I don't know about that. . . .

But I do know that this particular officer badly needs anger management counseling. I hate to think of what his home life might be like. . . .

He needs more than anger management - he should be let go.

I just figured it out...

Officer Rivera never had a skateboard, and never got an Radio Controlled car for his 11th birthday...

I kinda feel sorry for the dude...

It's also very saddening.
In this community, we know better than to let someone like this set the standard...

BTW, I figure if they would just upgrade this guy to a "Segway", he'd probably calm down...That is quite an embarrasing set of wheels they hooked him up with...

You're screwed if it's a lawful orderand you don't obey it. If it an unlawful order, you get off, but you still have to pay big $$$ to be the test case. So either way, dealing those guys, you're over the barrel..

You bet. I was being "charitable." And I'll still bet his home life is jacked up.
