Questions will be raised:
Why didn't the officer file a report?
-------------------------------------------------
no, it wont.
nothing will be said, ever, unless there is a big media stink about it.
why? because they KNOW what is going on.
here is a little tid bit for you. police are TRAINED to be overly aggressive. it is a psycological battle every time they make a stop. and the more aggressive the officer is, the more intimidated and COMPLYANT a suspect becomes.
after a while of constantly treating people like the enemy, it becomes second nature, ans sometimes, the innocent get caught up in the middle.
but if you think about it, it HAS to be that way. people dont want to be arrested. and if mister nice guy stops this person, holds the door for him, is polite to him, that person will see it as a sign of weakness and look for the first advantage to get the upper hand.
on the other hand, if that person is treated as if the officer would rather shoot him than arrest him, is handled forcefully, letting him know it is NOT a REQUEST, that person will be more likely to do what he is told out of fear of something worse happening to him.
the delima: how do cops tell the differance between someone basicaly good, just a liittle drunk, form someone who will try to kill him the second his guard is down or he gives the slightest hint the officer doesnt really WANT to hurt him?
just like iraq, you cant. so you go safe. treat them ALL like potential killers. in the end, some pride gets hurt, some bruses get taken, but every one goes home alive.
and every once in a while, you push someone over the edge like my brother, adn something bad happenes that should not have happened.
you cant police the masses and be right EVERY time. but if you error on the side of complacency, you WILL end up dead the FIRST time you guess wrong about someones character.
they are as they are because they have to be that way. and for the masses to walk around in relative safety, sometimes you have to accept a few innocent getting a raw deal. the world is not a perfect place. never will be.
welcome to civization.
