That's well within the law.

If you end up shooting someone for the "legal infraction" of obstructing traffic you have a problem. And from the reaction of the community over this incident it is obvious that law enforcement has a serious problem here. People don't just go off like that for nothing. It's obvious to me that there has been an ongoing pattern of the Police abusing their authority for quite some time.

If I was Chief of Police I would fire every officer that has worked in this community for the past year. Then I would give them the opportunity to apply for their old positions with their rehiring subject to approval from a committee of citizens of that community.

Any positions left unfilled would be filled with new hires which would also be subject to approval by the same committee.

After that every officers periodic performance review would also be subject to review and approval by the same committee.
