Re: Dockett live tweets getting pulled over by police

I am not saying Dockett didn't do anything wrong. I am saying, I don't just assume he is and side with the police. Do people do illegal things and deserve to be pulled over? Yes. Do police and other authority sometimes stereotype against certain groups of people? Yes. Not sure what happened in this situation, but I will not blindly side with the authorities just because we have a court system. I am glad we have avenues to counter authorities overstepping their bounds, but that's not my point. I am going to give a citizen the benefit of the doubt over authorities any day of the week. Once I see proof against the person in question, then I will change my position.

I don't care about his tweets either. Not really what I was looking at. But it's freedom of speech. He can say whatever wants to.
