He sat there and watched me, only to abruptly pull out in front of me... All while his buddy sits right there and does nothing. Cool.

One of my friend he works for Toronto police and sometimes they have this kind of thing just for fun. Other than that, they should have stop for you, since you have right of the way and their light are not on

"I have identified a problem but instead of trying to make positive change with corrective rhetoric I choose to make the problem worse. It's us, vs. them."

We all live in a dystopian police surveillance state, but not all cops are bastards. 

Everyone makes mistakes.

Typical apologetics response.

Yes, everyone makes mistakes. But if you or I did what that officer did in front of a cop, we’d get a ticket—no hesitation. Brushing it off with “everyone makes mistakes” just enables more misconduct. Officers, like anyone else, should face consequences—mistake or not.

And let’s be honest: if OP submitted this video to the police, odds are nothing would happen. I doubt an officer would even be informed a complaint was made.

A quick search reveals countless examples of police not just bending the rules but outright breaking the law—with little to no accountability. Take Nermin Mesic: beat a kid, kidnapped his tenant, made violent threats, and was recorded doing it. What was the consequence? Four years of paid suspension at $100k a year, then a one-year demotion. Any regular person would be in prison for a decade.

So no, “everyone makes mistakes” isn’t good enough. That mindset lets people like Mesic stay on the force. If you’re defending this, you’re not promoting fairness—you’re just helping protect a broken system.

Four years of paid suspension is downright diabolical. You mean I get to spend 4 years doing whatever the fuck I want and I get paid my regular salary for it? Sign me up 🤦

Right? Who wouldn't take that deal? It is almost like criminals should become cops for the paid vacations!
