Now here's one that should cause a stir

This officer gets infuriated after being confronted with the suggestion that he broke the law!

A couple of ex-cops stop an officer on duty in Concordia Parish, Louisiana after they witnessed someone in the police officer’s car throw trash out of the window.

The Louisiana police officer, identified as Officer Lee Williams, was on Highway 425 in North Louisiana when the ex-cops wanted to tell him that it isn’t right that he is breaking the law.

to post because of it content. One could say the ex-cops are racists or just looking to pick a fight. Or like yourself you choose to see the litter aspect. Two sides, that is life. We need to be.......liberal and open minded and not fear going against the grain every now and then.

about a couple of ex-cops breaking up an incident where a cop is about to shoot an unarmed, nonthreatening compliant suspect.

I wasn't going to post because I could see both sides. But then again we should not be afraid to tackle tough subjects like this one presents. I not a follower or a leader, I just want to find some kind of common ground we all can agree upon. We are in trouble times and I do this for my children cause I truly fear for them and their future in this land of the free. Thank you for your reply.

excuse for it, especially from grown people. Especially from those who are supposed to be upholding the law.
You would really have to be a really selfish and lazy person to litter. And there is sure a lot of it around, still.

I can't say if these people did this to be racist. I would like to think that they did it because it shows that cops are, too often, acting as they are above the law. Even in this case, which many may see as something minor. What if some kid saw the cop littering? What does that teach kids? That littering is okay, and that some people are above the laws.
I made a big deal out of teaching my kids not to litter, and I would be mad if some cop littered and the kids saw it.

I am wondering now, and the thread yesterday about "citizen journalists" has got me thinking, would these men have stopped to talk to the cop if they had not had a camera?

Lots of things to think about here. But mainly littering is a big no no, and there is no excuse for it.

with my father in law on his boat and he would toss wrappers and such into the water. I would grab the net and scoop it up and he would say why bother a lot of people do it. I would reply that does not mean we have to and I'll pick it out of the water if I can. I tell him we eat these fish, do you crap in your own vegetable garden?

of sorts between the police officers instead of racism. either way IMO it is good video to have a discussion about.
