Boy.. I could NOT disagree with you more about this. I think the cop in Vegas handled that situation 100% more professionally.
He asked the kid to take his hands out of his pockets.. He EXPLAINED WHY.. cause "you're making me nervous"... Then, he physically subdued the kid WITHOUT having to use a Taser. He even warned the kid that he was GOING To get tasered if he didn't comply. I have ZERO problem with what was done here.
Contrast that with the UHP bully.. who never even warned Massey that he could be arrested if he didn't sign.
BTW>>> Notice that the UHP spokesperson mentioned that officer's "have the option of just writing Refused to sign" on the ticket. NONE of this had to happen. Just a roque cop on a power trip.. not wishing to take ANY bull.... did the officer notice the 15 month old in the car? Just wondering.... Don't you think just the THREAT of being arrested would have been enough to end this?
