This guy is just the straw that broke the camel’s back for me.

But, “Have a Blessed Day” is golden.

How about you go in front of any cop and “don’t actually DO anything other than run your mouth” and see how long it takes him to make you suffer.

There is a segment of the population that is basically anti-social and disruptive to a wholesome society.

Yeah, we should probably stop giving them guns and badges.

They don’t have any concern that what they do upsets those around them

Golly, I wonder who the role models for that behavior might be. Maybe cops like the one in the video?

I would rather have this guy walking a beat in my neighborhood than anybody who would politely go by the book.

If you’re that dismissive of the rule of law, doesn’t that make you part of the antisocial segment of society?

Regrading my desires: Frankly, it is not my nature to be agressively confrontational, but life in the city can be frustrating. There is a segment of the population that is basically anti-social and disruptive to a wholesome society.
For ten years I lived a block from a notorious housing project. Kids ran wild (I caught a nine year old going through my wife’s jewelry box,) car windows were smashed on a regular basis for fun, there were crack whores hustling for money or rocks in the school yard across the street from my house. Having cops come around to give these folks a hard time kept the worst of it in check.
It was even worse in the projects themselves. I used to ride the bus to work with some of the project residents, and the crap they had to put up with fro their criminal neigbors was heartbreaking.
Let’s face it. These hustlers may have been petty criminals, but they are a major headache for the neighborhood. They don’t have any concern that what they do upsets those around them, so the cops have to act as nursemaids and tough older brothers and then eventually bouncers for these unruly kids who grow up into dangerous adults. that cop was not on a personal power trip, he was laying down the ground rules for how this hustler was going to have to conduct himself in this neighborhood.

I’ve run across bad cops in my youth in Philly. This guy was tough, but not out of line. I would rather have this guy walking a beat in my neighborhood than anybody who would politely go by the book.

Secondly, why would you think that someone who abuses his authority like this would ever hesitate to treat you the same way?

Thirdly, what makes you think this kind of nonsense is effective against those who are inclined to piss in your doorway?

Could it be that he is acting out your desires?

When a regular person with a weapon threatens you it is menacing, this is at least a misdemeanor in every U.S. state I can think of.

When those in authority do it and then get away with it (and even the most cursory search on your part will demonstrate that they do get away with it so frequently as to validate the belief that the law does not apply equally to law enforcement) then you have a literal police state.

The police no longer work for you or your well being even if you are within your rights and are a law-abiding citizen. You are subservient to the police: ergo = police state.

Why does one cop saying a bunch of oddly homoeroto-sadistic bullshit make this a police state? He didn’t actually DO anything other than run his mouth.

Because he has the physical and probably legal capability of arresting, beating, imprisoning or killing citizens without repercussions.

There’s nothing this cop says that you won’t hear on any street corner in any major city. He’s getting the attention of some loser who’s very presence ruins the neighborhood. When I lived in South Philly, I appreciated having cops like this leaning on the lowlifes who broke into cars, pissed on my doorway, and smashed beer bottles in the school yard across the street. do you want hustlers, whores and dealers plying their trade in front of your house?

Cops can’t run every loser with no self-control though the system, It takes too much time. So they need to get these losers’ attention that they need to behave themselves in public. He’s just keeping the streets safe for the rest of us.

Though I bet the NYPD is still preferable to Los Zetas.

OP is right this guy is a ticking time-bomb and is the sort of personality that has no business being given institutional power over others.

He didn’t actually DO anything other than run his mouth.
