"White was charged with resisting arrest and obstructing a peace officer Feb. 14, when he closed an interior door to the foyer of his apartment when he saw a man there.

The charges were later dropped.

Police were at the building to arrest another man for failing to pay a fine.

The lawsuit, filed last week, claims Anderson entered White's house without knocking and did not identify himself as an officer. It also says the officer's "bravado and egotism" caused White severe emotional distress.

Sounds like police acting stupidly."

Scared a lot of politically correct people I reckon.
The whole democrat party would have to be put in jail.

Too bad - I think he should be elevated to hero status, along with the cop in the South some years ago that went off on an immigrant driver about “we don’t do things like that in this country”.
