This kid was coached to that, probably from the same website from which the story is linked. It's a dangerous game to play.
.
I would wager it was from his old man who was also a police officer. My father's side of the family is all in law enforcement and gave us plenty of advice on what to do and not to do in police encounters.
My dad was a cop. Told me to just say "Yes, Sir. No, Sir." And then shut the f*ck up in his words. Told me even I am right and think the stop / arrest or whatever is BS, just deal with it AFTERWARDS. Arguing with a cop on the side of the road is an argument you cannot and won't win.
So you would just let them rip you out of your car and arrest you without ever even saying why and knowing you had done nothing wrong?
Yep sounds like you are trained just how they want us trained . Just shutup and do what I say.
If you get out of the car, and obey what they say, there will be no "ripping out of the car".
I'd cooperate and then, if need be, collect my 6 million.
If he asked me to get out of the car I would ask why what did I do.
Just like this kid did. It took the cop all of another 30 seconds to escalate to violence.
When a cop pulls you over for nothing , you ask why you were pulled over . This kid had no idea why he was even pulled over much less asked to get out of the car

Interesting. So it sounds like a personal grudge/retaliation?
Not a random stop.

That's the way that the story reads, which makes it even worse because the premise of pulling him over because of the warrant associated with the license plate is utter garbage. This officer was harassing this kid, plain and simple, knowing exactly who he was the whole time.

I have to laugh at your outrage and lack of level headedness
suspect that attitudes like yours, are probably why people get their asses kicked by the side of the road in the first place.
I would like to think that with all the cameras and phones around,things like this happen a little less then they did 20 years ago?
These cop hater threads are always amusing.

It's sad people cannot even be in a traffic stop without being jerks. The same reason the driver is afraid is the same for the officers. You reach down and pick a gun and shot him.

We must have watched different videos. I heard the cop ask a couple times and then go to the other side and ask then demand again. For being a cops son, this kid should've known better.

The kid wasn't arguing, the cop lost his s*** which is obvious by the sentence and judgement. Telling some asshat that your window doesn't roll all the way down is not arguing, neither is asking if you're under arrest when they attempt, for no good reason, to drag you from your vehicle.

This officer committed an egregious crime.
Believe it or not it's possible to say that while not implicating all police officers.
Im respectful to officers in the rare incidents I've been pulled over. I've never had an issue with one.
That said, it's your right to be a smartass even if I disagree with it or don't engage in it. It's their job to follow the procedure. I applaud the men and women who are officers and have to put up with that.
But they don't have the right to use unnecessary force. Remember, they signed up and were not drafted. They get compensated (not enough) for their work.
I defend the good guys and call out the bad ones, and sometimes I'm wrong.
But not here, this cop deserved more than 4 years if the victim wasn't a minor.... But he was, so he deserves way more.
