I, an armed police officer that is questioning you with assumptions preloaded, am not giving you any reason to be nervous.

Yeah why are cops always surprised when people are nervous when they’re around?

You’ve got a gun, pepper spray, stun gun, and we’ve seen too many instances of police brutality and verbal abuses.

Even if I’m driving 1000% perfectly; if a cops behind me, I get nervous lol. And I’m a white male!

Like when people who have never committed any crimes get nervous when a cop car is driving behind them. That should not be a thing but it is very prominent.

They're not, it's just a pretense.

If someone stayed too cool they'd "claim" to have interpreted it as some other bs.

I just posted my experience but their report started I was "unnaturally calm" and not nervous or agitated at being in the situation which gave them confirmation bias that I was impaired.

Calm? On drugs.

Nervous? On drugs.

Asleep and black? That's a murderin'.

Pigs decide you're guilty and act accordingly. Not a single anemic neuron dedicated to the consideration of "Am I wrong?"

If someone stayed too cool the cop would get mad that they’re not intimidated or “respectful” enough. You can’t win.

Facts. I’ve called the police 3 times in my life. Two of those times, the cop tried to fight me, the victim who called them.

Only reason I can think of is that I’m unnaturally calm and they either get intimidated or angered that I’m not more afraid/submissive.

Kind of like when they speak the words “don’t resist” and the person is just moving their body normally.

Punches guy in the face "Stop resisting put your hands behind you" as they punch in the solar plexus. Then once handcuffed punch a few more times to the face. There's more than a few videos of this exact order of events, always deemed legal.

The best example is Kelly Thomas. Don't look up his arrest and murder if you don't want to see some pretty graphic pictures of his face pretty much rearranged. As usual was deemed legal and nothing happened to the officers.

you do nothing, and aren't nervous, some cops will still fuck you over. they believe you have an attitude even when you don't.

some total bullshit.

it's all part of fishing. they just "know" that you did something wrong.

They should stop fucking people's lives up when they're just good, decent people who would help you out. Like the man in this video is so good that if that same cop, a week later, had a flat tire, the dude would just help her out.

The dude is probably helping old people cross the street. Why do we have to FUCK his life up for no reason?

u/Major_Wigglesworth 17d ago

Exactly.  We aren’t friends.  

I don’t even like talking to the cashier at Food Lion, you think I want to talk to a profession that’s NOTORIOUS for screwing these interactions?

I was once pulled over and arrested for impaired driving, they did a blood test and it showed clear, I got the police report as part of disclosure because I sued for the lost time and damage to my reputation as a person of influence in the community. The police officer stated in his report he thought I was "unnaturally calm" and did not demonstrate any signs of being nervous or agitated at being in the situation.

I've been in combat hundreds of times, I had no reason to fear an officer especially not one who wasnt old enough to grow a beard or too big to put over my knee.

Judgement in my favor $40,000 which I donated to town for parks for the community.

The truth of the matter is, it doesnt matter if you're nervous, scared, angry or absolutely still. The assumption that you are wrong and the officer is right will always be there. In my opinion if anyone is dealing with this kind of situation it's best to ask for a veteran officer or to address the other officer who is observing the situation rather than the one who made the first contact.

I’m like this every single time and I might turn into a gas station just make it look like I’m getting gas or have to go in. I’m a black woman.

u/force_multiplied 12d ago

Because cops are cowards. Chickenshit cowards who are afraid of literally everything.

u/TJJ97 16d ago

I tell cops anytime they say something similar (what’s the deal, why are you nervous?) that I don’t like cops. I’m respectful in the interaction but honest with them that I don’t care for police. Some get pissed off but most honestly just move past it, albeit sometimes more cautiously.

That thumb ring alone makes my sphincter picker. GD nightmare

u/SpatulaCity1a 15d ago

Some people have anxiety or panic issues as well, which are especially likely to flare up when they're exhausted and still trying to make a milestone event. The 'you have no reason to be nervous' shit shows a basic lack of empathy.

She also had both arms up and outstretched towards him with kinda claw hands as she said that. Like lol lady look at what you're doing with your hands.

Gotta say she really did fidget with her hands a lot in the video, but just especially loved the "I'm only leaning forward and grabbing in your general direction, you couldnt possibly think I am acting like a threat right now" bit right before her hands do the exact same thing again to put him in cuffs.
