Once again, channel 5 has shown that they are very anti-police and will twist facts. In their latest " Investigative Reports" they want people to believe the police abused their powers again. The story is from Lee's Summit. A police officer attempts to stop a vehicle. The vehicle refused to stop until he pulls into his driveway. Dashcam video shows the officer's actions. The suspect tells Channel 5 he didn't understand why the officer pulled his weapon. First, the story will have you believe that the officer quickly pulled his weapon. But if you watch the video, no weapon is shown and the officer waits several minutes until back up arrive. But, even if he did pull his weapon, the vehicle failed to stop for more than two minutes with the officer sounding his siren. Then the suspects is later asked to hang up his phone. Did he comply? NO! he continues to defy lawfull orders. Then the suspect is handcuffed and during a search of his person, he begins to move around. This becomes enough to force the officers to take him to the ground. Now, here is where Channel 5 will have you believe the police abused this person. While on the ground the officer, who is also there defensive tactics instructor, puts his knee on the suspects neck. Channel 5 asked some professor from the University of South Carolina if this was right. He states the officer did not need to perform this tactic. But as an officer for over 10 years, This tactic is done so that the suspect can not move or attempt to fight. Although painful, it does not cause any injury. So this professor, who is only stating his opinion, says that the officer is wrong. But Channel 5 never interviews any officers from other departments so that they could give their opinion. No, they ask some liberal who's taxes may still need to be paid. Way to go Channel 5, you have shown why your a joke in the local law enforcment community.
