You do not wake up one day and act like he did, this is showing to be a pattern. You think he is above physical abuse when it is obvious that he has power issues. I too dislike the media but if it was not for the Plano cop, which I respect, DPD would have swept this so far under the rug, you would have never heard about it. The last I heard there was 3 different people who have now come out against this guy and I am sure there will be more once they do not fear him anymore.

I think you are totally missing my point.

Who said he was above physical abuse? I did however state that it is a leap of faith to assume that physical abuse ever occured in the first place. Just where did that come from?

I understand being annoyed, but I don't understand attributing various criminal activities to a person because of one particular behavior set. Maybe I need to watch more TV and fancy myself a forensic psychologist.

I agree with the majority of posters that the Officer did not handle this well. However, I have seen at least two posts with the highlighted statement above which I think is totally inappropriate.

Agreed. He needs to be disciplined as any employee. Anyone who thinks he needs to be assualted is thinking from emotion, and needs to take a breath.

Emotion, you are probably correct, this kind of behavior gets me going. We will revisit this when more reports come out and we find out that he has abused people physically and emotionally. I am pretty sure if they keep looking, they will find several more abuse cases against this power munger. If I was a defense attorney, I would have every case pulled that this idiot was involved in and have every prosecution overturned.

Okay, I have taken a breath and still stand by my comments, this is not a cop that had a bad day, this is a guy that abuses the badge and does not care. Like I said early on, he will pull over the wrong guy one day and his attitude will get him in trouble.

Where in the wide-world did that one come from? I too do not like the way that things were handled. Videos are great, but can be manipulated simply by deleting portions.
We first see a video where the Officer is apparently treating the folks outside the hospital in a less than stellar manner. Much later, some of us find out that not only did this guy break numerous traffic laws (for a reason, valid or not) but that he continued to do so after the Officer lit up his lights/sirens. We all know how we feel when we get cut-off on the road, as an Officer would you be any less annoyed when your lights/sirens are ignored?

I think overall the Officer failed to handle this correctly. But the notion that he needs to be beaten silly, or that by default he must abuse people physically is spurious reasoning at best.
