Traffic Stop With a Punch: Police Brutality or Just Desserts?
Social media is an all-you-can-eat buffet for connoisseurs of belligerent motorists and shoppers who won’t produce their licenses for cops, and who won’t leave stores when asked to by the proprietor.
Oh, who am I kidding? They’re not simply motorists and shoppers, they’re specifically black motorists and shoppers. There are so many of these videos every day that there ought to be a name for the genre. It is impossible not to notice that it’s specifically black Americans engaging in this bad behavior, because it is disproportionately black Americans who believe they’re entitled to do anything they want with no consequences.
For anyone 40 or older, this is shocking because it does not comport with the behavior of our fellow American blacks that we remember from childhood. Worse, people don’t want to admit that they notice that it’s bad black behavior, because they’ll be accused of “racism.”
And that’s why there’s so much of it. Black Americans have been elevated to “protected class” status for decades, which has had the effect of insulating dark-skinned people from being accountable for basic manners and behavior that the rest of us have to abide by.
Americans have been lectured constantly since the 1960s about racism and alleged “police brutality” that many cops today are leary of enforcing the law when the subject is black. Will they be called a murderer if they defend themselves against a black woman trying to kill them? Will they be sued by the Department of Justice for not allowing black people to engage in lawlessness?
You’ve probably seen a few videos of black motorists being pulled over for traffic infractions that have turned into 40–minute ordeals. “What I have did? What I have did? What I have did?” the subjects “ask” disingenuously, as if they don’t understand that speeding is illegal. It’s quite obvious that the majority of these misbehaving motorists are trying to set up a “civil rights” lawsuit. And why wouldn’t they? Blacks get away with false claims of racist abuse all the time. It’s a minor miracle that actor Jussie Smollett received any consequences at all for his race-beating hoax.
But this video is one for the records. Cops pulled over the driver for failing to have his headlights on in “inclement weather,” and for not wearing his seatbelt. The driver pulls the usual routine. He disobeys the police order to hand over his license and insurance, closes his window, demands that the cop call his “supervisor,” and resists arrest.
The cops had enough and busted his window open after delivering seven (count them) verbal warnings. What has social media people up in arms is the fact that one of the cops slapped the driver, then punched him. They don’t seem upset that he was thrashing around and menacing the police as they tried to subdue him.

Opinion on X/Twitter was split. Many people were unbothered by the cops hitting the driver, saying he had it coming:
Yeah that dude brought the whole thing on himself. It was easily avoidable.

They are disrespectful and disobedient.
Then they play victim.
If you resist arrest, you deserve to get beaten up.

Mandating police body cams is the worst thing that ever happened to the BLM movement

Others thought the cops went too far:
The police were wrong. This video and the video he posted show that. The police didn’t need to punch him in the face repeatedly during this encounter

I don’t think it’s the car window smash that was the issue. It was the officer hitting the driver in the head.
The driver obviously should’ve complied with the police. But the cop used ridiculous force to the head.
Both driver and cop did bad here.
