While absolutely and sadly true, something tells me that rogue banana drivers are not the ones most likely to be killed in a traffic stop.
Besides, his family would surely win the resulting case… on a peel.
- otterley 4mo agoWell done, sir. clap
- superkuh 4mo agoIt could never be against the police officer themselves due to qualified immunity. They are free to break the law however they wish. And that completely lack of accountability creates the risk inherent in every (US) police interaction.

- mminer237 3mo agoNo, if they violate a clearly defined right, you can often still sue them individually, although that's usually suboptimal as the government has deeper pockets.
- superkuh 3mo agoSuing them is not justice. Justice is them going to prison after being charged with and judged guilty of the crime.
- tremon 4mo ago> rogue banana drivers are not the ones most likely to be killed in a traffic stop ...until the bananas go brown, of course.
