There are individuals who are addicted to the adrenalin rush. As a correctional officer, I worked with an officer who, during line-up at the beginning of our shift, would start huffing and puffing and making menacing faces. By the time we entered the dayroom to relieve the other shift, he was all hopped up on adrenalin. If we had any trouble, it would have been because of him.
Understand and agree. But in looking at the body cam footage, this Sergeant was very patient it appears to me, and the kid was (rightfully or wrongly) resistive and nonresponsive to commands. Whether you agree with the system or not, the one who drastically escalated the stop was the kid.
“If we had any trouble, it would have been because of him.”
I worked with a couple of guys like that over the years. They could start a riot in an empty church.
