The phrase "high crime area" was mine and was used simply as an abbreviated version of, "First of all we have people try to commit suicide in here. We have car thieves come in here. We have people break into cars here." The "recent rash" was assumed by me since the cop was sitting in said parking lot at the time of this incident.

I'm saying the above coupled with numbnuts pulling into this lot at 2am and immediately start giving the cop a hard time when the cop asks "who are you" and "why are you here" -- legitimate questions given the above.

"The cop's behavior is 100% indefensible.

I agree. And since it's on tape, his superiors have little choice but to fire him. It's immaterial that he was set up and goaded into responding the way he did - but it's true. In my opinion.

Your "the bitch set me up" defense has given so much joy and amusement to so many on this Sunday afternoon.

Thank you.
