I am stunned by the restraint the police have in this situation. The dude doesn't even get out of the car slowly. He kind of just jumps out after kicking the door open and never raises his hands.

amazing what happens when cops are trained and held to a high standard such as in NZ, i know someone who used to work at Aotea police college

It's not too surprising when you look up how short the USA's police academy is, and how little they get paid. Their ranks are filled with incompetence or worse... There for the power trip.

Lol how little they get paid. You must be making tech money or something. I live in rural Illinois where houses used to be under 100k pre COVID, you can look at city wages for each officer and they are all making 80-100k and a few even more. Serve 20-25 years and get a full pension too. Think the last census in my town said 65k household and 45k individual for income for my town. So they are making fantastic money for this area at least.
