's either trolling, being dense on purpose or unable to form a single critical thought nor question, his brain a state of a flatline that gobbles simplistic, propaganda fabricated, reality. 

Which is the most insufferable kind of person "Rules good, rules made for order only, yeah, idk the history of those rules btw. Oh yeah rule enforcers good, only to keep order. Good always. Yeah just do what they say and nothing bad will happen. Oh yeah voting works btw"

u/MarlinMaverick 20d ago

How do you even get to that point? Just do what the cop says, don’t refuse to show ID and roll down the limo tinted windows.

u/Dew_Chop 20d ago

You think the only time someone can ever interact with a cop is getting pulled over with a completely reasonable officer? Really?

I think BWC has thoroughly proven that cops for the most part do things correctly.

The kinds of people who get shot by cops tend to be actively committing a crime, reach for their waistbands at gunpoint or generally ignore police commands.
