If you click the link in Post #61 I'll bet your level of suspicion will rise substantially,as did mine.IMO this is looking more and more like an experienced cop knowing that there was a distinct possibility that this was far from innocent.Using a shovel to try to enter the home of a woman who had a restraining order on you??? Yikes!
As both cops pointed out—most criminals trying to break into a garage like that, being foiled, wouldn’t simply sit calmly on the front porch afterwards.
The cop clearly went berzerk once the guy took a call and described accurately that he was on his mother’s porch, waiting for her to come home, being harassed by the cops.
The cops didn’t “let this get out of hand”—they completely took it out of hand after he’d been cooperative, giving his id, naming his mother, naming the neighbor, etc.
My first thought on watching the video was that he was lying to the cops. Oh he was telling the truth about it being his mom’s house but he was lying about why he was there. I’m not sure why I thought so. Maybe his mannerisms. Maybe his being almost over eager to explain himself. I think the cop was justified in being suspicious but that does not justify what happened.
Explains much. Thanks for posting.
