Reading through some of the facebook comments, I saw this.... of course, I have no idea if it's true or not, so take it with a grain of salt.

Robin Boyce Gerard Giudice I respect your opinion... Again this man is not a cop hater. He is going through some legal issues with his family. He himself did Not commit any crimes, yet is being harassed for over a year because he decided to stand up for what he in his heart believes is right. Without going into detail, this video was recorded solely to get the attention of RPPSD and to validate his claims of harassment... He did not expect this to go viral and did not want the "Media Attention" this is why he declined to be interviewed by ABC News... He just wants to be left alone.
How would you feel, of officers constantly drove by your house, harassing you? This officer was there Solely to taunt and harass this man!
If he was there for any other purpose then he would have said that reason.
I appreciate your stance for LE mine is too usually wanting to back them and I don't want our streets to be patrolled by weak officers. They're not suppose to be nice when dealing with criminals.
Don is not a criminal, he's a good person, father, husband, employee and a law abiding citizen. It's crazy what's been happening for the last year or so, and I'm happy he finally got something on video to validate his claims! Oh that's why the officer was there because Don filed a claim against a officers with RPPSD and PPD the day prior to this event. Coincidence?

“Oh that’s why the officer was there because Don filed a claim against a officers with RPPSD and PPD the day prior to this event. Coincidence?”
No, not at all. About 5 years ago I filed a formal written complaint against one of our town’s cops. You have no idea what kind of a $hit storm I got from the County Sheriff’s Department over the complaint ( they contract to run our PD). I was threatened by a Lieutenant who is an adjutant for the sheriff himself with incarceration for filing what he termed “a false report.” When the city council finally forced the police chief to deal with me, my wife and I were “interrogated” ( like in a room with no windows, a cop and a tape recorder). This guy’s “mission” was to try and get me to say something that was at variance with the written statement. We simply told him that everything contained in the report was factual and did he have any questions. Finally the chief met with us and his whole pitch was that my report was going to be part of his “good officer’s” personnel file and that it was DAMAGING to him. This ended up being all about “protecting” the cop from his actions. I can’t print what my wife said to the chief.
