This situation has also caused at least one cop, that was riding in the group, to lose their freedom. And if it hasn’t been clear to you from prior acts, cops tend to protect their own. It takes a lot for them to turn one in.
Cops couldn’t do a damn thing — the little twerp was recognized on the video. And he’s really having his name dragged through the dirt online. I think it’s partially “karmic” payback for his undercover work messing with Occupy Wall Street.[/quote]Which is in part, my point. It was severe enough that the blue line could not protect him. I don’t think the more sensational aspect had to do with him being ‘yanked’. It had more to do with his participating in the assault – kicking in the passenger door, smashing in the back window, combined with is very slow report of the incident to superiors. (It was also not his undercover task – he seems to actually be a member of the group).
