in situations like this one presented here, it becomes obvious that there is a problem with cops;

Compton, CA — In the land of the free, revenue collectors, otherwise known as police officers, are tasked with the enforcement of arbitrary traffic “laws.” Many of these laws are designed — not to keep society safe — but to extract revenue from citizens to fund government operations. As TFTP has reported over the years, police are authorized to use violence to enforce these laws and will escalate their use of force to potentially deadly actions to ensure compliance. As the following video shows, police have no problem resorting to deadly force over parking tickets and window tint.

Last month, 30-year-old Travis Elster was harming no one as he waited for his mother inside a takeout restaurant. However, the fact that he was harming no one was of no concern to the two LAPD officers who targeted him for revenue collection and harassment.

When officers approach Elster, one officer tells him to roll down his window as another gets in front of his vehicle to block him from leaving. The reason for the stop? Illegal parking. However, Elster was not “parked” at all. He was in gear with his foot on the brake which makes the entire alleged premise for the stop unlawful. As you watch the officers escalate the situation, however, it becomes entirely clear that illegal parking was not at all one of their priorities.

“Roll down the window? What’s up, bro?” the officer says.

“Just waiting for my mom, sir,” Elster replies. A person can be seen standing at the counter of the takeout restaurant where Elster is idling.

Elster then offers to pull his car out of the way, to fix the alleged illegal parking job. If these officers truly served the people of Compton, this stop would have ended here and they would have gone on their way. But their job is not to serve, it is to extort and escalate.

“Can you turn off the car for me? You have dark windows,” the officer says, defying all logic as to the original reason he stopped Elster in the first place. If the officer really cared about illegal parking, why would he force Elster to remain parked there?..........read and watch more......
