An officer was accused of ripping a youth’s shirt but was described as giving a ride home. the youth taunted the officer and was removed from the patrol car. Another driver alleged mistreatment after a theft scene stop, later seeking a meeting with the chief. No action taken until a powerfully worded exchange and written complaint.
