[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1258989, member: 18945"] It's a common occurance in any stresssful situation--crying for one's mother. I've seen more than one grown man softly cry for his momma while taking his last breath as he bled to death. I thought about my own mother while I was washing the blood from one of them out of my helo floor and down the back ramp. As I said, the officer can do whatever he wants, as can whoever he is dealing with, but more often than not, people tend to place more credence on whether they CAN do something while totally disregarding whether they SHOULD do it. The girl was not arrested or charged with anything--the one person (male) that was arrested had all charges against him dropped after examination of the videos showed he was shoved close to the officer by someone else. The officer is now un-employed, will probably never again work in law enforcement, and will likely be sued. Speaking on the officer's behalf, his attorney said he had let his emotions get the best of him and control his actions and he apologizes for those actions. How'd all that work out for him? I saw 2 news segments earlier, from former McKinney police officers critiquing the officer's actions and speech--neither had good things to say about him or his actions/words. I'll see if I can find the links later. [/QUOTE]
