Imagine for a moment a time when cell phone cameras didn’t exist and it was the cop’s word versus your own?

This proves that cops can lie for personal convineience without reproach.

Glad to know he’s welcomed there any time. They did a great job of standing up for him while the police was there harassing him for over an hour.

We’re trying to teach our kids not to be bullies but yet the people who are supposed to protect us or the biggest bullies of all

” Management wants you to leave.”
ALL COPS ARE LIARS!

Officer Wm. Moore is a very dangerous officer. Knowing he is being recorded and still acting this way illustrates he does not care about repercussions. No compass. BUT, if the victim does not sue, none of this will matter and it will continue.

 

“Your dog shouldn’t be here.”
Dog leaves.
“Actually I’m here for you, I suspect you might be a criminal.”
Has no criminal record.
“But actually I was called by the manager to kick you out.”
Manager welcomes back a paying customer.

 

“We’ve asked for a response and have yet to hear back” is media shorthand for “they know they done royally fucked up.”
They try to bully you into defending yourself then you’re resisting
UPDATE: The police chief stated this officer did nothing criminal, and any discipline would be handled internally. Figures.
Do you notice how the Police always call in more thugs when the citizens legally refuses to answer their questions. They always have to escalate!
Man: “What did I do sir?”
Officer: “You do”
????
Just think, this is ONE time where it was documented. Imagine how many times this happens with no recordings.
You know the manager did call the cops on him because of the dog . Of course he is going to take a picture with the customer . He must of realized his business was gonna go viral in a bad way if he didn’t switch up sides quik lmao. The manager started the whole thing by calling the police period .
I personally know the Manager and Ownership of G&G Restaurant, and I can assure you that they are not, and have never supported bigotry or racial discrimination. My race has never factored into, nor become a topic for any discussion. Please do not let the actions of that particular Officer damage the business in any way. Thanks.
You guys should request an investigation of that officer and I bet there will be more misconduct on his record
Can you imagine how brazen you would have to be to act this way while being recorded, as a cop, in this age? it Just goes to show you how they really do need to have their enthusiastic hubris taken down a few hundred notches. The first thing on your mind, as a cop, should be protecting and serving ALL the innocent, NOT throwing weight around and serving your ego.
