Yes, since they were telling him to do that.  Imagine if he had just announced he was undoing his seat belt,  done so, opened the door, and gotten out slowly with his hands in view.  It isn't complicated nor difficult. [b]they told him both to show his hands AND unbuckle his seatbelt, which would have meant potentially reaching for a gun...conflicting "orders" what was he supposed to do? And why is there a presumption of malfeasance? If he were white, they would not have pulled him over, much less charged his car with guns showing[/b]

Arguing with the cops is stupid.

You don't know what they think they are doing.  You may be innocent.   [b]Maybe the cops have the wrong guy[/b]...but if the guy they are looking for just shot some people,  they are going to be ready for the worst.  [b]maybe? they pulled over a guy in uniform[/b]

So lose the attitude.  Don't play lawyer and tell the cops what they are allowed to direct you to do. (Especially when you are wrong. ) Don't argue.  Don't resist them.

Just do as directed,  slowly,  and keep your hands in view.

cletus and barney were in the wrong, their conduct was not that of "protect and defend" - it was aggressive and needlessly hostile.

Why do you think they even knew his race when they pulled him over?

This is what is sad about the level of discourse we have today on race.

People are just desperate to insert it into anything and everything, regardless of whether there is any evidence it was a factor at all.

(And being in uniform changes what exactly?  Do you think soldiers don't commit crimes?  I have some bad news for you...)[/quote]
