I can't embed, but if you think you root for this team but think Cam and German did something to deserve this treatment, I don't want you rooting for Michigan anymore. Watch the video. Listen.
I have no real idea of the situation other than the video. What time was it? Where was it? Where do the occupants of the car live? Why did the police pull them over? What information did the police have at the time of the traffic stop? How were the car's occupants responding to the police? Did their behavior give the police any reason to be concerned?
Almost no one here shows any empathy for the police, what the police have to deal with on a daily basis, or how they're trained to respond to certain situations. That's unfortunate.
I have had maybe a 7-10 interactions with the police, mostly while driving, and one where I asked for their assistance. They were not especially friendly, nor rude. In each case, I saw them as mostly "doing their job". Just anecdotal, like all the comments here. I expect to get negged from this group. Don't care.
It will be interesting to see several if some of these cities, like Minneapolis, get rid of their police force and allow them to reinvent how they over see their communities. Let the social experiment begin.

Watching this video I got pissed when the cop said he was being arrested for speeding. Speeding is a civil infraction. People don't get arrested for speeding.
