Ok, here's the thing...

1. The guy bitches about the time it took the cops to get there...

This pisses the cops off and the situation goes down hill from there.

You have just as much right to bitch to a cop about their response time as you have right to bitch at the manager of a McDonalds...

The cop has no right...0 right to demand the guy stop bitching about the response time.

2. As for the guy being asked to extinguish his cigarette... No problem there, It's a common courtesy thing and technically the officer could claim assault if the guy's smoke came near the officer.

3. As for the "in your face"... It is difficult to tell. The officer has learned to use the camera to his advantage as well as to narrate the scene for future reference.

4. The officer should be not only fired but charged with assault AND battery.

They don't have to put up with verbal abuse or intimidation...the punk did both and then got his ass handed to him...next time be nice :)

the kid was a punk and in bad need of a smackdown, however, it wasn't that cop's place or right to do it. there was no threat, just a mouthy punk. the cops are not supposed to let emotion into the equation. that's called professionalism.

Most just treat you like you treat them...sounds fair to me.
 Quoting: BRIEF


that's fair in the street and in life between citizens but not between citizens and public servant police officers. cops should meet force with force, not meet mouth with force. if what the kid was doing was illegal, he shouldve been arrested. instead, he was slapped like a father smacks down a mouthy kid. again, a father needs to smack down a punk for his own son's good, but the cops arent his father. we cant let these cops think that they are. slippery slope.
also, what that cop/marine did is appropriate amongst his other marines and amongst the enemy in the field, but not on a US street. it was appropriate between father/son but not for a cop.
