    This is so stupid. Create an event where you pass out turkeys. Don’t induce panic and fear in order to trick people.https://twitter.com/abcworldnews/status/932008452024684544 …

        This is the sickness that is police culture. They don't even understand that many people are deathly afraid of any encounter with law enforcement. #cluelesscops

        They're trying to show themselves in a different, better light & you complain? These ppl had legitimate reasons to be pulled over but didn't get ticketed.

        Not complaining but rather making an observation on how some officers do not understand the fear that their presence creates and the climate that we are in as a nation when it comes to police/community relations.

        And if you are wondering, I have been pulled over for a minor traffic issue and had an officer draw his weapon on me. This is a reality in America.

        Hey, from an American Norwegian to a Norwegian: this show your lack of knowledge/exposure to the American racial experience. Police end up ticketed / shooting persons of color at 3x the rate of white folks. And either you understand why & that it's screwed up or...

        You're misunderstanding then. The fact that it happens at 300%+ rate for a specific group is not ok. This stuff gets innocent folks shot/killed by the police here, on the regular. So it's no joking matter to pull someone over and be like "GIFT!". It's terrifying.

        Why not also accost people in dark alleyways late at night to give them bouquets of flowers?
