Yep, thats what I meant...You’ll take the “ride”...Because they are the one’s in control...Sounds to me like another example of a Law Enforment professional taking it a little too far, when it really didn’t need to...
I’ve been on the receiving end of a similar incident, and my ability to be cool under pressure, never raised my voice, never said anything personal or declarative to the officer(s) making the contact with me, they just didn’t like how cool I was, and took offense at my not taking their bait to become unglued at their provocation...Which is something that did come out in court, and on the video tapes...The judge threw whatever nonsense (his words) the PD and the DA came up with on me and paid me an exhorbant amount of reparation...
When it came to their positions in that department, I was the bigger person in the deal and told the judge that I would rather have them still on the job, than on the streets, not learning the lesson...
Not every civilian is a boogy-man...But I kinda heard in some academies that that IS taught to the rookies...
How unfortunate for those communities that hire these graduates...
“every civilian”
Well, that’s your problem right there.
