One of those guys who joined the force to get back at Daddy?

The cops screwed up. They forgot to impound the video for “processing.” Like in the Costco case.
it’s taking less and less to make those “heros” melt down these days, isn’t it?
Tthree ***misdemeanor*** charges?????
What I find annoying is that the guy got arrested purely on what the cop said. I would make sure that this guy never received another dime from any profession without me wetting my beak first.
The many good cops out there should be paid well. The bad cops, like this one, should go to jail and should never be allowed near authority power again.
I myself was falsely arrested recently, when I refused to consent to an unconstitutional search of my vehicle, after being stopped in an obvious case of racial profiling. I was white guy driving in the wrong neighborhood, after having dropped off my black girlfriend.
I have a friend who, if stopped by Lauderdale PD, will close his windows and lock his car doors, and then call the sheriff's office and wait for them to arrive. That's how much he distrusts Lauderdale PD.
IMHO, Lauderdale PD is dominated by a bunch of clowns who abuse their power, don't know the Constitution, and could care less whether it existed or not...
Fort Lauderdale and Miami have had to LOWER their police requirements to attract folks willing to wear the badge in such a crap hole.
Obviously not always the best caliber folks attracted.
Only misdemeanor charges? The problem with our police forces is they have not evolved beyond the first police municipal force in New York in the Nineteenth Century. The city decided to hire one of the warring gangs to be on its side. Until “cops” like this are charged with felonies for pulling deadly weapons on people, with assaulting people, and filing false official statements, our police forces will simply be gangs with uniforms.
