So what happened after?
"Cpl. Thomas O'Connor's immediate supervisor and internal affairs investigators exonerated him of wrongfully using the weapon, saying he was justified because he "perceived a threat," dozens of pages of internal memos and other records said. In May, Cathy Ellison, acting police chief at the time, suspended O'Connor for three days in May for using force against Eugene Snelling and for violating a department policy requiring officers to "respect the rights of individuals and perform their services with honestly, sincerity, courage and sound judgement.""

Man I usually like to side with police but this guy had no patience what so ever and instantly escalated the ditch with his attitude. There was no professionalism there. Respect is earned not given because of the uniform.

this is what happens when you put a dumbass behind a badge.

@frankdrebin The cop was rude and impatient and just overall an idiot! The kid was in violation, yes, but this is just another example of an unstable jerk with a badge!!

[Tatumboi34]

Good work officer! It's not a game...do what he say or he will make you....simple..

[TwoLadsonTuesday]

bit rough on the cops side, but they resisted arrest. If a cop tells you to do something DO IT.

[frankdrebin]

LOL @ the comments. This is what happens when you can't follow simple directions.
