I think all police stations should have the complaint forms, but the video editing of this report is extremely bias. Like with the cop that grabbed his gun. The video immediately begins with the cop clearly frustrated. I'm guessing the officer asked this guy a lot of questions, all to which he wouldn't answer or repeated the same question "Do you have a complaint form I can fill out?" This would frustrate any police officer and probably why they asked if he had mental problems or was on medication. If you're trying to take down this persons report and they won't say anything and keep asking for a form, I'd think you were an idiot with a mental problem too. Walking after him out of the police station was a little much. So what if he touched his gun? For all I could see he was checking to make sure the safety was on, or that it was properly holstered. He didn't pull a fucking gun on anyone or act like he was going to draw his weapon.
You've gotta understand this guy came in there with absolutely no legitimate complaint. He just wanted forms. Well, if there really are no forms available wtf do you want the officer to do? Let's blame a police officer for department policy issues? Most of the stations just said no and the guy left. The incidents occured when officers attempted to follow procedure and document the complaint. But because there was no complaint the officers got extremely frustrated having to deal with this person who wants help, but won't give any details.
I see the issue the video makes, but I also see how it was spun to make a few cops look really bad. I didn't see intimidation, I saw frustration.
