It’s simple. His attitude. Attitude is everything and his attitude towards the cops, who were responding to a call, was very confrontational. As I said before, you were not there and I was not there and the video does not show what led up to the confrontation. By the guys own admission the cop was being cordial. None of this would have happened had the guy not been such an a$$hole.
By your own admission, right here in black and white, you don't care if he violated any law. He deserved to be arrested because of his attitude with the police.
Absolutely stunning.
If you could be specific.
His attitude. Attitude is everything
You seem a bit ignorant.
Once again,what crime was committed here?
So, you are convicting this guy based on your “Feelings” about his “attitude”.
How nice...
Here is a link to a video of a completely different case. Tell me what you think about this woman's "attitude."
The Freerepublic thread is here. The link is in the thread.
Border check point officer vs young woman in car..'it's none of your business'
Note... the YouTube video has been taken down. I hope the LiveLeak video is still active. It really is worth watching, as this woman is a 20-something year old with her husband videotaping the encounter. She is hardly the confontational type, and you can hear her nervousness in her wavering voice as she stands her ground.
In this case, the woman was stopped at an immigration checkpoint near the border, but on a normal USA road. What looks to be young border agents become arrogant with the woman when she refuses to let them search her car without any cause. They direct her to move to a "secondary holding area," and she refuses to leave the road, demanding to know why she's being detained.
The woman interpreted secondary holding as being detained, and asked if she was being detained or was free to go? She refused to be detained for the simple act of exercising her rights.
The question then becomes, back to your point, how much deference is a common citizen expected to give law enforcement? Would you agree, at least, that there is a minimum expectation that declining to give law enforcement permission to search is not de facto admission of guilt of something that can be used against a person immediately to hold them?
In this case, refusing to answer questions about where one is going with their legally carried gun is not de facto evidence of guilt of something that requires police hostility?
