1. At least someone is doing the right thing...

..by kicking this police officer in the can.

This police officer thought he could get away with anything. How
funny that he is publicly humiliated with a suspension, to which
the entire country is privy. Ha!

I love it when the little guy wins.

So, does this mean that we all have to start mounting cameras on our car, too?
It feels that way.

3. The link in the original post says

that the video is posted on Google and YouTube. This link http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/19/1961.asp has the transcript of the conversation (if you want to call it that) between the cop and the man.

Yikes, this cop needs a psychiatrist.

4. I am proud to say

that I was threatened to be hauled in to the Galveston County jail because I refused to tell the "officer" who stopped me for "speeding" what I did for a living. At the time, I had conducted an informal survey with friends and discovered that the police only seemed to ask that question of females, which of course pissed me off. When he threatened to take me in, I just looked at him and shrugged my shoulders, like "well, that's that, then." He backed down immediately (I was thinking, does this guy want to walk someone into the station and whine, "she won't tell me her occupation!" ? We moved on to signing the damn ticket; when he saw that I was writing "under duress" after my name, he grabbed my (very thin) arm and the clipboard and yanked me halfway out of the car.

Later, at the jury trial, I beat the pants off the lying sack o shit. So occasionally their is a little justice to nosh on.

6. Been there, done it. My cop asked me if I liked my job.

The implication was he could get me into enough trouble to get me fired. That was pretty creepy.
