Pssst...Dr. Dave?

Busting on a police officer is a bad idea.

Busting on a Mod placing a warning is a bad idea.

Busting on a Mod that also happens to be a police officer...well...I'll let you do the math

Both officers have been suspended.

FYI..

Someone is bound to get twisted over the "suspended with pay" part...thinking that that is the cops punishment. I just want to be the first one in to say that when a cop is under investigation, but not yet convicted of a crime or proven to have been in violation of policy, he/she is typically suspended with pay until the investigation is complete. If the investigation finds the officer in the wrong then the punishment could range from prosecution, to termination, to a suspension without pay.

The female officer was apparently found to have violated policy, hence she was suspended w/o pay...that may possibly be her "punishment" as well as she wasn't physically involved in the incident.

What I find interesting is that no one has commented on the fact that after Halloway zips up his jacket, there is an obvious editing cut in the video. But of course, we trust the little color box and believe everything thatit shows, no matter what.

Ya know, until you mentioned it, I never gave it much thought. Not making an excuse for not noticing, but its like I always say...anytime we see an article or video from the media or someone snapping with a cell phone camera, we need to take it with a grain of salt. Seems like anytime someone gets involved when they shouldn't, half the incident is missing. Another example, and I forget where it was being discussed on this forum, was that clip in which the drunk guy was removed from an outdoor party and hit in the back of the head. What led up to that? Hmm.....
