This cop, and every cop he’s worked with that hasn’t reported him, and every supervisor he’s ever had, needs to be fired immediately. No pensions, no severance.
In a truly just world, that would be followed by an immediate criminal investigation into each of them, with full civilian review of every official action they’ve ever taken.
These fuckers need to learn they work for us, not the other way around.
The kid was a dick but this should serve as a reminder to the police that they work for us. I would suggest that this be used in training on how not to engage the public. I suspect that this cop will receive the retirement that he is looking forward to a little earlier than he expected.
The cop is waaaaay out of line, but why would you INVITE this kind of situation by flicking them off? I have a lot of opinions about cops, but when I’m dealing one on one with an officer, I don’t mouth off.
Oh we know. He’d shoot people. He’d yell 12 contradictory commands with his buddies all at once then shoot whoever they feel makes the best finger painting target.
The fleet of CT state police cars are almost entirely unmarked. Article in Courant suggested that flipper of the bird didn’t know it was a cop, just knew it was someone driving like an asshole.
This being CT, the cop will get his pension, even if he is fired, has to sue, then get back pay and have his pension reinstated.
It’s amazing that no one talks about the culture of steroid abuse in law enforcement. It’s real and it’s definitely an aspect of our thug caste police forces that has a noticable negative effect. Cops should be calm, not raging ticking time bombs.
This is a funny word. Incense is supposed to calm you down, not cause… whatever this is. That cop needs some incense, along with whatever is in that guy’s car.
