As a former cop, I can attest that anyone can make a formal complaint against a police officer for any reason. I had one for merely pulling over a guy who was weaving all over the road. He didnt turn out to be intoxicated (I didnt know what his problem was) and didnt arrest him, but he still wanted my badge for insulting him.
I can also attest that a police officer who goes through his career with very few or no complaints is a slacker.
And I am not at all defending the offending officer in this case.
Thank you very much for that perspective
Thanks!!!!!
