Well I won't be going to Utah anytime soon, a place where police think they can attack somebody who is not threatening them.

[rabw]

Wont be going to Utah, but what a prick!

[EU_Foreigner]

Coming to the UK soon ...

[Plotloss]

Looks like someone needs a coffee/beer/to be less mormon.

Trick is not to go to america in the first place. Absolutely hate them and everything they do (almost).

It makes me so angry when i see how heavy handed the police are there. They think they are above the law and can do whatever the hell they like.

Bloody incestuous, fat, god loving, hypocrites!

[ypauly]

i would love to know the end result if the man was charged or if the officer was disciplined

[rude-boy]

I am all for Police having something stronger than a loud voice to protect them but this is out of order. I wonder if any action was taken against the officer in question? Being the states i doubt it but officers like this guy are the reason so many people have such a bad opinion of the Police IMHO

And how is that different from the UK force?

It's not, save that ours aren't quite so power crazed on a day to day basis, nor do they (in the main) carry guns

Pedal to the metal and off or do as you are told. To be fair I don't fancy my chances with the latter.

You have a point, but there aren't many of us who've got the car with the beans and the extra 100L tank behind us

[cloggy]

This is terrible, what a prick.

[Sheriff JWPepper]

That's exactly how I have imagined the moment when I catch up with DucatiGary.

American is a fabulous place. Just don't dick around with the Police. Maybe that's why they have lots of respect.

Respect and fear are very different things.

That "cop" (Please read; power mad, god complex, red neck) does not deserve any respect.

Looks like the police are 'investigating' the incident:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=3899692

However, why it needs to be posted on YouTube before they 'move the investigation along' could be a sign of how thorough the investigation will be. IMHO.
This line in the story "Gardner has not been reprimanded for the incident and, Roden said, has not been disciplined for incidents in the past." isn't a good sign.

That cop definitely needs lessons in how to handle a situation. When someone is trying to reasonably argue his point of view and is not being threatening then to resort to force is unbelievable - how does he handle worse situations?

And all throughout the video the cop still doesn't say what speed the guy was doing or that he has any evidence, and yet he is trying to force the guy to sign his guilt!

You should test the water for us & report back. Start off a little cheeky and escilate up to the point where you get scared.
