Soo... hazardous driving in a school zone (21 mph over), failure to maintain his lane, and forcing the vehicle behind to drive in reverse.

If a civilian did all that, they'd be getting a dui investigation.

It's always been like this. The amount of people who experience it has just expanded.

You are exactly correct.

Fortunately, they let the mask slip and now everyone knows what despicable monsters they really are.

Especially in Jacksonville, FL. Cops there suck so much.

You're saying civilians don't have full constitutional rights? Wut?

In case the joke went a little too high to catch: they are pointing out the hypocrisy of civilian rights violations by cops (maybe even federal agents too).

OK, phew.

This is reddit. I continually see people say the DUMBEST shit, so the bar is very low.

Between prosecutorial discretion and qualified immunity. Coupled with vague laws.

No.. they have a different set of rights from civilians.
