You just did defend him. This cop is now a felon. Did you even read the Statute I cited?

Yes I did, but you didn't address the extenuating circumstances I noted. If you have a CO2 leak in your home but you don't want to leave, can a fireman or cop force you out of your own home? Of course.

If you're standing on a crime scene and cops are fighting with a suspect can you be moved fomr the area for your safety? And if you turn into a little punk with an iPhone and won't leave, then it's on you. Now the cops have to deal with wide-eyed (propbably drunk) gawkers who want a cool video while the other cops are rolling around with the suspect.

Again, I'm not defending the cops words and tactics. I'm saying he had a duty to do what he did. He just did it in the absolute wrong way.
