Ok... I've listened 3 more times... with my Bose sound-cancelling head phones... I just DON'T hear that. I do hear the driver saying, "No, I'm not".... I think, to whether or not he will sign the ticket.
I would LIKE to hear some evidence that the officer warned him he might be arrested. I REALLY would like to hear that, because it would go a LONG way toward changing my opinion.
In the arrest video from Vegas posted earlier... the officer gave clear instructions about what was going to happen... then, took action. I'm 100% OK with that.
In this case... the cop seems to have made up his mind about what he's going to do, but doesn't bother to inform the driver.
Do you really think this guys WANTS to be arrested? I mean... c'mon.. really? I think, a few firm threats would have gone a long way toward defusing the situation. But.... I get it. You don't see it that way.
Just curious... In what state do you patrol?
“I do hear the driver saying, “No, I’m not”.... I think, to whether or not he will sign the ticket.”
That is correct.
I listened several times, and I don’t hear the officer make that statement either.
I think “turn around and put your hands behind your back”,”turn around put your hands behind your back”, “turn around”, “turn around” is pretty clear.
FOUR CHANCES to do as the officer asked.
Anyone who doesn’t understand that “turn around and put your hands behind your back” means you are being ‘arrested’, is a pretty delusional person.
“Just curious... In what state do you patrol?”
I guess I asked for that with my “do they call you Massey” comment.
You misjudge me on that. My only associations with the police have been on the barrel end of their guns.
Once was on the barrel end of a SWAT rifle, with the so called Jack Booted thugs wearing ski masks.
