Officer Down

A police sergeant whose berating of a driver was captured on videotape has been fired.
About time. Anyone who threatens to manufacture charges against a citizen needs to be stomped hard. But why isn't he also being prosecuted? And as he clearly stated in the video that he was recording the encounter from his squad car, and now claims there is no tape, why haven't evidence tampering/destruction charges also been filed?

Go to the video link in the above paragraph, and get to 4 minutes and 14 seconds into it. I'm trying to ungarble the words, but doesn't it sound like he's saying "Then we can tear 'em all apart" in reference to the recorders?

I hear Then we can compare them in court."

Turn up the volume and clean out your ears. The officer plainly says "Look, I really don't care about your camera system because I'm about ready to tow your car. Then we can (garbled) tear 'em all apart!"

That PIG getting fired is way too lenient. He deserves to be charged with the crime he committed under the law he claims to know so well. Just knowing SCUM like that operates behind a badge makes me sick at my stomach.

Chief Uhrig should be fired too. He initially accused Mr. Darrow of "baiting" his contemptible underling.
