It will be interesting to see if the Police Officer is vindicated.
I don't much like surveillance cameras in general, but these patrol car cameras strike me as a very good idea.
Yosel, what is it about, "Step away from the car!" you don't understand?
Book 'em.
“The rabbi was released and allowed to go to hospital - told to surrender the next day. He did not. Instead, hundreds of members of the orthodox community staged a protest outside of police headquarters.”
You are right, That is very interesting.
“The rabbi did appear at the police station today. He was photographed, finger printed and charged with aggravated assault of a police officer and resisting arrest.”
Even more interesting.
I wonder if it is a normal custom and practice for this PD to release and then “order to surrender” persons suspected of committing aggravated assault on a police officer and also suspected of resisting arrest
I can't wait to see the video.
What part of "step away from the vehicle" didn't he understand? Police officers don't have the time or resources to check the community standing of everyone who disregards their instructions. He should have been taken to the station and booked for obstruction of justice. The good Rabbi should not even have stopped. This officer did nothing wrong from what I read.
If he touched the cop, he should go to jail. You don't mess with a police officer in the lawful pursuit of his duties.
What was the rabbi thinking getting involved in the traffic stop, anyway? He wasn't part of the incident. He should have stayed the heck out of it.
as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.
it's not too smart to fight with the police.
