Nope he just threatened me. My neighbors called the cops on me the next day for riding my bike and this time I had all the laws printed out on a piece of paper.

The cop on day 2 was much cooler than this guy, this cop was not nice to me at all and I did absolutely nothing wrong except for being angry.

In these times, if you are angry towards them, a cop can use "agressive force" against you.
All they have to say is they felt like thier health and safety were at risk. And it is your word against theirs. Your video camera was a very good thing. He could have confiscated your camera and tape though.
Around my neighborhood a cop can write you a ticket for calling them any number of "colorful" words.
Apparently it is illegal to slander or curse at a cop, wether on duty or off.
Most of the time they won't do it due to the paperwork involved.
What ever happened to "serve and protect"?
'Nuff said, rant over....

I unno bout that whole "serve and protect" crap... I have noticed more and more states are pulling that off their cars.

mebbe they finally noticed the hypocrisy?

Glad you didn't end up with any tickets man, even if they're unwarranted - they're still a pain to fight.

Not a lot of us can take being cursed and abused on a daily basis and remain cool. Even cops have a bad day sometimes and make bad decision. i think it is because they recruit from the human race. Maybe it is time for robo cop.

Excepting of course being a police officer - their "bad decision" could in fact not just ruin someone's day, but destroy their lives. They accepted the consequences and the responsibility when they signed up, they knew damn well how people view cops - there are no excuses.

If ya can't handle the job - quit.

I worked for years in human services, it was part of my daily routine to have chairs and other various objects thrown at me in a hail of accompanying obscenities. I never once lost it on a client, I never once "lost my cool". When I felt I could no longer perform my duties objectively (mostly the administration was responsible for this), I retired and moved on to a less stressful occupation.

I think many police officers loose sight of just how profound an impact they have on the populace and as such, feel powerless and lash out - using any opportunity to assert themselves, to reaffirm (at least to themselves) the power, the control they wield over others.

This petty resentment is NO excuse.

Well I guess it's like some of the stories people tell that fall flat, you had to be there.
