I'm a non emergency situation what bothers you about having some common courtesty for the people they are dealing with?

Instead they get that I'M THE AUTHORITY attitude and make actual good police look like idiots.

Wordy, the cop in the audio/video was in the minority; the vast vast vast majority are folks you want around when things go bad.

The bad thing about videos like that one is that it gives the anti-cop nuts a reason to justify their hatred of them all.

When some crackhead is beating down your door at 3am, call a, a, call a...Wordsmythe whatever that is.

I agree, the kid was fishing and caught a live one. Doesn't excuse the actions of the officer. You kind of have to question putting a cam in your car after one speeding ticket. Plus, parking in an area he knows is being patrolled, at an odd time, and did his friend ever show? Convenient that he didn't.

So I guess that means the cop was dumb enough to walk right into a baited trap?

[pootsy]

Sounds just like Officer Strader. I think he acts just like that cop in the video.

Minority or not there are too many of them out there to tolerate.

If a crackhead is beating on my door any time of the day I'll finally get to use the Springfield for its intended purpose. Then I'll call the cops, good or bad, to pick up the mess.

Oh and yes the cameras will be rolling.

As defense attorneys say: Cops lie.
It's time that bad cops, incompetent teachers and perv clergy get kicked out, not just down the road. Video recorders and cell phones have certainly "leveled the playing field."

Mental note to self - don't try to borrow a cup of sugar from anyone at 3:00 AM...

Oh - and I fervently hope I never have cause to thank a defense attorney.
