    Not really sure what to say here, other than Erik Estrada would not approve.

    Which one is the selfless hero and which one is the lazy pension-gobbler?

    I'm so confused.

    One of the 10% of A-hole cops who spoil it for the other 90%.

    Firefighter looks to be Caucasian and cop appears to be Latino
    or African American. Reminiscent of when the Cambridge Police
    acted stupidly. Maybe they should get together for a Sam Adams.

    A petty squabble between a couple of 1%ers.

    As a commenter said in that link, if this cop will act that way toward a firefighter working at the scene of an emergency while a TV news crew is there, what will he do to a private citizen where nobody can see him?

    If you reach an impasse in an argument with a cop, it will always lead in arrest. I don't see what's shocking about that.

    Yep. Your average, small town patrolman is likely amongst the post powerful people you'll ever meet.

    It is amazing how much power they have.

    Exactly. They're the kings of the street. Even if they're in the wrong and end up paying the price later on through discipline or lawsuits, you're still going through the horrible experience of being cuffed, booked and spending time in jail.
