But not so much that you alienate most of the folks who aren't cops.

There is support and then there is this, which comes off as a get out of jail free card.

“Drummond’s conduct about Gibson “adhering” to OKCPD training seemed to contradict the probable cause affidavit of OKCPD Internal Affairs officer Michael Rizzi, who wrote that he consulted with OKCPD “de-escalation control and defensive tactic instructors” while investigating the arrest of Vu, who remained hospitalized earlier this month with a brain bleed and fractures to his face and spine.

“Due to Vu’s size, age, and the seriousness of the crime committed, it is believed the amount of force used by the defendant was not reasonable,” Rizzi wrote in the affidavit. “Lich Vu is described as approximately 5’4″ tall and weighs between 115 and 135 pounds. He is 71 years old in poor health. The defendant is approximately 5’6″ and weighs between 185 and 195 pounds and is in robust health.””

Funny, that’s the same way I see it. Why isn’t Drummond supporting LEO Michael Rizzi? Personal animus, or does he just hate cops?

He put his hands on the officer, the officer took control,


Hope he learned a lesson,

I hope the officer fully recovers from his injuries and mental trauma.

This doesn’t sit well with me on so many levels. Drummond just lost my vote if he runs for any more offices.

This is far from over

The officer took control of the situation, I agree he could have do so with less force but this is a product of people not being taught to respect the badge. The side of the road is no place to be belligerent and stupid. Take the ticket then go to court,


Sorry but this clown got a hard lesson.

 

[Camo]

Hopefully someone teaches the cop a lesson. You know he's mentally weak by his need to hurt a frail old man over a touch. Hopefully this is a wakeup call to deal with his temper and insecurities before someone gets killed.

Hope the old man learns from this too.


I agree that both were wrong but I can’t see acting like a childish ****** during a traffic stop
