He was hysterical, the loss of control over his language should have gotten the other cops to go calm him down before he started attacking and even pulled his gun.
The guy is a Barnyey Fife, if you remember, even in Mayberry, once the kids realized that Barney was so easily rattled that they picked on him.
This hysterical guy was not the cops we used to know years ago, even in the 50s and 60s, kids would have singled him out for teasing and harassment.
Were you one of those kids that picked on the Barney Fifes? Because I really didn’t see it in that video...especially with the sound off so I could hear the talking heads reinterpreting it. I didn’t hear any of the bad language on the audio I did listen to later on...just being told that the bad language was there...according to the talking heads. He may very well have used some epithets; epithets are often used by even normal folks during stressful periods.
Well the cop will be the sacrificial lamb anyway, he will lose his job and that will be it. Satisfied! All he needs to do now is shoot a dog and it will make his turn to the dark side complete!
