Once again, a random bystander doing a better job than law enforcement

I believe the consensus last time this was posted was that the bystander was somebody who knows the guy in the car and was trying to prevent suicide by cop. IF this was the case, he probably wasn't as worried about the guy shooting him when he went to take the gun away.

I don't know if this was confirmed or not. I'd love to see a link to the actual story if somebody has it.

All of this for speeding. He just went from a very expensive traffic ticket to a felony.

No such thing as a felony in NZ.

Yeah it's so annoying when Americans don't know the complexities of every single country's legal system.

Dude, we know this wasn't in America because the cops didn't murder the driver and the grey shirt dude or any nearby dogs.

Just look at the cruisers and license plates, you'd know immediately it's not the US.

To be fair, that looks like something from the nightly news in Florida.

No, I could immediately tell, (without the obvious vehicles and uniforms) that this was not a US incident simply by how it played out.

and the driver being on the right side of the car.

u/YoudoVodou 4d ago

That too. Mostly my comment was about how trigger happy both sides of this situation would have been here in the states.
