What an arsehole move. Interrupting the middle of filming like that. "Do you know who I am!?"

Very interesting video, it's a SHAME that it is interrupted by commercials every 3rd minute or so, very very annoying!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Great job.

When I was in high school I had a friend who could play the first half of Van Halen's Eruption. When the girls came over - my job was to ask him to play the song, and then rudely interrupt him right before he got to the part that he didn't know how to play, forcing him to stop.

This guy is a great guitarist. I guess what I'm saying is that the lady in the audience making the request is his mom - and he put her up to it. And maybe she's the only one there. And this is his back yard. At least he knew the whole song.

From reddit post

Policeman: "You do not have any identification right? - Where are you from?"

Driver: "I'm from Elamari" (? not sure what town/city he actually says).

Policeman: "Okay, you're with this other group that's here right?"

Driver: "The other buggy like this?"

Policeman: "Yes."

Driver: "Yes I brought it with me..." - (interrupted)

Policeman: "Alright, listen. I appreciate that you're here. But we're done. I've got orders(?)"

Driver: "Alright."

Policeman: "Youre not to be operating this vehicle on the road."

Driver: "Alright."

Policeman: "You understand that?"

Driver: "Yes sir."

Policeman: "If I see you around here, like I told the other guy (i'll have your vehicle?) impounded. You're operating an unregistered motor vehicle. No insurance with this. I appreciate you guys came down here wanting to help today. Our orders are to come down (no idea what he says here) So go somewhere else today, get out of here. Okay?

Policeman: "Thanks for your help today."

Driver: "Next time don't yell."

Policeman: "Have a safe trip."

-- The rest is easily heard.

Ali: "..American black wife.."
That's social not racial. Not sure I would have interrupted him either tho..

Normally I 100% give the police every benefit of the doubt in these situations. I believe you are ignoring the important parts of this video though.

The kid didn't 'cop an attitude', refuse to comply, or 'flee' the scene. He was defensive from the start, and I don't think it's unjustified to be a bit put out to be interrupted from your work to be grilled about what your doing there and to prove who you are. The turning point you are missing is when the kid asks for supposed police officer to identify himself. The guy acting like an officer not only fails to do so, he immediately wants to handcuff the kid now all of a sudden. At this stage, the kid is supposed to back away. He has a guy in a uniform refusing to identify themselves, he shouldn't be expected to hang around.

It's not an offense or problem to 'refuse to comply' with someone that isn't a police officer.

It's not fleeing a scene when there is no police officer present, let alone an officer telling you that your being detained or under arrest.

The officer's refusal to identify himself should IMO mean that he isn't considered to be a police officer at all yet in how the public is expected to interact with him. That's a public safety requirement and the fact that the department PR video is lying and calling walking away from this interaction 'fleeing' is disgusting to me.

Oh, and for the record, if the officer DID identify himself, and then said the kid was being detained or under arrest then it all changes to me. Then the kid is 100% expected to comply, and the officer is allowed to use the force required to arrest and detain the kid. At the point if the arrest is an abuse of power or not is up the courts to decide. The important distinction is none of that actually happened, the PR meeting video acts as though the officer had identified himself and attempted to detain the kid. Fortunately the kid has video evidence showing that none of that actually happened. It is legitimately scary how easily and frequently an officer could do exactly this same stunt, and without it being on camera, he would get away with the whole thing.

I look at it in a simple way: words having meanings; people have motivations. A conversation has a context, and in your example the passerby isn't aware of that context. If she chooses to eavesdrop and feels offended, well, while I do feel sorry for her...it's really not any of her business what you and your brother are conversing about. You might as well turn to her, give her a once-over and criticize her choice of pantsuit. She doesn't know you; she didn't ask for your opinion; and your retort probably made her upset.

Should people try to be aware of their surroundings and try not to say inappropriate things? Of course, but that's just common courtesy...like not commenting on a funky smell at a funeral visitation. Political correctness is fine if we all agree, but we usually don't. And therefore we get people who virtue signal over others because they refuse to kowtow to the newest linguistic fashion.

Now, I'm a fairly polite guy. I hold open doors, give up my seat, offer to carry heavy packages, smile, wave and nod greetings to many strangers, etc. Yet I still occasionally get someone who disagrees with my legitimate use of a term (as I understand its meaning). Generally, I still apologize...but I don't then re-evaluate my language ability. I'm not willing to let the connotations of words take on new, questionable-yet-popular meanings.

I've had a Native American friend laugh at me for asking what he preferred I say: redskin, indian, aboriginal, first people, etc. I've also asked a "retarded" person if they preferred if I said "intellectually challenged." He preferred retarded because...wait for it...he had a lot of trouble saying the other one. Now that's irony.

I think my heart's in the right place. I was taught to be polite, and I try to be at all times. But it gets under my skin to have a total stranger "chastise" me when they know nothing about me. Frankly, I find it more offensive to interrupt and belittle a stranger than it is to overhear some stranger's questionable utterance.

I find JB's constant interruptions really annoying and it really distracts from Colbert's performance and delivery. Lately, every time I watch these Late Show clips, I find myself wishing they'd just turn JB's mic off - he's so not funny.

@Sniper007, @MilkmanDan and @Payback, sorry I typed it on my phone so it wasn't a very clear argument. What I was arguing against was the contention that atheists are the worst for "recruiting" people.

Have any of you ever had an atheist knock on your door? Ever had an atheist stop you in the street? Ever seen an atheist protest a funeral? Not only have I never had any of these experiences, I've never even heard of anyone having these experiences.

Are there "strident" atheists out there? Of course. But let's be real, they tend to restrict themselves to things like books, debates, youtube videos and in an extreme sense... bus adverts!

Apart from the bus adverts, those are all things that other people choose to be involved in, unlike religious people who go out and interrupt other people's lives (even if they are perfectly polite about it) to "recruit" them.

It's irritating how much Maher interrupts.
