Brickbat: Didn't You See Me?

The Waterbury, Connecticut, police department has fired officer James Hinkle for screaming at and berating a woman who drove through an intersection where he was directing traffic. Hinkle accused the woman of almost running him over, but in the video he appeared to be a few feet from her and actually ran towards the vehicle and slapped it when she entered the intersection. "I got two kids at home waiting for me to come home tonight," Hinkle shouted at her.

I'm surprised the FOP has not attempted to canonise him yet.
I get paid over 190$ per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing..

They fired this perfect cliche?
No, that's the B cliche. Wife with first kid on the way or two days from retirement trumps boring-old nuclear family.
Home earnings allow all people to paint on-line and acquire weekly bills to financial institutions. Earn over $500 each day and get payouts each week instantly to account for financial institutions. (bwj-03) My remaining month of earnings was $30,390 and all I do is paint for as much as four hours an afternoon on my computer. Easy paintings and constant earnings are exquisite with this job.

If she entered the intersection against his hand signals, she might have collided with another car. He would have had to stay at work late doing paperwork for that accident.
Hinkle needed to drop the John Cena “you can’t C me” hand gesticulation to drive home his point.
Yes, he auto do that

Hinkle accused the woman of almost running him over...
Boilerplate language learned in the academy. Look at 100 police reports involving a cop on foot and a moving vehicle. I'd be surprised if any of them did not say the vehicle tried to run the cop over.
That is exactly how they justify riddling a fleeing car with bullets killing the kids in the back seat.
While the cop engaged in unnecessary histrionics if he was directing traffic and this driver ignored that then the driver is arguably more wrong. Seems there may be plenty of stupid to go around.
^ This.
Too many cop-hating boners this morning.
Especially given "fired" and the lack of ticket/warning/citation/arrest.
An employee somewhere shouted at a customer and got shitcanned, welcome to Thursday.
My thoughts too. Although its not exactly clear in the description of the event if he waved her through and then got angry she was too close...or if she entered the intersection contrary to his signaling.
I've seen lots of cops "directing traffic", waving their arms unintelligibly. I've had to stop a number of times and give them the palms-up "what the fuck?" sign to get intelligible directions from them.
a. same as running red light?
b. isn't police prime directive to ensure arrival home each day?
Intersectionality gone awry
This cop and the wannabee Biden sodomite in the other article would fit right into the pottymouth Trumpanzee infiltrator horde
They fired him quickly, and didn't try to mitigate his guilt. There can only be one reason for this. Everyone who worked with him already hated the guy, or knew that he was lunatic.
It has also been reported that he lied during the investigation, claiming that her mirror hit him, when he clearly assaulted the car. He also made conflicting claims about being injured, and tried to get paid leave for his supposed injuries when, on body cam, he denies being physically injured.
Perhaps the most disturbing statement he made during the investigation is when he stated that he's had two tours of duty in Iraq, so when he perceived a car moving toward him, he "freaked". If there is any truth at all to that contention, he's not exactly the kind of guy one wants directing traffic, or carrying a gun, for that matter.
I am making a good salary from home $6580-$7065/week , which is amazing under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone,
🙂 AND GOOD LUCK.:)
