The cop went over the line, and this Brett kid was looking for trouble.
The cop should've known better. Dumb move by him.
I understand why the cop lost his job: from now on, any time he gets a perp, the lawyers would call into question his veracity based on this alone.
Sad, but true.
Even worse: there are millions who still think Bill Clinton tells the truth.
There is a HUGE difference between "Looking for trouble" and being "READY for trouble". Luck favors the prepared. He was sitting in a parking lot minding his own business, how in Odin's Beard can you come to the conclusion that that is "looking for trouble"????? Sheesh.
I think you need some more recovering.
