This is where cops need better training. They're trained to have full charge of a situation no matter what. They'll arrest anyone, allow people to be put in danger, take away any rights, even let people die before they relinquish an inch of control. You could be fighting to get your kid out of a burning car and if you ignore the cop telling you to get back he'll probably taser you before giving it a second thought.

Somehow whenever I watch one of these fascist cops, I can't help but think of this guy.

I actually have friends who are cops and my understanding of their training is that it includes a rule that life saving techniques and procedures get precedence over law enforcement. If this cop hadn't been trained to know that, he wouldn't have been liable, his department would have been. This cop was an idiot and he paid for it. Case closed.

Case reopened. It's comforting to see an officer being held accountable for his actions. I get so sick of hearing they receive a suspension with pay as their punishment. What kind of punishment is that? That's called a vacation!

What a crazy bitch. All these crazy bitch videos make me think of a non-funny version of South Park's Cartman saying, you will respect my authority

How in the world did he ever think no one would have a problem with that?

Shame he fits so closely the stereotypical image of the abusive, ineffectual cop who is so fat he waddles down the blacktop. Even got a little piggy mustache. What a fucking douche.

Embarassment to the force.
