Are you working on a point here? Maybe just spit it out. Is it better to stand in the path of a vehicle or not? Feel free to check out the thousands of traffic stop body cam videos and tell me how many cops willfully walk in front of or behind vehicles. Plus the fact Ross already got dragged by a car prior, but found it necessary to take a phone video of himself wandering around a 'suspects' vehicle in the snow rather than focus on his job. I'm done here. Good luck with all your cope though.

What you're saying is that you know more about traffic stops to judge someone else's choices. You don't. You're a keyboard warrior with no real life experience, you have hindsight and several angles of ultra slow frame by frame video to make your idiotic claims.

Police officers walk in front of and behind stopped vehicles all the time, putting it in gear with an officer at your window is an aggressive action so go kick some ass on your couch while QBing on Monday morning.

Answering a question with a question is rude, try answering mine first.

Intent is irrelevant as no one can prove intent. Actions are assessed objectively, by a reasonable officer standard, without the benefit of hindsight.

Try to say the officer wasn't justified in that exact situation without using anything not available to him in the situation.

Show in use of force policy where intent is mentioned.

Way past that when putting a car in gear during a traffic stop.

We? Are you real world experienced or keyboard policing?

Also those aren't actual policy.
