Reply to comment by Kolzig33189 in New Haven officer ‘chased juveniles’ while off-duty by MyGodItsFullOfClowns

Defaulting to a knee-jerk reflexive defense of the cop huh?

There are bits of the neighbors cam footage in the article but if the cops sister said she had too much to drink and the police report confirms the cam caught hers shouting racist things while she attacked a couple 13/14 year olds I'd say it's a little more than hotheaded. Especially since it's not her first disciplinary incident.

edit: ouch, the other disciplinary thing was not arresting a serial rapist https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Report-Investigation-concludes-cops-erred-by-not-13616223.php

I missed the part about the cops sister saying she was drunk, so obviously that changes things.

And it’s not a knee jerk defensive reaction to want to know how the incident started; that’s the complete opposite of knee jerk reaction since I want the whole picture of events before coming to any conclusions and not just pick it up halfway.

I don’t agree (obviously) with how the cop handled the situation but again, I always want to know the complete story.
