The cop was a total dick. He's one example of why folks either don't trust or don't like cops.

More importantly, what does it say about us that of all the videos of police abuse, only the 1 with a white victim inspires huge outrage?

Have u heard of Daniel Shaver? Not before you google it. Not many have. Look it up. Tell me y he isn't front page news. I know why. White

Hi Amy: I'm wondering if you explored in any detail with the police why they thought the law was on their side?
-
Specifically did you look into the legal concepts and requirements of "covered service", "implied consent" and "mandatory testing"?
-
Holders of Commerical Driver's Licenses are in "covered service" & required to abide by federal drug testing regulations after accidents.
-
These requirements are outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations: 49 CFR 382.303.https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/382.303 …
-
All holders of a CDL involved in a fatal crash regardless of fault are mandated to be blood tested for alcohol and drugs.
-
The driver gives his "implied consent" to testing by the fact of holding a CDL & engaging in the trucking business. No warrant is required.
-
This is spelled out here: "Consent is implied by driving a commercial motor vehicle."https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/383.72 …
-
Interesting questions here are who the trucker's employer is (was he owner-operator?) & how mandatory testing works w/ unconscious subject.

Amy, well done. I would add, the policeman was so out of control, others attempt to check his behavior might have caused greater harm...

... what is the difference between the US and an ordinary police state? The police state is an equal opportunity suppressor, (anonymus).

Not much difference in this story
