I somewhat agree with you. Although I can’t definitively blame GF’s death on the drugs he had in his system I cannot discount the fact that he had a lot of drugs mixed into the situation. I am law abiding and the last time I was pulled over for speeding I was shaking in my boots. I can’t imagine how I would feel in a similar circumstance but if engaged in the use of fentanyl and meth I would panic too.
I had never been in trouble with police, arrested or done anything illegal, but I was taken for questioning by police once when I was quite drunk, as I ‘fit the description of someone who had been selling drugs’ when I was out with friends at an event.
I completely freaked out, was aggressive, shouting, crying. I’m usually a shy, quiet, calm person but panicked & made the situation worse for myself. And that was just from alcohol, plus the annoyance at my day being abruptly ended. (It was a nice sunny day and we don’t get many of them in the UK!) Now I look back so embarrassed and I would never have thought that’s how I’d react in such a situation.
But if you are under an influence, unaware you’ve done anything wrong & your day is suddenly doing a complete 180 turn... Plus GF also had a gun pointed at him, had been shot before, had past experiences with police. I can understand him getting so worked up.
Still, worked up or not, the actions of LE in those videos were completely unnecessary and inhumane. DC looks cold and callous. Agree with previous posters - it looks like he is more concerned with ‘saving face’, enjoying his power not only over GF but the crowd, working them up, and defiant against them. Taos attitude towards drug users is shameful.
All MOO - didn’t intend for such a long post either!
