Nope, wisecracks aren’t, but failing to reder aid after causing said medical distress certainly can be.

Again, you clearly have no conception of the statute.

I really wish I knew why some people defended all cops, all the time.

Her comment is obviously indefensible.

What I don't understand is why some people think the cops should go to prison for having a bad attitude.

These same people would go ballistic if having a bad attitude was actually illegal.

What, wideawake, does the statute say? Clearly you've read it.

That's a serious question. I haven't read it and I'm curious to know if it would apply.

It goes WAY beyond bad attitude. They knew (or should have reasonably known) that their actions would induce a stressful reaction in the person they stopped.

Did he resist? I don't know--but one thing is for sure. If and when it was determined that this person had NOT been involved in the hit-and-run they were looking for, they should have taken all reasonable actions to assist him rather than leave him there with a "go 'eff yourself" attitude.

I support the police as much as anyone, but not when they pull crap like this.

Or maybe in a semi-related thread, you'd care to spin how a sheriff's deputy up in Wisconsin blows away six people as a "stress" factor?
