He was there doing his job. He was making an arrest, after having been dispatched to the location. She was safe, her life and limb were in no immediate danger, and the officer was busy on a call that his supervisors had sent him on. He was, in fact, doing his job.
It amazes me that normally rational people, having never been behind the badge, seem to know how to do a police officer's job. And they'll tell us how to do our job at every golden opportunity. I've got over 30 years behind the badge, highly trained, extra education (a Master's Degree), and I love being a police officer. I still like helping people. Even folks who think they know my job.
