After watching the full footage of the encounter, it looks to be taken in context.(Full version here…) Obviously, most cops are good people just trying to do a good job of protecting the citizenry. This cop also seems to be a fairly decent guy.
The part that concerns me and should concern you, is what the officer said about Obama. The in context statement saying quote “because Obama has decimated the constitution, he feels it no longer applies to him as an officer”.
I wonder about which part of “Law Enforcement” he doesn’t understand? The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land and trumps all other city, state, and federal laws. Maybe he forgot the oath he took to uphold the Constitution when he graduated the police academy?
It comes down to this, the fish rots from the head down. What I mean is that people actions reflect leadership. Like the officer said, if the president doesn’t have to follow the law then why does he need to? I would like to hear that officer’s response to this question. If the police don’t follow the law then why do the citizens need to?
