[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4359991, member: 5412"] I see that every day in liberal states where officers are pushed and shoved with impunity by "social" protesters in the streets. They have no respect for the law because they are not punished for what they did. All that pontificating behind me now, I do think the cop in the OP went too far. Yeah, the guy probably should have been arrested and it wouldn't have been an issue to turn him around to cuff him as he said he was ready to go to jail. The little tap of the back of the hand on the officer may or may not have been an act of aggression. I have a couple of friends that want to tap me every time they want to make a statement. It irritates me because I'm sometimes having a conversation with another person at the time, but it's a habit of theirs. I don't take them to the ground for doing so. The officer could have given a harsh verbal warning that if you touch me again, you're going down. If it did happen again, he would have got the treatment in the video. That's called de-escalation. It can be very effective. [/QUOTE]
