I hope in this day of the internet and Facebook,that a nice little crowd shows up to support this guy on his court date along with the media and local news team. I'd like to know the name of the officer and ask the Police Department to condemn this sort of conduct. Meanwhile, it makes you wonder what REAL crimes were going on nearby while this Police Officer was bust showing this guy how tough he is.
