Thank you for posting the video. After watching the first few minutes, it is clear the husband was purposely being a PITA, being uncooperative and was filming the cop from the get-go.

If he had immediately told the cop his wife was pregnant and had to get her to the ER his actions may have made sense. However, he aggressively refused to show his drivers license.

That was enough for me to check the article more closely and realized the story and the headline are a hit piece on the cop. I did not waste time watching the rest. Those with more patience can do that.

It is disappointing that so many FReepers got sucked in and jumped to conclusions without checking the video you posted so soon after the original post. We have to avoid following the herd without knowing all the facts.

News articles are purposefully written to create chaos and insanity. Key facts are purposefully left out in order to get the reactions we see. Many times I’ve gotten upset over an article only to later get all the facts which then change the entire incident completely. Unfortunately it’s all too easy to get sucked in.
