All that I ask is you watch the video before commenting.
Facts:
1.) While federal law restricts citizens under 21 from purchasing tobacco, West Virginia state law sets the restriction to anyone under 18. This woman didn't break any state law and the citation was dismissed. (As to how a state law can contradict a federal law, I don't know... that is another discussion.)
2.) The woman asks the cop to talk, the cop grants permission, and as soon as the woman starts talking, he interrupts and begins yelling and threatening to handcuff her if she doesn't shut her "****ing mouth".
3.) The "good cops" at the police department didn't step in to protect the woman from the unhinged police officer. (It's possible they were playing basketball with kids
.)
I don't deny there are some good cops, but when are we going to start holding the "good cops" accountable for not stopping bad cops from their abuse of power? Does the woman deserve this kind of reaction? What are your thoughts?
