Warning! Strong language
A police officer in Sidney, Neb., lost
his temper while dealing with a defiant motorist he accused of circling
his “crime scene” on Friday night. The video of the incident has since
gone viral, though there is plenty of debate regarding who instigated
the altercation.
The driver of the vehicle, identified as Steven Bell,
began filming when Officer Scott Tobler pulled him over. The driver in
the video has a police scanner in his vehicle that alerts him of the
activity of law enforcement.
“Why are you circling my crime scene?”
Tobler asks Bell, who refuses to answer any questions. “Why are you
constantly following us?”
“I do not have to answer any questions without a lawyer present,” Bell says over and over.
The officer then instructed Bell to
stop circling his crime scene or he would be arrested for obstruction.
The cop accused the motorist of driving by at least five times.
Bell and his female passenger are heard arguing that they aren’t doing anything wrong by driving freely on the street.
A second officer, Curtis Hofrock, then appears in the video as Tobler starts to lose his patience.
That’s when things got out of hand.
“Stop following us around,” Tolber says in the video.
“There is no law against that–” Bell starts to argue.
“Stop following us around! That’s your
last warning!” the cop screams in a rage, throwing what appeared to be
the warning in Bell’s lap.

How would you feel if someone followed you as this idiot did? If you were a cop how would you react? Would you think this man was friendly or might have had ecil intent?
ReplyDeleteI think he was looking for trouble. He is stupid in the same way that a child who is warned not to stick his finger in an outlet is stupid except this guy decided to put a fork into that outlet.
Except that he was doing nothing illegal.
