I need more info before I can blame the cops here. One, what is the area like? If its a high crime area, or one with prostitution present, then maybe the officer had some reason to do this.
I do not trust the media to give all the details. There are some serious questions that need to be answered before can say which side is in the wrong.
It very well may be the officer overstepped his bounds. The fact that the officers supervisor backed him up leads me to think there was some reason for the request.
I guess the courts will work it all out, like it should.
Strange, I found plenty of info in the article to blame the cops.
"The fact that the officers supervisor backed him up leads me to think there was some reason for the request. "
If the cop kicked some little girls dog to death they would still back him up.
