Gets, I can't understand why he would cuff him in front of his kid and mother. The whole situation was ridiculous. Even though it was traumatic for me to witness, I'm so glad that both my Grandma and I were there. I'm not sure what would have happened to my father if he went alone.

Yes, the native Californians back then listened to country music and were kind of like hickish. My father definitely did not fit in with those neighbors lol. If you sounded New Yorkish, then you'd be looked down upon. Remember most people didn't know much about New Jersey back then, you were a NYer. That was way before the Soprano's lol.

What I notice is that most police officers need much more training. If they had the proper training it would eliminate many of these instances.
