In relation to the OP, it is my low skill, uneducated belief that when the majority of interactions between evererday, law abiding citizens and Leo’s are over nonsense, non-violent traffic laws it creates a “us vs them” mentality thus making it very easy for the general public to view the cop in this video as the bad guy.
Why would you care if someone was wearing their seatbelt? Do you express concern/steal money from people who ride motorcycles or camp in grizzly country.

Maybe that “sheep” (Shepard) is tired of seeing brains steaming on the guardrail at a few offenders accident location or an open phone with a half typed text at the scene of a fatal accident. I pretty much don’t care if someone uses their seatbelt but I do think it is selfish to expect the first responder to clean up your brains from the windshield, dashboard, roadway etc. or take the life of another because of a text while driving. As to the OP post I didn’t watch it. As to First responders, they don’t even have to witness these things personally. They can just be exposed to the details by a pouring out of emotions of a co-worker. When it’s that raw it is difficult to not absorb it. Not that I personally know anything about it. Sorry for the hijack...
