Since we all love a little cop drama
 

I saw a little bit of information about this on the news today thought I would make sure everyone in OOT was made aware of it.
Link to the story
Link to youtube video

What do you think should happen to this cop? It seems like this is just more proof that so many cops around this country think that they are better than everyone else.

Well, what are OOT's thought and reactions?

Great story - heard it on the radio this afternoon - but man do you get a D for effort. Nobody clicks links...

Brett Darrow rigged a dashboard camera in his car and then recorded a St. George, Mo., police officer who started yelling and threatening the 20-year-old after he stopped in a commuter parking lot.

The video hilarious. The kid is an absolute douche, and the cop is a nutjob. Worth watching. Cop should be terminated. Kid's gonna get his ass kicked someday, but that doesn't make the cop any less wrong.

Sure, cops suck occasionally. Are there good alternatives?

I can't wait to move to Utopia where nothing ever goes wrong and nobody ever overreacts.

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

ugh what an absolute buffoon

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

In the other thread about this someone mentions that this kid and the city/cops have a pretty rocky history of some sort. I'm too lazy to look it up.

Is the constant clicking there simply to drive me insane?

Cop is a nutbag. Dude did nothing to deserve it other than ask why he can't park in a parking lot.

what clicking?

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

I think the clicking is his radar detector.

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

This guy has to lose his job, right? He threatens to make stuff up to pin on the driver. That's got to be a violation of something, doesn't it?

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

Scariest part is part 3 of the video where the chief of police says the kid was "using antagonistic language" by asserting his rights and, within his legal rights, not complying with everything the a-hole cop barked at him.

What a dbag. Was there a midget playing with kerbangers that we couldn't see?

I liked the part where he was threatening the kid that he had him on video. Little did he know.

Ok. I kind of zoned out with all the noise. It was a little hard to hear.

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

Kid was a definite douche. There's a real difference between simply asserting your rights and being an ashole. The problem is that cops react just like anybody else would. If you're a hudge ass to the waiter/cooks at a restaurant, guess what. You're getting spit or dirt in your food. Piss off your landlord and repairs take an extra couple days. The problem is that cops have SO much more power than other people you might interact with. Because of the insane amount of power they hold I really believe there should be much higher standards in order to become a cop. Wouldn't fix everything but is a good place to start.

He definitely seems to lighten up when he figures out he is being recorded

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

I hope they fire that cop, that was unnecessary.

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

usually I side with the cops a lot, but teh cops in that municipality (about 3 blocks outside stl city) are complete [censored] douche bag pieces of [censored] (at least most of them). Its one of those counties that you purposely avoid driving through.

edit: this county has always had a bad rep, I guess Ill start going through it now, Ill just make sure I have a tripod strapped to teh dash

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

I don't really see how the kid is a huge douchebag. I think the cop is more of a douchebag. He quite obviously became a cop to exert his power on other people to make himself feel important. It's pathetic. There's nothing you can do about this because we need cops, but it doesn't change the fact that this guy is a d-bag, and there are others like him that give cops a bad name.

Re: Since we all love a little cop drama
 

What happened to the cop.
