“and takes seriously all customer service issues. “
Anyone besides me see the problem here?
disgusting and they wonder why cops get a bad rep.
Must be a pretty slow day for the cops when they’re reduced to checking handicapped IDs.
Meanwhile, the two black babes with a wide load and thunder thighs, park in the next handicapped spot, waddle in and pick the electric carts so they can do their shopping. Their disability? Too many Cheetos. Or whatever.
I see them all the time. They’re disgusting. They’re “entitled”.
the cop had no more right to berate a disabled person than anyone else, in California at least, his only option would be to ask to see the DMV printout verifying the placard was issued to the person in question, thank him and leave. Not every disabled person show constant obvious symptoms, I don’t, yet I am disabled and do have a placard which depending on the severity of my symptoms I will or will not use. This cop needs anger management intervention and a real hard look if should continue to be out with the public.
Anyone ever talked to a disabled parking space advocate about fakers parking in those spots?
Oh, my gosh. CALL the POLICE, lol.

Another cop to be fired. What an idiot.
Sue the Bastids. When I was in college the Riviera Beach cops were Azzholes. Some things never change.
A close friend had this experience several times. Her response was to take off her wig and say something to the effect of:
“I’m terminal with metastatic pancreatic cancer, and half the time when I go out in public, some ____ like you yells at me because it’s not obvious why I can’t walk from the far end of the parking lot. I have barely enough energy to buy a wedding gift for my daughter and only a few weeks left to live, so your rudeness won’t bother me for long. You get to spend forever thinking about why you were wrong today. Learn from it.”
There are people who abuse handicapped parking, but strangers should be very careful before they assume that is what they are seeing.

I know a man who has had a prosthetic leg from childhood.
He drives very nice looking vehicles, since he is a successful businessman and has worked hard all his life.
And yeah, he has a handicapped parking tag, and parks in the those slots.
A casual busybody wouldn't even guess that he is a one legged man, seeing him get quickly in and out of his very expensive vehicle.
People need to mind their own business in such matters.
If it bothers one, just consider them “mentally handicapped” and continue to enjoy your ill informed self-righteousness in private.
As to this cop, I couldn't see the video.
But if that cop was rudely harassing anyone with a “special tag”, he needs to get schooled the hard way.
When I got my DAV car tag they offered me handicap, I declined as I am physically able walk from anywhere in the parking lot to the store.
Leave those parking spots for those that need it.
That being said it often seems like handicap spaces are empty a lot, unless you are at the commissary.
That aside, I've always been amused with this whole handicapped thing. I mean, people will park in handicapped spaces at a shopping mall and then go on inside the mall and walk for miles. It seems like doctors are just handing these stickers out like lollipops. Personally, I'd be embarrassed parking in one of those spaces unless I came out of my vehicle in a wheelchair or something.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”
The cop has no authority to question the placard. He should be charged with felony menacing.
No video at link.
Also, he OBVIOUSLY has an inferiority complex about his position relative to soldiers. As well he should. There is no positive comparison.
