Honestly, they were both douchebags. I could only watch half of it before I got tired of the bickering back and forth. From what I gathered, the black guy was double parked dropping someone off and the cop wanted him to move his vehicle. When he didn't move it fast enough the officer decided to make it a traffic stop and exert his authority. From the moment the officer opened his mouth it was apparent what his intentions were. Black guy should have complied but instead he played right into the stupid game the officer wanted to play and as a result more resources were called in because of a vehicle wasn't moved fast enough on a dead street. What a hero this cop is. Who's going to nominate him for the medal of merit for giving lawful orders making sure double parked vehicles move along  I'm not condoning the actions of the black man. He's an idiot for acting the way he did. That said, while this officer is getting praised for his patience and professionalism, I see an officer who wasted a lot of time and resources to move a double parked vehicle on a dead street. If he worked in the private sector, that's not the kind of returns management is looking for. Then again, maybe that's why he's a government worker and is being applauded for pretty much wasting everyone's time and money. | |||

What the hell is the Community Oversight Task Force? I've never heard of such a thing. . | |||

How would you have handled the situation differently? | |||

I guess you don't believe in the "Broken Windows" theory. At the moment, the motorist was a broken window.
Um, okey dokey. Whatever you say. You've only been here a short time, but we've got a lot of hard working caring government workers here. It would be wrong to imply that private sector workers are somehow more effective, if that's what you were indeed trying to say in your last sentences there. . | |||

I have doubled parked before. Cop pulled up next to me, asked me what I was doing (picking up a friend who was on her way down) and he told me I was double parked and to move as soon as I picked her up. He moved on right after he told me. No 1 hour stop with multiple officers on scene, imagine that. | |||

Form a social standpoint I don't know enough about broken windows theory to tell you whether or not it's effective. From an organizational standpoint, make sure you put a cover sheet on your TPS reports. | |||

I'm going to guess that the "Community Oversight Task Force" is an appointed group of civilians that exist to assure the police are not violating rights and covering it up. They probably review incidents to 'assure' the community that officers are treating civilians fairly. I'm further going to guess that this guy, given his position, decided that he can do what he wants and got caught breaking the law. He then decided to do whatever he could to turn it into a major incident hoping the officer would lose his cool and either rough him up, or arrest him so that he could turn it into the next Ferguson. I'll bet the officer recognized him and just wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.

Anyone who thinks this was a good use of his time and the time of his fellow officers is a moron. Clear enough for you? | |||

Oh seriously. You yourself said "I don't know enough about broken windows theory to tell you whether or not it's effective." Bit of a leap of logic to imply that someone is a moron. . | |||

NO. The officer did his job in spectacular fashion. I would have fully expected to be arrested for being that much of an asshole to an officer giving me a well deserved ticket. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Well, this thread went sideways. I bet the officer knew the area. Probably had issues with people stopping in the street. I lived on a street once where a few people thought they could just stop and block part of the road all the time. Picking someone up, no need to park just pull up in front and blow a horn. Dropping someone off and decide to have a 5-minute conversation in the middle of the road before moving on. That stuff gets annoying when it happening on your street all the time. No idea if that is the case here but I bet the cop knows the area. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

Mars, I agree with you. Write the ticket or arrest him. Zecpull is spot on with what should have happened. How many times did the officer ask for his license and registration? 60+ times? Had to call for 2 units to back him up so he could write him a citation? Yeah, give me a whole police force filled with guys just like that. He's got upper management written all over him | |||

Look, lets not name call other members. Everyone has a right to be dumb. We have all had it. Does he know many of us do this every day? Probably not. However, the officer showed professionalism. Most people don't understand you cant arrest everyone who jaywalks. Same principle. Why busy your booking officers with people who are ticket offenses and let the possible murderer walk free because he didnt get booked in in time? Used guns deserve a home too | |||

I asked how you would have handled this situation differently. The officer is already at the window. | |||

Just watched the video. IMO, officer did a great job dealing with yet another entitled and "connected" POS. Someone was looking to get arrested, the police officer knew that and did it right. StayFrosty, might want to try another forum for your BS. | |||

So when the ambulance can't get thru because of every double parked and someone dies, then it becomes a good use of time? Or do you eliminate the problem prior to that? | |||

The Officer should not have had to ask 60 times right ? Maybe the man should learn something about civility and just comply with the 1st request. What would be wrong with him doing that ? Why would he choose to try and be a exception to how he should have acted ? Got any ideas ? BTW, yeah give me a whole society of people who dont function as the guy who got cited. | |||

I’m gonna take a crayon and write COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT TASK FORCE on the tailgate of my old rusty GMC Jimmy. It has a nice ring to it. | |||
