We saw the footage on our local news. He needed to be gotten rid of. I would hope, and assume that his actions doesn’t and wouldn’t reflect that of the entire squad. I never even thought of it.

Good for Darrow. Kid has huevos to go after the corrupt thugs. I am sure he has learned to remain very visible to prevent the thug’s buddies from giving him an “attitude adjustment”.

This kind of stuff happens all the time, but now that cameras are cheap & plentiful, we’ll see more proof of it. That’s one way to hold LEO’s to their own professed code of ethics.

Good. I watched the tape. That goon didn’t deserve a badge. LEO’s like him make the job harder for honest cops.

What? It’s illegal to beat motorists now?

[CodeToad]

Good outcome. What the cop did in my opinion is also illegal and he should be at least charged with menacing, pay a $250 fine and be on probation for a year. That seems like something a non-cop citizen would get if they did something like that.

Justice is served!

That's because Kuehnlein should have been taping the encounter himself with his police car's camera.

No such footage could be found, though the camera is functional, Uhrig said.

Every police car should have a camera, both to protect citizens interacting with the officers and to protect the officers themselves from false accusations and to provide footage that can aid a prosecution if an arrest is made. It shouldn't be possible for officers to turn off the camera.

It turns out, he had legitimate reason for concern. Three months ago, participants in an online forum frequented by Saint Louis law enforcement personnel threatened to harass -- and even physically harm -- Darrow.
