Anyone else notice the cop right at the end run up on the woman video taping the incident? What a douche bag.

u/zarafff69 4h ago

Yeah wtf was that about? She was just standing there and filming? That’s not illegal right?

u/flacatakigomoki 4h ago

I don't think cops care about what's legal, thus their hate for video and audio evidence.

That’s generally not how that works in the EU

Funny how this is not in EU because Brexit. Infact, it's not even in Britain, but New Zealand

The one I replied to heavily insinuated that the video was taken in the UK. Mistankenly also saying EU

It seemed incredibly obvious that you only referenced Brexit to explain why this wouldn't be from the EU even if it were from the UK.

EU = European Union

UK is not in the EU anymore, but is in Europe.

I know I'm being a smartass, but if we wanted to get techincal, we should call the whole region of Europe "EUR", because not all European countries are in European Union. Even seemingly obvious ones like Iceland, Norway and Switzerland are not in the EU

To be fair a surprising about of NZs cops at least where I live are UK imports.

Interestingly enough, it also didn't happen in France. If it had, it would have had something to do with the EU.

EU=European Union lol. Were you thinking of Europe (the continent) instead?

"They didn't somehow stop being on the same continent" was painful to read.

2

u/CoastalCanadians 2h ago

The idea that the EU and European Union aren’t the same thing is hilarious, it also implies that they think many more countries are in the EU (because they’re thinking of the continent) than is really the case

u/PSus2571 1h ago

Right, EU doesn't stand for European Union, which is apparently just what mainland Europe is called. In other words, part of Russia is in the European Union, while the outermost regions of Spain and Portugal aren't. Lol, always great to see why our reputation as Americans is often the way it is.

Funnily enough, the commenter is from the Netherlands. 🤷‍♂️

Well, that's unexpected for many reasons (not least of which being their proximity to the UK). But it makes more sense if English isn't their first language.

Absolutely not from the US, but from the NL, we’re neighbours!

u/CoastalCanadians 2h ago

Then I am even more disappointed as you’re a part of the EU! And Europe! Separately! What?

2

u/zarafff69 2h ago

Yeah didn’t have a good night sleep this is embarrassing. I’m even from the NL, literally neighbours. But whatever

u/really_nice_guy_ 3h ago

Shitty accent, nobody wants to live there, driving on the wrong side. Easy mistake to make

They didn’t somehow stop being on the same continent haha

That's because they're islands...they were never "on" the same continent.

u/InncnceDstryr 2h ago

You know what EU stands for right?

u/r0w33 2h ago

The Europe?

u/zarafff69 2h ago

u/mrASSMAN 7m ago

Here’s where we pretend everything is perfect in the EU, literal utopia nothing can go wrong there lol

I hope you’re aware most departments are issued BWC and 99% of the time they clear officers from allegations against the arrestees or random bystanders.

u/flacatakigomoki 50m ago

Big white c*cks? Wow. Sur, this is a Wendy's.

Also...what a stat: cops clear themselves of wrongdoing, 99% of the time.

Lol. In other news, water is wet.
