    I’d rather most stops were more like his, if I’m to be honest. Meaning, treating the person as if they are a human (even if the guy does come off like an entitled douche). I have a feeling if it was him pulling over someone brown, it might look like some of the clips I’ve seen Meidas posting, where ICE is ripping open a car door and pulling people out of a car, getting them on the ground, etc. I have a feeling these guys were being more than deferential because of what his job was.

    This guy was actually doing something dangerous in his case - driving under the influence. Granted, I don’t know the full context of those ICE videos I’ve seen short clips of, but it sure seems they are escalating things rather quickly and only because they are brown. Do these people really need to be hauled out of their car, wrestled to the ground, etc.?
