Perhaps one day the system will be less flawed, but until then there are good cops and bad cops. This one may not be fully bad, but he has definitely internalized some of the attitude that comes with being a cop for a while. My criminal justice professor, who was a cop for a long time, went over that trend with us.

That's an incredibly naive statement. You have the nerve to say the cop is treating people "beneath him" when Reese is pulling the "I'm a celebrity" card? The officer was not using excessive force, and it's apparent by the husband's concession, that his arrest was legitimate. Reese was out of line. Completely.
