Cops will say they do it to make the car more visible. Like it isn’t already visible enough with the flashing lights.
No joke, revolving lights and sirens that hit 110dB+? And you’re not already the most visible thing on the road? Horseshit.
They don’t even attempt to lie anymore. They just say enough words that seem to form something resembling a sentence and then call it a day.
The God damn hood on that suv is like 3 inches taller than the car. What a load of shit.
Edit: Ae they convinced we’re that stupid? Or do people actually fall for these lies?
I think it’s about creating plausible deniability. They don’t actually expect the victims to believe them, but it gives supporters a talking point to use when it comes up. It’s an easy out when confronted with the fact that the cops are blatantly hiding their actions. If anyone tries to call them out for hiding their dashcams, they can just go “but safety” and police unions will support them. They don’t expect the marginalized groups to believe them, because they aren’t the target of the copaganda.
Absolutely!
