Probably has a lot to do with the wonderful, upstanding citizens.
edit: ok, watched the video - I don't see the problem. Last edited by bren; 02-12-2008 at 09:36 AM. |

I see a problem in the way he handled it. Northeastern big mouth attitude. Regardless of how the "suspects" are acting, it's the officer's job to remain cool and collected. And he's not going to win over any affection from the general public if he conducts himself that way. You want the people you're protecting to be on your side, not against you.

You guys who think this officer acted appropriately and "don't see the problem" have me worried.
He was way, way over the line, perhaps officer RIV-I-ERA has seen too many episodes of Dog The Bounty Hunter, or just felt ridiculous wearing those shorts, but it's clear he has a lot of issues and taking one's anger issues out on a bunch of kids is inappropriate. Thankfully there's a video and rightfully, he was suspended. Geeze.... Ed |

I too see no problem... I saw this clip last night on the news. I think the policeman was just suspended as of yesterday, but they're looking for the filmographer and there was no incident report.
