I figure that all of us have good days and bad days. I figure he has some time on to be a Sergeant, so I figure he'd learn to check himself by now. As far as I'm concerned, one of the first things you have to learn is leave work at work, leave home at home. I don't think this knucklehead has learned that valuable lesson. A few days at home may be just what the doc ordered.
Thankfully I've been a good boy and have limited my interactions with police, and the ones I do know are good guys, but I've been in the presence of an officer who flipped out in a similar though certainly not quite equal way. Totally unprofessional.

One of the pluses of working 2 man units (not only the safety aspect) is that you can pull each other back. If you notice that someone gets on your nerves or your partners nerves, trade off. I always know if Im not in the best of moods I'll have my partner take the contact position and I'll take the cover position. Basically that means that he does all the talking and I just keep my eyes on the suspects or other hazards (cars, pedestrians, etc). Its knowing when you are on your game and when you aren't and adjusting to it. I always tell my trainees to remember that the citizen he is dealing with this moment isn't his ex-wife, isn't the credit card bills and isn't the last person he dealt with. If you can leave a good impression through a bad situation, it changes that persons view of not only you but your whole dept or even law enforcement as a whole.
Maybe a long line at the unemployment office is more warranted?
The video shows the cop being a total *******, your post shows that you don't care about cleaning up your own. I've made that assertion many times.
How do you have any credibility on any case that is borderline with that type mentality?

Hey Beavis, thats not up to me or you. That'll be up to the Chief or their Commission depending on what they decide. Credibility? Serious now, you think all of us should be shot for existing so yours is a wee bit edged in the other direction. I can tell you in most agencies thats going to be 3-10 days off unless you have a record of being that way. If we fired everyone from every sector of the working population for being an ******* once, nobody would have a job. Also remember you are dealing with government employees with very strong unions, and be it wrong or right it isn't the same as the private sector.
The guy was an ass and he deserves to take a hit for it. I don't see him getting fired for it, but you never know what his Chief will see fit.

Stop this character assassination. I've NEVER advocated anything like this. I don't think like that.

That's spoken from a skewed reality. We're not talking about a cop being in a bad mood; we're discussing a cop who is threatens a kid about trumping up a ton of charges because his panties are in a bunch. That's a GROSS misapplication of his authority; and to me, clear cut grounds for dismissal.

This is why the unions are crumbling. They've become as bad as what they were built against.

As a "good" cop, you should want him removed from the force so he doesn't taint your good name, but you don't seem to care. You seem willing to be lumped in with these type of *******s.

I think he should get what he has coming. I do agree with you that threatening to add charges was a pretty ****ed up. Thats pretty damn crappy all the way around. Don't get me wrong, if he gets canned I wont have any heartache about it. I just don't think he will, but I may be wrong.
PS: Character Assasination...hehehe, since when are you so sensitive?
imagine if the kid were black or hispanic. Anyone that defends that type of behavior is either a fellow officer or has never been on the receiving end of an officer's tirade. I have been a couple times and I swear to you....for no reason whatsoever. It's not fun.
Im trying to figure out what you meant by that. You mean there would be more of an outcry? Or it would be more acceptable or unacceptable?
I mean we probably would have heard the "office" pull the kid out of the window and beat him down. I know there are good officers out there but that doesn't change the fact that I have run into some real *******s with badges on their uniform in my time.
I don't play race cards, I never do but I've experienced this crap first hand and it's not right. I'm always leery of cops because I never know if I'm going to get good cop or bad cop. It's ridiculous.

Well Im Hispanic, so I beat on Whites and Asians. Black Officers beat on Asians and Latinos, Asian Officers beat on Women and Middle Easterners. We have to make sure we keep the racial profiling adequate for the officers race you know ;-)
Joking aside, it is sad that you should have to worry. Its like worrying you have a drunk Southwest pilot or end up at MLK hospital when shot. I get your drift ;-)

Damn this guys is embarrasing....
