The guy in the house could just as easily said: “Oh sorry you did not get the info” Here! I’m not arguing that this particular cop is a saint. I don’t know. I’m merely pointing out a frequently expressed attitude obnoxiously stated “I have my “RIGHTS you pig.” As the man said over a hundred years ago: “A policeman’s lot is not a happy one.”
No he couldn’t - according to the story the cop just took him down when he pulled his ID back.
The cap was a freaking guest in the guy’s home - but he behaved like the overlord.
From the story - the cop overstepped big time, there is no excuse for escalating a case of mistaken identity in this way.
Once the man told him he lived there, the cop was duty bound to confirm it, but he was also just as duty bound to afford the man every courtesy until he could prove or disprove his claim. He didn’t do that, he was the one in control, he chose to attack. There is nothing you can say, other than presenting evidence that the story is wrong, that can change my opinion. The man was in his own home - the cop was there because of a false report. The cop forcably took him to jail - WRONG!
