I mean, one, the police union official is doing his job, right? That’s what all police officials are going to do in this case. They’re going to stand up for their own.
But this idea that, if you don’t comply, if you don’t follow their orders, they can exact violence on you, that’s not part of the job, right? They have a lot of leeway as police Officers. They have qualified immunity. They can get them out of lawsuits. They have powers from the state to shoot and kill people without really any recourse.
They get paid a salary that is much higher than most public service, not to mention the overtime that Officers like that would get from working those games. So the least that they could do is not — the least that they could do is de-escalate situations. That’s all we’re asking them to do.
And they’re saying that, if you don’t comply with this, if you don’t — if you try to escalate the situation, we will go even further to a point of violently snatching you out of your car, putting you face first into the pavement, driving your — my kneecap into your back and arresting you, just for, again, like you said, a traffic violation.
