      Cops are going to follow the law. There's always exceptions, but it's an outside chance if you are respectful and compliant. You mentioning some imaginary lawyer isn't going to prevent that if you've broken the law.

      I'm not sure why more people don't watch these News Shows specials. Maybe because someone came with the slogan fake News. But there was a piece about this same type of police unit, that were targeting Black Americans, violating human and civil rights. Some officers went to prison and others were fired.

They were trying to issue tickets from their defective police cruiser. I actually pled
      not guilty & requested them in court. They No-Showed, case dismissed. Years later, they were both proven liars, one tossed off the force for a killing, one tossed for lying. Bad Cops. Only the citizenry notices they are bad first, the people who make their living off fines do not know anything. Till horrible stuff happens. Request these monsters in court. Give them nothing. Funny thing, Keller still works as a cop, in my hometown. lol.

      @@The-downfall: Those cops went too far with what they did. Those cops were acting like a street gang. How come White school shooters tend to get taken in alive, but Black people have to pray for that to happen when something as simple as a traffic stop occurs? We both know that too many cops feel that they can do whatever they want to whomever they want without consequences. Qualified immunity has protected crooked cops.

    His mentor said he prayed with one of the officers. The officer should've prayed before he went to work that night. God would've never told him to murder or shed innocent blood. Who knows how deep this goes and how long they've been terrorists in the community. RIP Tyre . Vengeance belongs to the Lord🙏🏽
