Officer arrests El Paso reporter attempting to cover a story

I suspect there is a lot more of that happening that the departments are able to keep out of the news..

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.

"Dude"

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...

uh oh...

It makes me ill to think that these few bad apples tarnish the reputation of our good police officers.

It's also very saddening.

In this community, we know better than to let someone like this set the standard...

WARNING: Lots of profanity in the comments on these.

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...

Does anyone know the Texas statues regarding compliance with a peace officers orders?

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.
