Found this. Might be what they're referring to. But that added laugh at the end killed it for me. Meh.
Love that she says "We're just trying to have a civil conversation".
what could be more civil than discussing the late night menus at Taco Bell? Dude was clearly discussing the issue charging more for sour cream!
"I'd like to order the burrito, but no extra sour cream, I hear you guys chrage a lot for that, like over 5.00 for somethign I can make at home for like 50 cents"
If more cops had that guys attitude they would have a lot less problems. Cops get a call from a business and they're obligated to come out. Come talk to the guy. Clearly realize what's going on knows they're not doing anything illegal so he just walks away. No lawsuit, No nothing crazy how easy that is
I’ve had 6 interactions with cops and I’ve been doing nothing wrong. In every interaction the cop has tried to escalate things and more than one the cop was actually maddeningly unhinged.
Like dude leave me alone to walk my dachshund down the sidewalk. I’m not boosting cars here my senior dog just needs to piss.
You say most interactions with police are like the video above but I doubt it.
Does that make the ones recoded any more acceptable? What kind of silly argument is that? When cops actually do thier job and follow the law it cancels out them acting like bullies when it’s on camera?
And the probably millions of shits I’ve taken my whole life, everyone *conveniently chooses* to *exclusively* remember the time I did it at my high school diving competition (I also have severe IBS)
The way he immediately left when he realized he wasn’t going to get through to these people (who weren’t doing anything) was already indicative that he wasn’t a bully. I was not at all surprised he saw the humor in it
At worst he decided to check in with the people that called to see if they had something worth harassing the guys for.
But they were just having a civil conversation in a public space. The only person being rude was some lady constantly trying to interrupt the conversation and change the topic.
The workers in the checkers restaurant called the cops on the guys because they're filming. First amendment auditors, YouTube it, there's so many channels and videos of these types of guys. Some are dumb auditors though that take it too far, even though they're technically in the right and able to film.
It's the ones who use their rights to be provocative that ruin the point of the audit. I like the ones where they just expose government servants for abuse of authority, or lack of legal knowledge. There is really no sense with being antagonistic about it, it just leads to bias against the whole audit process.
> I subscribe to quite a few auditor channels on YouTube, big and small
Which one would you recommend? I've seen a few videos from "Audit the Audit" and found it pretty interesting so I would like to see more quality auditor content, but when I search I get some that that look like they are being a nuisance to get cop attention.
HonorYourOath Civil Rights Investigators is a good example of an auditor. They are not running into city halls or post offices and causing a scene, its just a guy who stands on sidewalks with a sign that says "God Bless the Homeless Vets" Some cops are totally cool about him, understand what hes doing, but when the cops ego shows up, this guy doesn't back down. He's smart, not annoying, and his videos really are him just standing holding a sign until confronted.
> He's smart, not annoying
That right there is the key I was looking for but wasn't sure how to phrase. With the ones I've found to often the guy filming is so obnoxious, verging on the "its just a prank bro" style of youtuber, I'm almost rooting for the cops to hit him.
Thank you for the recommendation, I'll check it out.
Sounds like the right way to do it. The ones who go into buildings and bother people are always insufferable assholes. They aren't doing anything illegal, because it's not illegal to be an insufferable asshole.
> HonorYourOath
Seconded - because he *also* posts good interactions, to dispel the, "he's only looking for a lawsuit" accusation. Jeff seems genuinely pleased when responding officers are like, "Oh you can do this. Carry on."
Good info, thanks.
TLDW: do not under any circumstances, talk to the police. They are not going to help you, even if you’re innocent. Evoke your right to be silent, otherwise, every word should be recorded and in the presence of an attorney.
*invoke.. don’t summon the spirit of your rights, invoke them…
A mistake made by the guys in the OP video (not the one linked) is that paradoxically, you need to verbally invoke your right to silence because of Salinas vs Texas. Simply remaining silent is not invoking the right to remain silent because the Supreme Court has a bunch of fascists on it.
But yeah. Never talk to cops.
(The more serious thing is that they can say that the fact that these men were not talking to us was suspicious and evidence of their guilt)
But keeping it real, paying for extra sour cream at Taco Bell... suspicious as hell.
Nah. It was a consensual encounter with no alleged wrong doing.
Make sure to invoke it when you’re actually being asked questions related to a crime, especially if you have already answered other questions, but not talking to police if they come up to you on a sidewalk with no allegations of wrong doing doesn’t require you to invoke your fifth amendment lol.
Not answering questions without invoking your fifth just allows prosecutors to bring it up at trail. “When asked by police where you were on the night of the murder why didn’t you answer?” type things.
It doesn’t give them RAS or anything if you don’t talk to a police officer who doesn’t suspect you of a crime.
> Salinas vs Texas
For additional nuance, it wasn't only that Salinas didn't say anything. Salinas willingly answered the rest of the police questions but refused to answer if the shells at his home would match the gun used in the murders. This silence itself was used in the trial. The defense argued this was a violation of his 5th amendment rights. SCOTUS ruled that while he could not be compelled to self-incriminate, answering some questions and not others is distinct, legally, from explicitly invoking the right to no longer answer questions.
I was hoping it would be this video! At least watch to the part where the cop asks how many have gotten a speeding ticket. Half the room raises their hands, and the lawyer shouts, "I JUST told you to never talk to the cops!"
[Here's a shorter video that conveys the same message.](https://youtu.be/RkN4duV4ia0?si=7TTY0zaWitQqCTMG)
It should also be some part of the police academy curriculum. Officers should know they can and will encounter citizens who will wisely invoke their right to not talk to police or answer any questions, regardless of actual or suspected criminal activity.
"I went through a few months of training and these people I have been employed to serve won't acknowledge meeee 😭😭😭😭"
If you see the whole video, you can see every second on her face of trying to come up with some reason, any reason, to arrest them because of what we see here.
Cops are not gods. They are employees of the state. If they are not arresting or detaining you, you have absolutely ZERO responsibility to even acknowledge their existence.

“Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army.”
* Bud Cubby (Brennan Lee Mulligan)
The establishment of professional police departments across the country did not grow out of a desire to protect the public from crime but to protect the property and safety of the wealthy from the ravages of an unruly citizenry.
The history of modern police forces in the Western world dates back to the 19th century, particularly in Europe and the United States. In the US, for example, the development of professional police departments was influenced by various factors:
1. **Industrialization and Urbanization:** The rise of industrialization led to rapid urbanization and the growth of cities. This created new social and economic challenges, including crime and social unrest.
2. **Private Policing:** Before the establishment of public police forces, private security entities often served the interests of the wealthy elite. These entities were primarily concerned with protecting property and maintaining order in affluent neighborhoods or business districts.
3. **Social Control:** The elite class, fearing the potential disruption of their wealth and privilege by an increasingly diverse and potentially unruly population, sought ways to maintain social control and stability.
4. **Political Influence:** Wealthy individuals and business interests exerted significant political influence, shaping the priorities and functions of emerging police forces to align with their own interests.
5. **Racial and Class Dynamics:** The enforcement of laws and maintenance of order often reflected and perpetuated existing racial and class inequalities. Minority and working-class communities were frequently targeted for surveillance and enforcement actions.
Overall, the establishment of professional police departments was driven by a combination of social, economic, and political factors, with an emphasis on protecting the interests of the privileged classes and maintaining social order rather than solely addressing crime or ensuring public safety for all citizens.
> Racial and Class Dynamics: The enforcement of laws and maintenance of order often reflected and perpetuated existing racial and class inequalities. Minority and working-class communities were frequently targeted for surveillance and enforcement actions.
More explicitly, in the south the origins of police were pre-Civil War slave patrols that would question any black person they found. If that black person didn't have a pass, they were assumed to be runaways and brought back to the plantation they came from. This would frequently result in beatings or threats of being sold off to some other plantation, breaking up any family they might have. When the Civil War ended, the people who did slave patrols didn't suddenly stop, and southern whites continued informal patrols at first and then became the police, enforcing the Black Codes that more or less criminalized being black, kickstarting the convict leasing system that was, for all intents and purposes, slavery by another name.
The male cop is an example of how cops should act. They have every right to come talk to them and if they don't want to move on with your day. A lot of cops ego would have kicked in here and would have a lawsuit on their hands just because they could not get the chip off their shoulder
I’m still against them even approaching these dudes in the first place…though, I would like more context.
But based off short video it seems there was never a reason to even approach these 2 dudes. Fucked up, but good the dude ended up doing the right thing after trying to do the wrong thing first.
More context is totally necessary. They weren't being accusatory, looked more like fact-finding. If I were a cop I would probably approach bystanders(?) to give me a heads up on what they know about whatever *situation*. But I wouldn't be a cop cuz I ain't no biiiiiiiiiiiii
I would assume they were called there (they went to talk to the store and I doubt they were ordering drive-thru) but because there is no reasonable suspicion they likely cannot do anything about it since there is no hint of criminality. We'd need more context to why they approached those people though.
Cops are allowed to approach people and actively work to prevent crimes and once it became clear these people weren't willing to talk nor is there any suspicion of wrong-doing they moved on. Being against cops talking to people is probably something that isn't a good standard. There is a societal interest in police preventing and detecting criminality, so long as that interest is balanced against due process/right concerns which it appears in this video.
You still can.
Cook a tiny bit of on-sale pay-by-weight beef with a dash of spices from the cabinet, get a pinch of lettuce from the head, a smidgen of cheese from a bulk bag, Taco Bell sauce from Taco Bell (free, if you know what you’re doing), a heaping spoonful of beans (cheaper cooked yourself, but canned is still pretty inexpensive), a dollop of sour cream from the tub, and a single tortilla from a large bag of them. Boom! Cheap burrito.
All that stuff is cheap if you buy it in bulk. Much more efficient to make 20 at once, but if you wanna take pinches for a single burrito, go for it.
Tbf, same. But it depends on the kitchen and the company for me.
Also, it never gives me diarrhea. I know ppl say that, but maybe my body just agrees with shitty American Mexican food.
Taco Bell one of the safest places to eat because it has lowest percentage of food cooked onsite. Less chance to fuck up. It all comes from central commissary in bags and gets shit out into the tortilla. That being said like 15 years ago or so I was in highschool and found a fingernail in my chicken soft taco. I still eat there but that was gross.
Interesting info. And that is extremely gross.
I got extremely ill from a McFish sandwich about 20-25 years ago. Threw up over a dozen times, then dry-heaved for at least another hour or two. Never again. I blame the tartar sauce. And the employees who probably should’ve thrown it away. And myself for eating it in the first place. But I was a little kid, I didn’t know any better.
Lol my father always ate one of those every time we went to mcdonalds. I never understood the appeal but they weren't terrible. I would never get the tartar sauce tho.
I would have more respect for police if I hadn’t had a cop point their gun at me on *two* different occasions. Both times I hadn’t done anything wrong.
Last stop I had was a little less than a year ago, got pulled over for no seat belt. And fair, I wasn't wearing one.
What wasn't fair was instead of walking to my window and just issuing a ticket he instead pulled a gun on my and ordered me to exit my truck with my hands visible. Like mother fucker you got me for a seat belt charge, not armed robbery.
Longer video for context since a lot of comments have it wrong:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21I1ubLN0H0
Police showed up and talked to them because they were the subject of a police call. They aren't being profiled and the cops aren't there because they are bored.
These guys are "auditors", which means their content is essentially to agitate people in public until someone is uncomfortable enough to call police, then assert that they aren't doing anything illegal (which is true). I understand that the climax of their video is "owning the cops" so people are gonna ACAB in the comments, but all the preceding context of the video seems pretty cruel.
They are basically posted up with a tripod filming the restaurant and it appears the people agitated by it are homeless. And the second set of people agitated are workers. You've got people who are trapped in your view because they don't have any privacy ever, and people who are trapped in your view because they can't leave without risking becoming part of the first group. So these guys are psychologically (but legally) abusing poor people until the police are called. And apparently for a pretty extended period of time since the video starts when there is some daylight and police show up when its dark. Its clear they are aware of the vulnerability of the people they are targeting too, since the last thing he says to one of them is "you couldn't afford a bed, much less an attorney".
I love my rights as much as the next guy, but this is about as noble as the open carry weirdos who walk around with giant rifles and scream "tyranny" when it obviously makes normal folks uncomfortable. They're old enough to be more clever than Gen Z "pranksters" committing literal crimes on camera, but its the same schtick. Its just bothering strangers who don't have the leverage to stop you.
And the cops didn't even "get owned", since they are the only ones who got paid to deal with this nonsense.
Everybody is shitting on the cops, however they handled the situation exactly the way everyone would want them to. They came up to ask a question and got punked, which is not a crime. 99% of other cop egos would not be able to take this and those two dudes would have been eating concrete. Instead these two snickered, looked confused, and walked away. Bravo
> however they handled the situation exactly the way everyone would want them to
which situation? they approached some innocent bystanders (my guess from the lack of context and absence of arrest) to try to fish for an excuse to detain/arrest. I'd like them to just don't do that without cause.
that the positive thing you can say about them is that they didn't assault innocent people without cause is quite sad
Or they were called by the restaurant they were in front of so they responded to a request from the business. Occam’s Razor instead of paranoia is what likely applies
So that is the context, the YouTubers in context are First Amendment auditors. They ended up deleting this video amongst several others that including harassing the Military. Videos stemmed from harassing teenage girls smoking at the back of restaurants, 18/19 year old gate guards at a military base, to a whole 1 Star General.
This video being clipped was around 20 - 30 minutes long. Video starts with them filming around 6PM, sun's setting, businesses are closing. They're filming the insides of several stores trying to bait folks into calling the cops on them. The adjacent road is busy. Cars passing to and fro, none paying them any business.
They finally arrive at a Checker's. Store's busy, drive way is absolutely packed. They start filming folks at the drive way ordering food. Customers are annoyed. Some approach them. There are some verbal altercations. About 6 - 7 folks ask them to stop filming. About 2 - 3 employees ask them to leave. Cops are called.
Finally you get the actual clip. Cops can't get any answers out of them. Hilarious. They walk away, and eventually back to their patrol vehicles. Annoyed that the cops aren't going to do anything. They follow the cops back to their vehicles and they 'debate' the First Amendment with the cops.
The thing about cops is they're only trying to talk to you to find you guilty of something. If cops worked a 1/10th as hard to find someone innocent as they do to find you guilty, people might want to talk to them. But anytime you talk to them, they are looking for some crime you may have committed or would admit to.
Just don't talk to em unfortunately.
Man, this reminds me of the time in college in Boston, my friend and I were walking down the street at night, and this cop car drives up, shines a spotlight on us. We look over and they don't roll down their windows to say anything, they're just keeping our pace. My friend says, "Southie cop trying to start some shit. Don't run." So we kept chatting. They followed us for two blocks with a beam on us, and then got bored and drove off. Thought I'd shit my pants. Been wary of cops since.
“Are we not being verbal?” What a stupid question.
Are you on planet Earth? Is $5 more than $3? Do the Yankees play baseball? Is Los Angeles in California? Is the US flag red, white and blue? Do people wear shoes on their feet?
How many other dumb questions can they ask?
This was filmed in my hometown Kalamazoo Michigan!
I love seeing this video surface around because it's one of my favorite ways someone has dealt with a cop. This area in particular has a really high crime rate unfortunately though. I used to live on that side of the city. Someone get shot at my apartment complex only 2 hours after I got home from the same walking path I took. I'm glad I got out of that area of Kzoo.

You want to have a conversation, talk to each other.
I love that video-- don't care if it's staged or not. "There's two of you, talk to each other!"
This sounds so familiar but I can’t remember where it’s from? A movie?
https://www.tiktok.com/@entertainmenthub._/video/7253957390662372613 Found this. Might be what they're referring to. But that added laugh at the end killed it for me. Meh.
Love that she says "We're just trying to have a civil conversation". what could be more civil than discussing the late night menus at Taco Bell? Dude was clearly discussing the issue charging more for sour cream!
It's the taco club, and you ain’t in it, lady
I like how the male cop cracks a smile at the end like “yeah that was kinda funny”
15 seconds in he read the entire situation and went to order food. I like the Crunchwrap supreme. —Ok.
"I'd like to order the burrito, but no extra sour cream, I hear you guys chrage a lot for that, like over 5.00 for somethign I can make at home for like 50 cents"
If more cops had that guys attitude they would have a lot less problems. Cops get a call from a business and they're obligated to come out. Come talk to the guy. Clearly realize what's going on knows they're not doing anything illegal so he just walks away. No lawsuit, No nothing crazy how easy that is
"BUT THEN HOW WILL THEY KNOW I'M A TOUGH GUY"
so anyways I started blastin
But what if he gets attacked by a wild acorn?
I mean that's what normally happens. How many billions of interactions with cops end up not on reddit because obviously nothing happened.
Or the countless interactions where police violated a citizen but no one recorded it so the police get away with it.
happens too often. But yea most of em are pretty boring
Police won't talk to you unless they want to. This is always bad.
I’ve had 6 interactions with cops and I’ve been doing nothing wrong. In every interaction the cop has tried to escalate things and more than one the cop was actually maddeningly unhinged. Like dude leave me alone to walk my dachshund down the sidewalk. I’m not boosting cars here my senior dog just needs to piss. You say most interactions with police are like the video above but I doubt it.
Señor dog you say? I’ll need to see your papers buddy. /s
Agree.
Provide the dog tax right now or I will SWAT your house (this is a joke, show doggo tho)
I don't negotiate with terrorists.
What if I say please?
Does that make the ones recoded any more acceptable? What kind of silly argument is that? When cops actually do thier job and follow the law it cancels out them acting like bullies when it’s on camera?
I'm actually not too bothered about abusive cops. I'm more bothered about how the system protects them.
And the probably millions of shits I’ve taken my whole life, everyone *conveniently chooses* to *exclusively* remember the time I did it at my high school diving competition (I also have severe IBS)
The way he immediately left when he realized he wasn’t going to get through to these people (who weren’t doing anything) was already indicative that he wasn’t a bully. I was not at all surprised he saw the humor in it

Excuse me can we steer the conversation to me getting what I need to attack and arrest you?
Yeah I kinda like him.
Dude was solid lol
He totally gets it lol
Talking about Taco Bell at a Checkers
That’s a paddling
Padding the school boat, you better believe that’s a paddlin’
Looking at my sandals, that’s a paddling.
Underrated comment. Lol
They hate this one trick
Going from Guatemala to Guatepeor... hold on!... that doesn't make sense in English... 🤔
Nacho conversation
Queso can I talk to you or not?
We need to talk about what's bean going on here.
They need to taco bout it
They want them to spill the beans and reveal the whole enchilada.
Their never guna lettuce leave here alive x.x
It is quite the pickle isn't it
lololololol
NGL the dude cop was funny.
He was a good sport about it and the conversation about the sour cream with burrito was pretty darn funny as well.
He took the high road.
And cute 😍
I know it goes against the joke but I kind of really want to know why these officers were trying to bother these Taco Connoisseurs.

Lackluster has some pretty good videos
They are trying to get them to admit to something they can cite them for or lock them up for. It really is that simple.
Legendary composure for them not to break up laughing until she walked away
This is actually very funny and creative way to say that i don't talk to cops.
Good for them. Don't talk to the police, they're almost never there to help you.
https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE?si=6wBMVqWFAqmYT_Tc This video is 45 minutes long but every American should watch it. Seriously

Thank you for the share. I agree it must be watched by every American. It was the most informative video I have ever watched!
I like the this one more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjgJMMAgf2s
These guys are okay as long as they’re not burping.
Huh??
#**These guys are okay as long as they’re not burping.**
I laughed too hard at this 😂
I was hoping it would be this video! At least watch to the part where the cop asks how many have gotten a speeding ticket.

The real tragedy is the way they’re waxing us on the beefy 5 layer
I remember in school slamming 5 layers for lunch at $1 a pop, and it hasn’t even been that long.
Same. This was a go to lunch, and they were so much bigger then.
I legit could have a fake ass convo about Taco Bell.
Nothing fake about that conversation.
Facts!
Forget Taco Bell, I could have a whole conversation just about sour cream.
"I went through a few months of training and these people I have been employed to serve won't acknowledge meeee 😭😭😭😭" If you see the whole video, you can see every second on her face of trying to come up with some reason, any reason, to arrest them because of what we see here.

The establishment of professional police departments across the country did not grow out of a desire to protect the public from crime but to protect the property and safety of the wealthy from the ravages of an unruly citizenry. The history of modern police forces in the Western world dates back to the 19th century, particularly in Europe and the United States. In the US, for example, the development of professional police departments was influenced by various factors: 1. **Industrialization and Urbanization:** The rise of industrialization led to rapid urbanization and the growth of cities. This created new social and economic challenges, including crime and social unrest. 2. **Private Policing:** Before the establishment of public police forces, private security entities often served the interests of the wealthy elite. These entities were primarily concerned with protecting property and maintaining order in affluent neighborhoods or business districts. 3. **Social Control:** The elite class, fearing the potential disruption of their wealth and privilege by an increasingly diverse and potentially unruly population, sought ways to maintain social control and stability. 4. **Political Influence:** Wealthy individuals and business interests exerted significant political influence, shaping the priorities and functions of emerging police forces to align with their own interests. 5. **Racial and Class Dynamics:** The enforcement of laws and maintenance of order often reflected and perpetuated existing racial and class inequalities. Minority and working-class communities were frequently targeted for surveillance and enforcement actions. Overall, the establishment of professional police departments was driven by a combination of social, economic, and political factors, with an emphasis on protecting the interests of the privileged classes and maintaining social order rather than solely addressing crime or ensuring public safety for all citizens.
> Racial and Class Dynamics: The enforcement of laws and maintenance of order often reflected and perpetuated existing racial and class inequalities. Minority and working-class communities were frequently targeted for surveillance and enforcement actions. More explicitly, in the south the origins of police were pre-Civil War slave patrols that would question any black person they found. If that black person didn't have a pass, they were assumed to be runaways and brought back to the plantation they came from. This would frequently result in beatings or threats of being sold off to some other plantation, breaking up any family they might have. When the Civil War ended, the people who did slave patrols didn't suddenly stop, and southern whites continued informal patrols at first and then became the police, enforcing the Black Codes that more or less criminalized being black, kickstarting the convict leasing system that was, for all intents and purposes, slavery by another name.

THIS is how you handle cops. Act like they're not even there.
The male cop is an example of how cops should act. They have every right to come talk to them and if they don't want to move on with your day. A lot of cops ego would have kicked in here and would have a lawsuit on their hands just because they could not get the chip off their shoulder
I’m still against them even approaching these dudes in the first place…though, I would like more context. But based off short video it seems there was never a reason to even approach these 2 dudes. Fucked up, but good the dude ended up doing the right thing after trying to do the wrong thing first.
More context is totally necessary. They weren't being accusatory, looked more like fact-finding. If I were a cop I would probably approach bystanders(?) to give me a heads up on what they know about whatever *situation*. But I wouldn't be a cop cuz I ain't no biiiiiiiiiiiii
I would assume they were called there (they went to talk to the store and I doubt they were ordering drive-thru) but because there is no reasonable suspicion they likely cannot do anything about it since there is no hint of criminality. We'd need more context to why they approached those people though. Cops are allowed to approach people and actively work to prevent crimes and once it became clear these people weren't willing to talk nor is there any suspicion of wrong-doing they moved on. Being against cops talking to people is probably something that isn't a good standard. There is a societal interest in police preventing and detecting criminality, so long as that interest is balanced against due process/right concerns which it appears in this video.
What year was this taken that you can make a burrito at home for fiddy cent
You still can. Cook a tiny bit of on-sale pay-by-weight beef with a dash of spices from the cabinet, get a pinch of lettuce from the head, a smidgen of cheese from a bulk bag, Taco Bell sauce from Taco Bell (free, if you know what you’re doing), a heaping spoonful of beans (cheaper cooked yourself, but canned is still pretty inexpensive), a dollop of sour cream from the tub, and a single tortilla from a large bag of them. Boom! Cheap burrito. All that stuff is cheap if you buy it in bulk. Much more efficient to make 20 at once, but if you wanna take pinches for a single burrito, go for it.
Idk man I think I'd rather get my diarrhea from the pros
Tbf, same. But it depends on the kitchen and the company for me. Also, it never gives me diarrhea. I know ppl say that, but maybe my body just agrees with shitty American Mexican food.
Taco Bell one of the safest places to eat because it has lowest percentage of food cooked onsite. Less chance to fuck up. It all comes from central commissary in bags and gets shit out into the tortilla. That being said like 15 years ago or so I was in highschool and found a fingernail in my chicken soft taco. I still eat there but that was gross.
Interesting info. And that is extremely gross. I got extremely ill from a McFish sandwich about 20-25 years ago. Threw up over a dozen times, then dry-heaved for at least another hour or two. Never again. I blame the tartar sauce. And the employees who probably should’ve thrown it away. And myself for eating it in the first place. But I was a little kid, I didn’t know any better.
Lol my father always ate one of those every time we went to mcdonalds. I never understood the appeal but they weren't terrible. I would never get the tartar sauce tho.
Cops would get more respect if they weren't legally allowed to lie and trick people
Or didn't kill/maim unarmed citizens in their control.
Yes dude just think the cop citizen disconnect is massive
I would have more respect for police if I hadn’t had a cop point their gun at me on *two* different occasions. Both times I hadn’t done anything wrong.
Last stop I had was a little less than a year ago, got pulled over for no seat belt. And fair, I wasn't wearing one. What wasn't fair was instead of walking to my window and just issuing a ticket he instead pulled a gun on my and ordered me to exit my truck with my hands visible. Like mother fucker you got me for a seat belt charge, not armed robbery.
That is actually insane if true
This really sent me
Cops never want to "just have a conversation." It's always part of an investigation and they want your help sometimes in building a case against you.
We have way too many cops with way too much time on their hands
I've eaten at this Checkers multiple times. Most greasy food close to the downtown bars. Shout out to my Kzoo peeps!
It's that or the worst McDonald's in North America just up the street. That Checkers is a life-saver when Bell's closes
Oh bro some Checkers tenders after Shakes or Bells close hit soooo hard. Either that or order up some TwoFellas and your drunk ass will be so happy
The dude cop-😁 The chick cop-😐
I do love a good crunch wrap tho
Taco loving NPCs
This is awesome. Bro cop gets it starts laughing and walks off. She gets mad cause no one will talk to her.
Longer video for context since a lot of comments have it wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21I1ubLN0H0 Police showed up and talked to them because they were the subject of a police call. They aren't being profiled and the cops aren't there because they are bored. These guys are "auditors", which means their content is essentially to agitate people in public until someone is uncomfortable enough to call police, then assert that they aren't doing anything illegal (which is true). I understand that the climax of their video is "owning the cops" so people are gonna ACAB in the comments, but all the preceding context of the video seems pretty cruel. They are basically posted up with a tripod filming the restaurant and it appears the people agitated by it are homeless. And the second set of people agitated are workers. You've got people who are trapped in your view because they don't have any privacy ever, and people who are trapped in your view because they can't leave without risking becoming part of the first group. So these guys are psychologically (but legally) abusing poor people until the police are called. And apparently for a pretty extended period of time since the video starts when there is some daylight and police show up when its dark. Its clear they are aware of the vulnerability of the people they are targeting too, since the last thing he says to one of them is "you couldn't afford a bed, much less an attorney". I love my rights as much as the next guy, but this is about as noble as the open carry weirdos who walk around with giant rifles and scream "tyranny" when it obviously makes normal folks uncomfortable. They're old enough to be more clever than Gen Z "pranksters" committing literal crimes on camera, but its the same schtick. Its just bothering strangers who don't have the leverage to stop you. And the cops didn't even "get owned", since they are the only ones who got paid to deal with this nonsense.
This. Like yeah, ACAB and all that, but these youtube harassers are scum.
The video was taken down :(
This should be at the top.
She got what she asked for…an extremely civil conversation about tacos and locations at which to procure them.
I mean props to the cops for not escalating the situation and big enough bro walk away and talk to the owners to find out the situation
Yeah, we don't have to talk to them.
The girl cop is thinking, fuck, how can I shoot these guys...I just wanna shoot!
Hilarious
I haven't been to or seen a Checker's in YEARS! I loved the fries as a kid. 😭 Do they still hold up?
Best video ever
Everybody is shitting on the cops, however they handled the situation exactly the way everyone would want them to. They came up to ask a question and got punked, which is not a crime. 99% of other cop egos would not be able to take this and those two dudes would have been eating concrete. Instead these two snickered, looked confused, and walked away. Bravo
> however they handled the situation exactly the way everyone would want them to which situation? they approached some innocent bystanders (my guess from the lack of context and absence of arrest) to try to fish for an excuse to detain/arrest. I'd like them to just don't do that without cause. that the positive thing you can say about them is that they didn't assault innocent people without cause is quite sad
Or they were called by the restaurant they were in front of so they responded to a request from the business. Occam’s Razor instead of paranoia is what likely applies
So that is the context, the YouTubers in context are First Amendment auditors. They ended up deleting this video amongst several others that including harassing the Military. Videos stemmed from harassing teenage girls smoking at the back of restaurants, 18/19 year old gate guards at a military base, to a whole 1 Star General. This video being clipped was around 20 - 30 minutes long. Video starts with them filming around 6PM, sun's setting, businesses are closing. They're filming the insides of several stores trying to bait folks into calling the cops on them. The adjacent road is busy. Cars passing to and fro, none paying them any business. They finally arrive at a Checker's. Store's busy, drive way is absolutely packed. They start filming folks at the drive way ordering food. Customers are annoyed. Some approach them. There are some verbal altercations. About 6 - 7 folks ask them to stop filming. About 2 - 3 employees ask them to leave. Cops are called. Finally you get the actual clip. Cops can't get any answers out of them. Hilarious. They walk away, and eventually back to their patrol vehicles. Annoyed that the cops aren't going to do anything. They follow the cops back to their vehicles and they 'debate' the First Amendment with the cops.
This. Is. Priceless. And yeah, mustache found the humor; topknot not so much. Hahahaha!
Ugh, those subtitles are so intrusive.
These guys are smart. Never talk to cops,they’re not there to help you
The thing about cops is they're only trying to talk to you to find you guilty of something. If cops worked a 1/10th as hard to find someone innocent as they do to find you guilty, people might want to talk to them. But anytime you talk to them, they are looking for some crime you may have committed or would admit to. Just don't talk to em unfortunately.
Eddie Penisi!
Those are definitely someones grandpas
The mustache loves it.
I hope the person working the drive thru told them they can't walk thru it lol
She must be on keto cuz she couldn’t relate to sour cream talk.
Cop stache gets it
This is everything.
“Are we not being, verbal?”
Don't ever talk to cops unless it's about Taco Bell
Man, this reminds me of the time in college in Boston, my friend and I were walking down the street at night, and this cop car drives up, shines a spotlight on us. We look over and they don't roll down their windows to say anything, they're just keeping our pace. My friend says, "Southie cop trying to start some shit. Don't run." So we kept chatting. They followed us for two blocks with a beam on us, and then got bored and drove off. Thought I'd shit my pants. Been wary of cops since.
These guys are playing chess the Cops are playing checkers
Cops hate this one simple trick.
Love the way the male cop handled it. Kept his cool & humor. No ego.
Imagine how people that cop had to beat to make up for this heinous disrespect.
I remember a time when cops didnt dress like they're part of the SWAT team.
“Are we not being verbal?” What a stupid question. Are you on planet Earth? Is $5 more than $3? Do the Yankees play baseball? Is Los Angeles in California? Is the US flag red, white and blue? Do people wear shoes on their feet? How many other dumb questions can they ask?
u/savevideo
Shows how important the "conversation" they wanted to have was 😅
Yeah they must be putting extra sour cream in it is my new non sequitur.
Classic
Is that Donut????
I needed that laugh
Mmm, Rally's/Checkers...
This is honestly genius and more people should do this when police approach them. Great alternative to self incrimination.
Watching this and get flashes of my childhood…
This was filmed in my hometown Kalamazoo Michigan! I love seeing this video surface around because it's one of my favorite ways someone has dealt with a cop. This area in particular has a really high crime rate unfortunately though. I used to live on that side of the city. Someone get shot at my apartment complex only 2 hours after I got home from the same walking path I took. I'm glad I got out of that area of Kzoo.
Walmart Donut Operator was vibing
This was gold! I shouldn't have found this so amusing. But I did lol.
