Now, THIS may be the first sensible answer I’ve seen on this thread.... your brother sounds like a cop who is truly “serving the public”.
I really can’t see why anyone would try to defend this cop’s actions.
I previously asked, “How did this video get released?” I really didn’t know for sure... but, actually... I was ASSUMING that the driver had somehow gotten it, and posted. He’s really the only person who has something to GAIN from people seeing it.
This is NOT propaganda... it’s a video record of what happened... for ALL to see. And what it shows is.. a smart-ass kid who is obviously ignorant of the amount of trouble he’s in... and, and ass-hole cop who thinks everyone he sees should hop on his command.
I think... it is ONLY the cop who has anything to worry about from this video. THAT ALONE speaks volumes.

Well stated. I’m sure there is great concern among the rank and file that the dash cams are being used against the LEOs now.
And... just to answer you flamers: Yes.. I understand that being a cop is a DIFFICULT job. One that can become life-threatening at any moment. I get that. That’s why, some people just can’t, or shouldn’t do it.
On this day...this cop was one who shouldn’t be carrying a lethal weapon representing the public. I’d want to hear more of his record before wanting to get rid of him. But, he definitely needs some type of discipline to get him to understand why his actions were unacceptable. Maybe, he should just have to watch the film a 100 times....
My guess is... he still feels like the victim here. I doubt he “gets it”.
