Damn. What would this cop do if he wasn’t recorded?
I’d read this story on other sites before but hadn’t bothered to watch the video before now. I’ve seen a number of videos where cops have had (inappropriate) reactions to being provoked, and expected that there had to be some cause for the officer’s behavior as I’d read it described.
Nope. None. The officer is in severe need of anger management and possibly drug rehabilitation (as flipped out as he was, he might be chasing the ‘roids with some white powder from the evidence locker). He can get both of those during the couple years he needs to spend in prison after losing his badge and his pension. Pension money can go towards the six figure settlement for the guy whose life he repeatedly threatened, and whose civil rights he threatened to violate. His partner, Officer Milquetoast, didn’t really participate, so he should just be fired and barred from ever working in law enforcement again.
Was there ever any justification for the encounter in the first place? The car wasn’t even moving at the time they “stopped” them. Seems to me they could have just declined to speak to the cops and left, although the lunatic cop might have started shooting at them if they had.
No doubt, he will be retired on psych disability and we will all be paying his salary for the rest of his life while he sits around with his thumb up his ass and gets drunk every day.
Some cops, like some civilians, just need killing.
power trip plus obvious roid rage. I am surprise the dash cam footage didn’t just disappear.
Riod Rage.
Too many bad cops on the job who have entirely too much time on their hands. They tend to make mountains out of molehills.
Just this week I saw a motorist (no passengers) pulled over by a county sheriff’s vehicle. by the time I drew even with him there were four sheriff’a vehicles. As I continued down the road two more were rushing to the scene.
It seems that we’ve got too many police officers who get bored and haven’t anything to do except ride around in air conditioned cars. Budget cuts? Take a look at local law enforcement. The central socialist government is another boondoggle.
This reminds me of the Muslim problem in that MUslims do not speak out when other Muslims kill people. Well, where is the LE community on this? Not a peep.
