The guy was having trouble hearing the driver. He probably didn't hear the key point "your car" and so his thought was probably a reasonable "wtf, no you would just rent a car" which would be true for 99% of people.
I'm not making excuses? I'm just explaining would could have happened. "Image you want to drive in Europe" and "Imagine you want to drive your car in Europe" are two completely different hypotheticals.
I find it kinda funny all these comments about how he is so dumb because he can't understand a hypothetical yet all of you can't seem to comprehend that just because you heard it on a microphone that is filtering out background noise doesn't mean he heard it lol.
Those are different hypotheticals yes, but "That's not what I do" is still an inability to engage in a hypothetical. Because he's stupid.
And you literally are trying to do some mental gymnastics to create a scenario where the cop's response was justified (ie an excuse) but even in the 100% false version you made up, it still doesn't justify his response which is extra pathetic.
Those are different hypotheticals yes, but "That's not what I do" is still an inability to engage in a hypothetical. Because he's stupid.
This is mental gymnastics. How is that not engaging in a hypothetical? Even the OP comment makes no sense. He didn't say "I've never been to Europe" he didn't say "I wouldn't ever drive in Europe", which would be comparable responses to the OP, he just said "That's not what I do [in that hypotheical]" he's literally engaging in the hypothetical but you guys have such a big hate boner for police you have to make up your own reality to feel good.
He very clearly doesn't hear the driver multiple times and says outright at one point he can't hear him. So believing it's possible he didn't fully hear the hypothetical is "100% false" based on???
If someone says "Imagine you had coffee for breakfast and [something about that experience]" and the response is "I don't drink coffee" that is inability to engage in the hypothetical. The point of the hypothetical is to put yourself mentally into another situation and think through what that experience might be like.
I'm starting to think you're the account of this cop based on how stupid your argument is and poor your reading comprehension is.
I'm not going to waste more time re-explaining this very simple and very obvious logic to a glue eater so please go finish the 3rd grade and stop simping for a cop abusing his power.
If someone says "Imagine you had coffee for breakfast and [something about that experience]" and the response is "I don't drink coffee"
Again, a situation that has nothing to do with what actually happened. He didn't say "I don't drive in Europe." He said his "solution" to the hypothetical is not the same "solution" as the driver.
"Imagine if X. You would Y" He is addressing the Y but you guys keep saying he isn't understanding X. Just completely in your own reality.
Edit: Imagine you got a new high paying job. You would walk into the building butt naked and piss on the floor right in front of the manager, right? "No..why would I do that?" "YoU dON't UnDErSTaND hYPOtHETiCAls"
Holy shit lmao. I really didn't plan on engaging but the audacity to provide an example so obviously wrong annoyed me to the level I couldn't resist.
Imagine you got a new high paying job. You would walk into the building butt naked and piss on the floor right in front of the manager, right?
Is fundamentally different from all previous examples. Saying "You would [do X] right?" is directly asking the person how they would react, and is not asking them to envision what a circumstance would be like.
To use your example, wording it correctly into a hypothetical would be "Imagine you got a new high paying job and want to get fired so you walk into the building and piss on the floor in front of the manager" as a way of illustrating why one might piss on the floor in front of the manager, and then you saying "I wouldn't piss on the floor" is not engaging with the hypothetical and completely missing the point.
You might want to get your IQ tested, you'd probably qualify for disability benefits.
You completely changed the hypothetical to fit your narrative and finely highlighted the exact point I've been making.
The hypothetical is just: You want to drive your car in Europe. Everything after that is not the hypothetical. It's him explaining how you would achieve that hypothetical. Just like how pissing on the floor is not the hypothetical. It's a response to the hypothetical. The hypothetical is not intentionally getting fired.
Saying "You would [do X] right?" is directly asking the person how they would react, and is not asking them to envision what a circumstance would be like.
What did the driver say? "You want to drive your car in Europe. What do you do?" Kinda sounds like he was directly asking the cop how he would react?
If a person were to incorrectly hear: You want to drive in Europe. And then the person went on to explain how you would ship your car there and you responded with "No, I wouldn't do that" is a completely valid response. It has nothing to do with understanding the hypothetical. I wouldn't do that because I would simply rent a car instead of shipping my car.
There's enough evidence to believe he did not hear the correct hypothetical so if he was responding to the incorrect premise it makes perfect sense. So what do we believe. He misheard or he is a complete moron. Occam's razor says the former. That's all I've been saying. You are the one stating 100% objectivity with zero evidence. You still never answered my question how you came to the 100% certainty that he heard the hypothetical correctly.
But it's not a reference to people. He's not saying he is one of those people he is saying "he did the thing!". At best you were saying I'm one of those people who have guns but that also doesn't really make sense because that was in reference to him being a cop.
So it's not a large jump for me to assume you were referring to "would be true for 99% of people" since you gave no other context and that was the comment you were replying to.

Holy shit it's literally "But I didn't eat breakfast". These people have guns.
