I believe there were 2 officers on the scene. That means at least 1 other went along with it rather than pulling him aside and saying "don't be insane." Then police chief went on record saying the 2 officers handled the situation properly. So now we're up to 3. I'm not aware of any town officers standing up and saying the debacle was idiotic. Therefore I can't say if it's the whole department or not. If someone there disavowed it would be a good sign. Not seeing it.
