So, he knows before he gets out of his car that an Officer is wanting him to stop. He had an attitude when he got out of the car. And why would you be okay with him walking off while the Officer if speaking to him? That's pretty amazing to me.

Then he says, "I'm not going to put up with that. I don't care who it is."

Good luck with that, buddy.

I'm interested in this part of what Greg Cagle, the Texas Municipal Police Association lawyer, had to say - "There may be some issues of law we need to talk about, and tactics that I don't think were considered." I'd like to follow this story and see what else Mr. Cagle has to say.

PO, honestly, I think you should back away from this particular thread. Who cares what Mr. Cagle says. The COP WAS WRONG AND WAS FIRED end of story!!!!!!! You are too obsessed with this case, please go on to bigger and better things. We know you have an opinion.

This was recorded on the dashcam, nothing new. I'd be mad, too, if some young, thug-rap-blaring police officer didn't know the law, made a bogus stop, then body slammed me and tased me twice.

What, do you really expect this man to be happy and cheerful about what just happened?

Pete gets out. They have words, Pete points to the business and takes a step in that direction. For all we know he says "Well it's my bosses car, ask him"

The Cop directs his attention to the plates or tags. Pete going back there and points out they are plates that don't need tags and ....the COP just grabs him out of the blue.

The cop should have said "Well Im going to detain you" or "Im going to arrest you" before just grabbing him. I have a hard time believing most people would not react that way especially when you did not commit a crime and the one that idiot cop is accusing him of is NOT an arrestable offense
