Impatient Indiana Police Officer
- Thread starter mlapaglia
- Start date
What, is he pissing behind that vehicle or something (seconds from the end of the video)? I can't tell.
Nothing about that car tells me undercover officer. What is the giveaway?
@mlapaglia: Tsk, tsk, tsk. If there's an 11th commandment, it's do not question authority, or accuse it of wrongdoing. Why is it that cops can dish out lectures and verbal lashings to civy's all day long, but when one points out a possible impatient cop, it's inappropriate and so rage-inducing?
Mr Indiana cop: do you really think that unless we non-badge-holding civy's drive perfectly (never speeding, always using our turn signals, never rolling stop signs, etc) we don't have the right to point out misbehaving LEOs? Because I have dozens of dash camera videos of cops doing all of those things in (un)marked vehicles, while in out-of-county (or out-of-jurisdiction) locations. By your own admission, none of those cops should have the right to point out bad driving of others, right?
Why are cops such delicate wall flowers, with white shoes that get scuffed at anything that isn't praise and fawning? Respect is a two-way street, and unfortunately, your profession attracts too many power-hungry 'rules-don't-apply-to-me' types. And while that's bad, what's worse is the inability of the 'good cops' to purge their ranks of those that give the all the rest a black eye.

I have to agree with zero here. I didn't even know that car was supposed to be the subject of the video until someone said so. It just seemed like fairly normal driving.
I'm not taking sides on whether the OP's video was or wasn't a cop. It's just that anytime someone posts anything that is anything less than praise for a cop, cops and their supporters go on the offense. It's almost cult-like.
Ok, let's take this from the top, shall we? A guy posts a nondescript link titled "Impatient Indiana Police Officer". That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. No narrative, nothing that claims to be cop-bashing "day in and day out". Just that video. If you click through to the description on the actual YT video, he has this:
Did he tailgate: I would say yes - as the wide angle lens has a way of distorting distance - but that is subjective
Did he cut off the school bus: Again, to me it certainly looked like it was closer than it should have been.
Did he slow down for the worker on the side of the road: no.
To qualify whether the driver of the Charger was driving recklessly, I would simply ask this: If a cop witnessed a civilian driving in the same manner, would that have resulted in a traffic stop. In my opinion, YES. But again, that is subjective.
Then, the accusations of wrong doing of the OP start... Even though you have no concrete proof the OP was the one who filmed this (certainly no more than he had proof it was a cop):
Attack #3 - telling him to take his s* somewhere else
Attack #5 - you DEOXED the poster. You don't know if he's the cammer, and yet you feel you have to post his name? Class act.
Attack #7 - more deoxing revealing what Matt does for a living
Attack #8 - more belittling of his video and claims.
So, by my count, no less than 8 different attacks on the OP for simply posting a video - which as you even admitted, may not even be a cop? That is the very definition of going on the offense for a rather trivial post, no?
And as far as this extending beyond this video... When you so eloquently underscore your support for LEOs by regurgitating the overly used cliche "Cops risk their life day in and day out kissing their families for what could be the last time every time they walk out the door to goto work...", well, that just rubs ME wrong. It implies that because they have a perceived risky job (LEO work is actually much safer compared to most industrial jobs), they should be afforded more leeway/slack in how they behave in public. On the contrary. Cops should be held not just to a higher standard, but to the HIGHEST standard.
Again, I'm not saying the driver of the charger was or wasn't a cop. But I certainly thought your reaction to the claim that it was, was overly harsh and irrational.
Was it a police officer: Probably, but we don't know (either way)
Did he tailgate: I would say yes - as the wide angle lens has a way of distorting distance - but that is subjective
Did he cut off the school bus: Again, to me it certainly looked like it was closer than it should have been.
Did he slow down for the worker on the side of the road: no.

First attack.
Then, the accusations of wrong doing of the OP start... Even though you have no concrete proof the OP was the one who filmed this (certainly no more than he had proof it was a cop):
Not only do you imply he was the cammer, but you claim to know what happened after the video ended - both suggestions are implying negative actions on the part of the cammer.
Attack #2 - calling him an ass.
Attack #3 - telling him to take his s* somewhere else
Attack #4 - his post is BS and has no merit (even though you claim he's 'spotlighting' a cop - who might not actually be a cop? - can't have it both ways).
Attack #5 - you DEOXED the poster. You don't know if he's the cammer, and yet you feel you have to post his name? Class act.
Attack #6 - Calling his description BS
Attack #7 - more deoxing revealing what Matt does for a living
Attack #8 - more belittling of his video and claims.
So, by my count, no less than 8 different attacks on the OP for simply posting a video - which as you even admitted, may not even be a cop? That is the very definition of going on the offense for a rather trivial post, no?

I would call tailing other cars for several minutes (including a school bus) then merging across three lanes of traffic without signaling reckless.
You can't see it clearly in the video, but he has a ISP license plate.
Sorry I got so many panties twisted

Meh thats 90/94 going into IL near gary I'm going to say no it wasn't the police no antennas on the roof or the trunk where they commonly have them. I would say its the local area thugs as its a common choice of car for them driving like they normally do in that stretch like mother F@c@ers
