I think he should have either moved on or explained that he was waiting for his kids as directly as possible. All that talk does no good because a police officer is conditioned to believe that he is always right.

How can things be changed? Giving the cops the silent treatment is not going to change things. I respect your experiences, but I don’t think relating them is going to help anyone else. The cops must be regarded as human, because only humans can be held accountable and can change their behavior.

Saying this man could have had better results if he had only done such-and-such is victim-blaming.
