Forget Dress Colors - Police Department Nitpicks Over Entitled Cop in Handicap Parking SpotCompletely missing the point, of course An able-bodied officer allegedly takes a handicap parking spot which would be illegal to mere citizenry. Or did he? Its a turn of the screw or for modern tastes its and I say this sarcastically an issue of black and blue or white and gold. Whichever way the dress blows It might not seem like a big deal at all until you catch wind of the roots of the officers attitude when a citizen points out that hes illegally parked in a handicap parking spot. Sure, he could just be really angry at a rubber-necker, but both actions and words speak loudly during the following episode. Whats even more unfortunate is the Massachusetts Webster Police Departments callous response to the residents and where they shift blame. Not only that, but yet another smug attitude in regards to solidarity. It appears to be a deliberate obfuscation and a way to deflect the public. They want people to shut up, move on and blame the video recorder. Whereas they blame the video recorder as some kind of annoying, impolite and heartless nitpicker they then get people to nitpick over the parking space and not the original problem First, see for yourself what happened. The officer may or may not have been illegally parked but please dont get sucked up in the he said, he said. The point is that the officer is using intimidation and authority to push someone around for questioning his actions. He openly states his belief that he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants. Both his actions and words demonstrate his entitled, above the law attitude. Then, he attempts to catch the citizen recorder on something by demanding his identification for which the video recorder is right for refusing. The video is vague as far as the parking spot goes. Facebook users and the department argue over whos right and whos wrong. Parking there did not harm anyone, but that is not what is really riling people up. (Please always get back to the meat of the problem if you ever find yourself in one of these arguments, which are meant to be an infuriating synthesis.) Sadly, the department slaps up a photo to try to shut people up instead of acknowledging why people are actually upset. They are trying to argue people out of their rationale, which shows that they are not there to serve the citizens who pay their salaries. But look where they shift the focus and the blame before that. Previously, they wrote:
