I rode with officers all the time when I was both a prosecutor and a defense attorney for 31 years. I have seen hundreds of police car videos. It is very easy to spot the ones with common sense and the ones that are just plain bullies. AND I do not like the bullies. Don't think officers can be bullies? Search youtube for police brutality.

Of course police officers can be bullies, just like defense attorneys can find bull crap excuses for defending killers and child molesters. Of course being an attorney you know exactly how much force it takes to control an old man. I HAVE arrested an NFL lineman and old men, and I found I did not think about someones age when I was fighting with them.
