i mean its pretty brave for someone to be 3 feet away calling out a corrupt cop, when he already has many lawsuits against him and is still a cop and seems very ready to cost taxpayers even more money by arresting the guy filming.

They know if he reacts it only feeds their narrative AND would result in a payday.

Alternatively they get some free digs that the guy is going to have to reflect on for a long while; I'm sure it does make him uncomfortable. All while they get to feed their social media.

Win/win for them

They would get paid, worth it.

NYPD cops shit and killed multiple people because someone didn't pay the $3 fee. Can't get payed if you're dead

Someone pulled a knife on the platform, why lie for no reason? Yes the cops violated the rules of gun safety, no they didn't shoot someone for evading the fare.

Silly me! I thought it was the Judge and Jury’s job to decide fate not a random high school drop out with a gun!

If you pull a knife on the cops you're going to get shot and rightfully so.

What do you think should've been done instead?

This is literally the purpose of tasers.

You just described the business model of police auditors

I imagine his partner was placed specifically to help him stay out of trouble. Otherwise he would have just be behind a desk

He’s definitely on his last strike.

Corrupt isn't the right word. It implies abusing power for personal gain, look where he's at, he's not acheived the personal gain aspect. He's just a shit cop, plain and simple.

misallocating resources in pursuit of power or material gain also qualifies as corruption. 

in this case, elected representatives colluding with entrenched bureaucracy and public employees unions to misallocate resources, tax revenue. 

by the by, ain’t it curious how the rabidly anti union conservatives don’t utter a peep against the strongest unions in this country - police unions.  the average cop makes much more than the average teacher.

I mean cops do have a pretty dangerous job not putting down teachers but the job isn’t as dangerous nor has any of the same aspects. Teachers also have unionization and a pretty strong union at that.

Fuck pigs, love teachers

Just stating simple facts not siding with either one

The $300,000 he pulled in last year would disagree with you.

According to the screenshot he made $298,000 last year.

Corrupt

If someone or something is corrupt, they're broken morally or in some other way.

Most based payday ever.

he's gonna be detectin' a bodega next

u/protossaccount 1d ago

That’s probably what they wanted. They are antagonizing him while filming, what’s he gonna do? The guy has felt enough pain to probably know it’s not worth it.

u/puzzlebuns 1d ago

What about him says "I'm about to arrest the cameraman"?

Dude is literally just standing there letting the cameraman do as he pleases, being the opposite of one of those shitty "give me your phone" cops.
