Does anyone have the vehicle camera from the start of lights on to when the rookie cop got out of his vehicle? Curious of the timeline.

I'm curious why they said it was Felony stop at about 1 min in.


This.


By why did he say that. Is there something we don't know yet? I would think if it was a felony stop police might come in with guns drawn.


There is another video that has the start of the rookie cop getting out of his car, he hardly hits the ground and is calling it a felony stop and draws his gun. I haven't seen anything that indicates that. If the guy drove for 10 minutes, then hey have your guns drawn. If the guy drove a minute at a reasonable speed, didn't pass any other well let gas stations as this one, well come on now rookie, you really screwed this up from the get go. Then Barney Fife comes roaring in with "lightning".


Correct. That kid (fresh out of academy?) is literary shaking, dear in the headlights look and behavior.
I would fear for my life too.
There are many of these JĂĽnglings on the force that have no business policing.
Witness it around here too. They maybe smart and well adjusted, but may not be cut out for high stress, high emotional situations, even with all the best training.

And then senior shows up and without debrief shows the kid how it’s done.
Training and character testing on the job with citizens being the test subjects.

Goes ok most of the time, but now and then they make potentially grave and deadly mistakes (taser vs gun).
