    The people here who are crying are not crying because they got a damn turkey. They are crying because of the fear cops induce. It’s an abuse of power.https://twitter.com/abcworldnews/status/932008452024684544 …

        Except Shaun is right here. I don’t doubt the officers had good intentions, but they scared these people to death. This isn’t okay.

        Completely agree with you. We have to stop trying to find wrong even when repairs are being made.

        My first thought was that too but pulling someone over is a harm, that harm is Justified buy a broken law. Thus this is an illegal stop.

        So they are randomly giving people who are breaking the rules turkeys? Is that better? Randomly redistributing resources from the government

        Lol, these ppl were pulled over for actual traffic violations. They literally broke traffic laws. They got a turkey instead of a ticket. Not seeing the big deal here.
