Well I guess times have changed since last time I was arrested in the early 90s for brawling at a skating rink and smart talking back to the police.

Good times.

If this is truly a real situation the guy needed to be taken down. But, I wonder if it is a real situation since most "reality" shows are scripted and staged for the cameras. Cops looks real enough, but... it's TV. I have known only a few times when local news photog/videographers were allowed to follow the cops in during certain situations.

I also wonder if, in a real situation, would the cop have done that if:

a. The guy was sober; and,

2. If it was not being recorded for a TV show.

prolly would have done worse.

I normally am pretty anti copper--they are people of limited intelligence with authority complexes who like to seek out some action--only with their buddies around--and exert their authority.

i work with LE plenty in my current and previous job.

that being said, vegas PD is pretty cool and this officer was totally justified in taking this jerk down. the guy should have taken his hands out of his pocket...that's a threatening gesture.

the coolest big city pd is chicago. as long as you dont give them lip they will send you about your way short of murder, rape, robbery, dope dealing.

WTF?

Vegas PD is cool because they deal with so many drunk jerks acting a fool. if they got violent with every drunk idiot they'd be no more than out of shape UFC fighters.

i wonder if they are corrupt though.
