These Cops, not just NYPD or big cities, but the rural townships across the country, although the mandate is to serve and protect, they seem to be more about fulfilling some type of ego.
At the very least proves it’s not a race thing, as 2 guys(Caucasian) from Saratoga county(upstate New York) filmed a deputy and his partner(although the partner never got caught on camera) asking one of the men to look through his car, when the guy refused the deputy said ‘so we gotta go get a warrant’, the guy says ‘if that’s the route you wanna go, but there’s no need to search my car, I wasn’t in it when all this was gong on, like why don’t you wanna search my house’. The guy was well within his rights to refuse a search, but that wasn’t good for this cowboy cop, he inched up on the guy, grabbed his keys, then smacked(with force) the guy in the back of the head and threw the keys to his (unseen)partner and told him to go ahead and search the car.
now that this video is out, proof that the cop acted illegally, hopefully this be investigated and the cop(and his unseen partner for letting it happen) will be fired!!!
Update; The Saratoga cop has been suspended, and the dept is saying the ‘victim’ is not pressing charges, and although the state can press charges, that is yet to be seen.
