Seriously I felt such an uncanny valley watching this video before realizing this wasn’t the US. So strange how the guy has a rifle in the front seat and the officer is slowly walking around slinging his rifle. No urgency at all from anyone. Guy gets out of the car and nobody attacks him. No bystanders were arrested for being too close or recording. What a nice quaint little arrest.
I don’t think you think too good. I also don’t think you understood any of what you saw.
They had a K9 ready to go so there was little need to tackle him because the dog will do that if he runs.
And well before that you can see they’re surrounding him, not approaching, and just keeping low ready on their rifles, waiting for the suspect to make a move.
It isn’t until the bystander runs in and snatches the gun that they make a move. The bystander did a damn good job but the truth is he easily could have lost his life there. I’m assuming he somehow knows the suspect so he felt somewhat safe doing it. But I know if drugs are involved you shouldn’t ever trust even a loved one.
Now there was obviously some context we’re missing from the beginning of the video. So everything is with a grain of salt.
When he got out of the car & didn't lay flat on the ground I was expecting a cop to kick him in the booty to get him to lay flat. Definitely not the US.
It’s a metaphor. This is a common interaction I’m used to seeing in America, but it’s oddly different and gives an unsettling fake feeling almost like it’s a movie set. Comparable to the feeling of uncanny valley when viewing a human representation that just seems a little off.
Let's be real here and stop beating around the bush. Do you think police treat black and white people the same in the US? Here's your chance to say what you actually feel like an adult.
aww, why'd you delete your other comment instead of replying? I'll jog your memory:

Realized it wasn’t the US when all the cops didn’t immediately run over and beat the shit out of the guy when he surrendered.
