But the officer himself says in his complaint that a command was given. Do you automatically think all cops are liars? I mean, c’mon, the kid’s 22 years old. Probably highly idealistic as well. He was just doing his job.
LOL, nice loaded question. You should apply to the NY Times. For your answer, I think this particular cop is a liar, especially in light of the video at hand. Besides saying that he gave a command, he also says that the bicyclist ran into him. If he lied about one part of his statement, then I view his entire statement as suspect.
If that's what you call doing his job then hopefully you're not a Cop.
The 22 YO "kid" Cop has lost his job and has been stopped in his tracks. We don't need Cops like this guy, trust me, any Cop will tell you that.
