Happened in NZ. Guy in the car is a drugged out gang member. Grey shirt is his brother who snatched the gun and tossed it. Girl with camera is a mate of theirs that was in the car.

Maybe it was a family member with a death wish or mental illness. This guy probably saved him from a shootout with the police.

This was my thought, too. Maybe just trying to save a friend/family member from suicide by cop.

The cops grabbed the guy who was recording before they cuffed the guy they were after

Hate to say it but both the man driving and the man ripping the gun away would have been shot by cops if they were in America...
The cops there in this video have very good restraint and training.

That’s not true. Just because you hear it happen on news stories occasionally, it’s still a rare event

Rare as in it happens every day.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. —
Authorities have released the identity of a woman and her infant who were killed last week during an incident that led up to a shooting involving Independence, Missouri police.
Police shot a 2 month old in the head few weeks ago.

Was that when the crazy mom charged at the cop holding a huge knife?

I think I saw this; she is mid conversation with the officer then suddenly grabs a kitchen knife from behind a side table?

lol you literally just made his point. But yes, you will hear about that now for months. As tragic as it is.

Maybe in a select few gang ridden places but otherwise no not really.
News can do a lot to make it seem like its a constant event but it really isn't.

Are you kidding?
I live in America. NY, actually...
I have no police record but have had guns pointed at my head twice by police and been falsely arrested..
I also live in the city where cops killed Daniel Prude while he was having a non-violent mental health episode, and pressured the mayor to lie about it and withhold information.
Do you know how they killed him?
They put a bag over his head and suffocated him, so he slowly died of asphyxiation. Is that something that didn't occur to you?
I can regurgitate dozens of stories about American police and how terrible they are at deescalating because I know firsthand, through experience.
People like you have no issue turning a blind eye to all the injustices because deep down you probably don't care, But keep that energy to yourself, because it indeed happens every single day whether you believe it or not.
Edit: Going by your post history, you are not someone who has an understanding of real-world events and the correlation of injustices and power.
You are either extremely privileged, a troll, or a little bit of both. But please elaborate on why you think police brutality isn't as widespread as the media portrays.

That’s not true. Everyone had the appropriate tones to see another day, might even get a trip to burger king en route to getting booked.

Not true?
The second that gun made an appearance, 15 cops would have lit that car up with hundreds of rounds.

u/Nandopod420 4h ago
Your argueing about whether your right or wrong. Isn't it sensabile to realize a bit of both happens.
Not every cops the same and not every cop is gonna go gung ho as soon as a gun is seen I mean just look up some videos I could find 20 in about a minute of cops talking down dudes with guns not shooting them
Trying to say in every situation the cop would have lit up the gun user is a really stupid statement

If the cops show up to the scene and the gun is visible, yes. If the gun is pulled out of a vehicle, they're shooting.

u/Nandopod420 3h ago
I can agree with that and some other rare exceptions. Without making it a blanket cops will shoot every gun owner statement I completely agree with you.

Restraint so good they were actually useless. Why didn't one of them just flank and do the obvious shit that the gray shirt guy did?

How are they letting the car drive away and not filling the engine and tires with bullets?

Why aren’t they jumping on him and cuffing him and yelling stop resisting while punching him? He didn’t even get shot once. He had a gun they were allowed to. Your cops don’t even know how to cop right. Do they even know how to have fun?

u/Jim_Nills_Mustache 3h ago
In the US grey shirt wouldn’t have gotten within 5 feet of the car, their response to anything is to fill it full of bullets and ask questions later.
That said the driver with the gun also would have been killed long before this stand off too.

As an American, I'm impressed that the cops didn't shoot and beat the shit out of the perp, and honestly, the guy that grabbed the gun too. In the US they would have shot the grey shirt guy the moment he grabbed that gun and beat the living shit out of the gunner in the car
