did that really require three cops lmao

[fauxkaren]

lol no. But I think those cops were hanging in the area (Yoongi I think drove past them on his way to his complex?) and they probs went over to help him pick up his scooter and then when they smelled the alcohol on him they breathalyzed him.

Yeah in the video you see him riding right in front of the three of them, he disappears around the corner, and you see one officer point in his direction as a reaction to his fall

[fauxkaren]

lol exactly so like clearly he wasn't driving the scooter dangerously if he rode right past them and nothing about his scooter handling caused them to try to stop him then.

It was a dumb decision. But it was ultimately not a huge deal and he is getting punished appropriately in a way that fits that crime and we can all hope and believe he has learned a lesson and will not do it again. End of scandal. But nooooooooooo ppl had to lie and distort Yoongi's statement and use false footage to craft a narrative that made the incident seem much worse than it was.

clearly he wasn't driving the scooter dangerously

driving it drunk is driving it dangerously tho, no matter the speed

[fauxkaren]

Fair. Erratically was probably the word I should have used to better express what I meant.

i think they were just police offiers who were around the area. the president lives there
