“The cop handled this entire situation very very poorly from the beginning.”
What would you have done different?
“What would you have done different?”
Oh I dunno, perhaps maintained control of the situation from the beginning. Perhaps actually telling him that signing was not an admission of guilt. Perhaps telling him he would be arrested if he didn’t sign. Perhaps warning him he was going to be tazed if his behavior didn’t change.
But gardner did none of these things.
