Of course it isn't unreasonable to work together. But the officers in the article were colluding to cover their asses for breaking the law, not cooperating to ensure mutual safety. And indeed, this is a pattern I read and hear about often, unfortunately.
- gravypod 10y agoOh cool, I didn't know you could read minds and see into the past! You should do me next! Honestly though, we will never objectively know what the officers are thinking in that situation nor know exactly what happened. If they were colluding or if they did think that the person was resisting arrest. Given all the information I have, it's not unreasonable that the officers did what they did. Someone walks up, tries to go towards a suspect, and is confrontational when asked for ID. That is a bit of a hint that something is off.
