Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Since when do cops decide what are appropriate questions? I can see how a person could get annoyed at being shut off by cops. I have some sympathy for the cops too. The guy was clearly looking for trouble. At some point, even if they're wrong, you have to comply with the cops.
I wasn't very impressed by these police. Four of them couldn't control a wimpy-looking college kid. They seemed to escalate very quickly. They went from trying to hold his arm to a taser-aided beatdown in about a second. Let that be a lesson: a lot of cops have a huge chip on their shoulder and are just looking for an excuse to tase people, throw them down and try to dislocate a shoulder,etc. I think these cops should have been able to handle this situation nonviolently. It's not like this was a violent criminal or a crazed guy waving a gun. If I'm their Chief, a couple of them are getting unpaid vacations.
Wow, speaking like a true liberal...
