Reply to comment by imightbemichael in Connecticut man accused of dragging officer by door after racing by jr_reddit

I never said the driver wasn’t dumb. No one should be street racing.

In theory the cop should have been able to use his monkey brain and let go of the door. in theory.

But as i said, they don’t always hire the smartest people.

I know everyone likes to play Monday morning quarterback on this cesspool of an app. But it seems like it all happened in a split second. And it’s not like he was holding on and getting dragged down a street for a mile. It seems like he had his hand on the handle. The driver accelerated and dragged him a few feet before his fight or flight kicked in and he let go. Idk if you’ve ever been around cars that are used for street racing but they accelerate pretty quickly. And you can have your own opinion on cops but calling this guy stupid for trying to do his job and holding onto a handle for a millisecond too long, honestly kind of shows your stupidity

The irony is the ones that bash cops the most are the first ones calling 911.
