Wow there is more to this than you would think.

Man with his family gets his order wrong at Taco Bell.

Gets in argument with Taco Bell employee.

Taco Bell employee brings up Black Lives Matter or something like that.

Man defends the police.

Taco Bell employee calls 911 reports man impersonating a police officer.

Police arrive arrest him for impersonating a police officer
He denies. And supposedly the police tell him to tell the judge.

He shows the Taco Bells video surveillance of the incident to the judge. Judge dismisses the charge.

I assume now Taco Bell is looking to settle.

So will the Taco Bell employee be now arrested for making a false statement to police? Or is there such a law? I know with the Feds there is.

All these poor uneducated, misguided low information tools who have no idea what the 1st Amendment is really about. It is clear that the ignorant masses believe it is there to allow them total protection from recourse for anything that comes out of their pie holes.

Filing a false police report is a crime in Texas.

This is odd. Something is missing here. The police say he admitted claiming he was a police officer, but he has a video that proves otherwise? or at least does not support the charge?

Doesn't sound like it was a Taco Bell surveillance vid (those typically don't have sound, which would be crucial in this case). Sounds like he has his own video, which I would like to see.

I guessed it was taco bells video, but your right his wife may have done the iphone video when the argument started.

I suppose its why your advised not to talk to the police.
