I don't see how it's relevant to correct me whether he was the driver or the passenger, but whatever.
You two are assuming he knows the drill and that assumption leads you to conclude that he must be following orders. The fact is that military police are not analogously trained as civilian police and he probably doesn't "know" the drill, but more than likely thinks he knows the drill, which is precisely my point.
Although on the face of it he doesn't appear to "know" the drill because as I described in my earlier post, the "drill" is you lay on your face until the police move you. In what situation do you think MP's operate in an analogous situation? In actual combat? or in guarding prisoners? In what realm of experience do you think an MP tells suspects to "get up" before securing the situation? Which is why I suspect that many of you have no actual experience with being accosted by the cops. In what universe do you think cops tells suspects to stand up after they've chased them down?
I also happen to have watched and listend to the actual video (which isn't in this thread, the link is commentary about what is being shown) because it ran on our local news numerous times before it hit national. hopefully someone will provide it and then we can resume talking about the 'facts'
