they are cops..on public duty....smile for the camera.
someone is filming you? should be no problem with that as you are following the law as a public servant.
thank people for your job...and do your best.
if we had cops like that, less people would hate them, and i bet they would get more respect. what we have now are power hungry dicks.
who confront everyone and everything for anything.
This is a societal problem though, not the issue with any particular cop. They are being pushed into this type of behaviour because of many factors.

From what I have seen on various social media posts, there is another video that shows more than what was shown in this video. The guy was getting in the way of a hostage situation and had been instructed to leave. Instead he rolled all his windows down, turned up the music in the car and started harassing the cops, not just videoing them. They have a serious situation they are dealing with and they don't need some punk inciting others or interfering in their duties to the rest of us.
Look, I have a dog. I have two fucking dogs I guess. When the video started I was wondering WTF these cops were going to do because everyone was so outraged. I guess I was expecting to see a cop just come up and shoot it. When the cop first approached the guy I got worried.
Even the narrators are laughing at what an idiot the guy is being. When he put the dog in the car I could see all the windows were all the way down and thought, "there is no way that is keeping the dog secured." When the cops approached and the dog started barking I knew it was too late, the dog was coming out. The dog struck twice; I thought it had been tazed, but I am not going back to watch it, you can. When it made the second strike the cop did what he had to do. I would not want it coming after me either; I would use whatever was most efficient.
To those that think a baton to the dog's face have never been in a fight with a dog; they do not have predictable moves like a human does. You could get hurt pretty bad trying to hit a rott hard enough to make him give up trying to help his owner.
Adam: Cops are not in the habit of letting people they are arresting go back to their car without cuffs on.
