Never once from the body language I saw from Mr. V did I ever get the sense of a physical sense of danger or bodily concern for the officer (I use that term VERY loosely here).
Even a bystander called the cop out on his treatment of him and obviously felt threatened..
IMO, the supervisor was first doing damage control and recording of back up confirmation of on-site claims - then getting him to get EMTs on scene to document.. Very specific legally language, IMO.
The Rambo skinhead? Should never ever been considered for hiring.
True, I believe Mr. Velasquez “set” the thug off by not respecting (dissing) his “authority” when shown he was in error.
I agree that the interviewer/supervisor was more than likely attempting some damage control, but at the same time, his tone appears to sound concerned. Whether that means he’s “concerned” about the dept. or Mr. Velasquez, I don’t know, but at least he didn’t exacerbate/escalate the situation by dismissing Mr. Velasquez’s statements.
Agreed on the wannabe “rambo”...I suspect he was embarrassed by his error in pulling Mr. Velasquez over erroneously and his pride/ego got the better of him.
I suppose many leo’s don’t appreciate that sometimes the citizen may know the law better than they.
