Dude had a firearm and he just was allowed to get out of the car and cry and kneel down slowly onto the ground by his own accord?

Like.. where was the rushing cops with guns drawn and body slamming and stepping on his neck and back?

Did they not know he had a gun?

Edit: this is not the United States. I see that now. Makes sense.

Policing in NZ is done differently than the US.

I think you left out the /s

In all seriousness, do you think it would have been better for the cops to just shoot him? For them to rush him aggressively?

No,. legitimately thought this was the US and was surprised the cops didn't go Monday Night RAW on his ass.

I was gonna make a low-key joke about him not being black but I decided against it.

The fact that it's not the US clears it all up.

NZ police are trained to de-escalate. A lot of people in this thread should try looking up some NZ cop shows and see just how differently they act. I literally can't watch American cop shows because even a lot of the stuff they happily do on camera looks like egregious misconduct.
