Another piece **** with a badge

He should have been fired and removed from the job.

Let me put it another way, seeing as how apparently several of his superiors agree with you, because as you might have learned, he's not working in that police department anymore. ;)

---He's liable to have a bad day just like any other human being, it happens.
You're absolutely right, and he probably got fired for being such a dick that the department had to go to court.
Yeah, that probably pissed off everyone from his WC all the way on up.

But it does happen, and had the BSNF railroad guy not sued, he might have gotten an ass chewing from his WC and the buck would have stopped there.

You know, policing has changed many times over the years, sometimes gradually, sometimes not so gradually.
I was a young wiseass punk with long hair playing in a moderately successful rock band up in Minneapolis in the 70's.

One night I mouthed off to one of "the pigs" from the Third Precinct and the two of them responded by cuffing me, throwing me in the back of the patrol car...NOT BUCKLING MY SEAT BELT and tying me at my ankles, and taking me on a ride so wild that I basically got the crap beat out of me by the inside of the police car. Those nice new metal cages are definitely useful, heh heh.
They had to stop a few times to make sure that I was sitting upright in the seat. Yeah, sure...ha ha.
I kinda looked like I'd been in a car accident without a seat belt, facial bruises, bloody lip, oh and did I mention that I "had a little bit of trouble getting into the back of the car" because I "hit my head" on the way into the back seat?

Clever, ain't it? I got the message. They never hit me, not a finger.
Boy howdy, those Plymouth Fury III's with the 440 dual four barrel setups sure do have gobs of acceleration.
Good stopping power too!
Of course, being a motorhead as I was, I already knew that. I also knew that those old Plymouths had a lot of body roll on the corners.
I didn't sue the department because it never even occurred to me that such a thing was likely to get any traction.
Funny thing is, I was very courteous to the police after that, and those two officers were actually really nice to me after that, too. They were even super helpful on one occasion.

I'm just relating that old story to point out that both sides could have handled everything a lot differently.
And in the case that is the topic of this thread, that railroad guy could have handled himself differently, too.

Off-topic and nitpicky, but...

Dual four barrels were never offered on the 440 - there was a triple two barrel but it was discontinued after 1971 and never was offered in police packages. Multiple carbs tend to be finicky and high maintenance, which cut into police budgets and reliability. Cop 440s were single four barrel.

Police packages were offered on the Fury III but, being a higher end trim, it often was reserved for the upper ranks. Patrol grunts usually got stuck with the cheaper Fury I or even lower models.

That's normal. body cams are on all day long and to save battery it only do video. when the officer presses the record button, the camera records up to 30 seconds prior to him hitting record.
 
lmao this moron thinks he's hard but when he loses his paycheck and the video goes viral he'll get effed.

So you spent how many posts telling me how I should know what you're taking about when you could've spent one post explaining the relevancy of your post.
