The Swamp

I just can't even fathom leaving the scene when an officer says you are under arrest. I was curious to read the comments, and I was surprised I didn't see any attacking the officer for escalating to violence or drawing his gun.

Here's the thing - they have her plate number, they could always get her car impounded once she got home.

Fuck, these guys love their guns don't they?

Don't get me wrong, she deserves the fines she's got coming, license suspension etc., but man, how do they train these guys?

I don't think he did anything wrong in the slightest. Quite possibly textbook.

Once she drove off, he is probably trained to assume that the person has a firearm with them and to draw as you approach. He quickly put the pistol back after she opened the door and he could see her hands, and then went to the taser when she tried to kick him. The perp really shouldn't matter.

So you won the duel with MacDuff and then brought the previous king and your best friend back from the dead?

Honestly, it may be the best video of its type I’ve ever seen. I’ve read about the Battle of Midway and seen documentaries and dramatizations and I never had any idea what was actually going on until I saw this. Part of why this works may be that it takes the Japanese perspective, meaning that the fog of war is on their end and you don’t see where the Americans are until they do. But I think the biggest thing is that this guy just knows how to present maps and graphics in a way that tells you what’s important without overwhelming the senses. The only problem is he seems to have quit without doing part 2.

Just watched this, and this is fantastic. Adding the "fog of war" aspect to it really makes it easier to understand why the Japanese did what they did.
