Context: a woman got in a car accident and a motorcycle policeman showed up. When she left her car tell him what had happened, he pulled his gun on her to. - REDDIT
Any DU Cleveland residents have anymore info on this?

(65,401 posts)It is funny to see how many reporters and TV stations (or their stringers) post to ask her to call them or otherwise contact them. (Including FOX and CNN.)
Forgot to give you the link:

One poster suggested the establishment is trying to force a mass confrontation. The evidence backs this up considering the militarization of police around the nation and violent unnecessary action taken by the cops.

Yeah, we've got our share of twitchy cop problems here, too, as the recent Tamir Rice killing and murder-by-cop-swarm sadly attest.
Makes me sick.

(2,672 posts)Pull out a gun at a car accident? What the fuck is the matter with them? Ultra-paranoid. They see an African-American and they act like they're seeing a crime in progress. Racist scumbags.
Fuck The Police!

(2,841 posts)Kind of makes me queasy for some reason, like they're so eager to report it. I'm not saying reporting it would be a bad thing but the media frenzy of it kind of looks like they want to stir the pot sort to speak. JS

(16,199 posts)Not that I agree with pointing a gun, but it appears this car was involved in several hit and runs and was trying to push past the truck. As the cop rode up to apprehend the occupants, the occupants got out and the cop responded to force the women back into the car for arrest.
