I know right...and the cops said you don't work for the post office so you cannot park your van like that to drop off a package.
WTF??? Have they ever seen a FEDEX or UPS truck pull over to run a package in to a door step?

Here is an updated article that tells a more complete version of the story. It is easy to see why Spike did not put this version here despite it being available, as it doesn't show the story in the light he is hoping:
During the press conference, officers played dashcam footage from the incident yesterday. In it, an officer's squad car is seen driving toward a delivery truck parked facing a different direction. When he gets out, the officer walks over to the man standing on the lawn adjacent to the parked vehicle.
"Why are you on the wrong side of the road? You're not Post Office, you don't drive on the wrong side of the road," said the officer.
The man responds saying he's working and refers to the situation as "BS." After the officer requests to see the man's driver's license, the two continue to argue over the classification of the Amazon truck operating as a postal vehicle.
"You gonna give me a ticket for this Bullsh*t?" says the driver.
"I'm going to give you a whole lot more if you don't get your license out," replies the officer.
Dwyer said the officer requested the delivery man's license 11 times before the confrontation appears to escalate. As the officer reaches for the man's arms, the driver thrashes away, saying he'll get his license out. The officer continues to make the arrest.
At this point, while audio is still be recorded the two individuals are now offscreen from the dashcam footage. Neighbors hearing the commotion exit their houses and can be heard trying to calm the driver. He was eventually placed in the back of a squad car and another Amazon employee arrived and drove the delivery truck away.

So essentially we have a driver who parked on the wrong side of the road. A traffic cop stops and asks him to see his license (which is what you do when you have a traffic violation) and the guy essentially ignores the request - eleven times - and is then arrested for doing so. The cop follows all protocols (from the dash cam video) and neighbors come out afterwards and make a judgment call, just like Ocho did based on limited evidence.
I know, this is being a cop apologist in your eyes.
Warren Mayor Jim Fouts also chimed in after seeing the user video, calling for the officer's firing. However, he deleted the post shortly after meeting with the police commissioner.
Yeah, he deleted the tweet because he saw the dash cam and realized that the cop did his job.
Dwyer said the driver "probably would have gotten a warning" if he had shown his driver's license when the officer asked. He declined to say if the officer should have stopped trying to arrest the man once he said he would take his license out.
Right. Moral of the story, when asked to produce your driver's licence for a traffic violation - fucking produce it.
That's your opinion, mine is different.
Some racial discrimination is "normal", it's done by every racial group. Trying to fight against it is a losing fight. I don't see any especially harsh treatment of blacks, it corresponds well to crime rates.
The point of protesting now has long been lost, as I said, it's fun and entertaining, release of stress for the protesters. And everything I'm seeing is about BLM and other nonsense, not police power abuse.
I agree. I think this is because of several factors - both of which probably need some sort of adjustment. First, the police unions. They exert pressure to clear the officer. They need to be reconstructed and be made to keep out of it. Unions in general are a problem, and the police union is one of the worst.
Second, if officers know everything they do is likely to be scrutinized and challenged, or worse, if they are going to be sacrificed on the altar of political gain (which, in today's world isn't a stretch) then you might have a real hard time getting people to be police.
I'm not saying it is right. Just why I suspect that it is.
Let me tell you how I have seen this go down in person numerous times in NYC or in various other downtown areas with a delivery truck and a driver running in to drop off something.
"Excuse me, you cannot park your van on the wrong side of the road, can you please move it..."
ANd please find me the law that says Post Office vehicles are ALLOWED to drive on the wrong side the road but the Amazon car is not???
ALSO LOOK AT THE VIDEO!
His small van is parked over next to the curb and not blocking traffic at all and it is a street with few spaces to pull over to deliver and he is not allowed to go in any one's driveways so he found a safe place to pull over to do his deliveries.
The cop acted like an asshole
And how many times when you see this in NYC or other downtown areas does the person who is asked for their licence or asked to comply tells the officer to fuck off or ignores them? And in those cases, what happens to them?
You act as if the officer got out of the cruiser and immediately jumped the kid, threw him on the ground and cuffed him. That is absolutely not what happened according to the video.
Oh, and while completely irrelevant to this conversation, you might want to look up on how the Postal Service is not subject to local traffic laws. Just sayin',
He did not tell the officer to fuck off Stephen King..
parking your van safely on the side of the road to make a delivery is not a traffic violation worthy of arrest
No, he didn't say the actual words "fuck off". Apparently he disregarded the officer's request and said "this is bullshit". Irrelevant completely. If you are stopped for a traffic violation, if you are detained for a parking violation and you refuse to comply with requests to produce a valid driver's license - or even if your license is expired or suspended, you can be arrested. End of story, dude.
Or should we all just disregard cops now when they tell us to do things? Should we? Curious to your answer. Will you tell the next cop who stops you for something that this is bullshit and you aren't going to comply?
Look, you asked me why I was saying people were all going to defend the cop immediately and you have done that in every one of your posts.
The guy was dropping off a package and pulled his van over to a safe spot in the road so he did not have to cross the road with packages in his hand and not block traffic.
The cop figured he could show off his gun muscles and demand the license and then tackle him when he did not get on his knees and suck his dick.
