Found another AP story that says the driver posted it. Then, after posting it, he announced he was going to sue. Busily working to taint the jury pool, I suppose. He has a trial on the speeding ticket in January, maybe he's hoping to make a trade.
Well, well, well.
Now we might be actually getting to the bottom of this little story.
As I stated earlier, (IMHO) this is the kind of guy that would run over and kill a construction worker, or a child, and leave the scene of the crime if he thought no one saw it.
AND who will try to RUIN the career of the police officer who was trying to protect the lives of construction workers.
AND LOOK AT ALL THE HELP HE IS GETTING HERE ON F.R.
Many of the posters on the threads about this incident make ME WANT TO PUKE.
Hopefully, this will all be exposed, the case will be tried properly, the young man will learn his lesson and pay his fine, and the officer will continue on his job.
And hopefully, some posters on FR will take a little more time to find out the facts instead of RUSHING TO JUDGMENT and being manipulated by YOUTUBE.
THANK YOU, ArmstedFragg, for doing your own thinking and investigating and providing it for all to see.
Or even better, simply protecting a video that was mysteriously going to disappear...you know, damaging evidence that could show how malicious the LEO was in his actions.
Considering the whiners on this thread (95% of the posters) who are screaming about the officer being drunk on power, a sadist, psycho, etc. I would say that his little PR blitz is working beyond his wildest dreams.
