He could have gone inside and talked to the security guard, who would have said what, exactly, “he’s just standing there holding his sign, trying to talk to people as they come and go, and I asked him to leave, to just go up to the road, but he was like, ‘I’m going to stand right here’ so that’s when I called you guys” and a good cop is going to stop writing momentarily, with pen still firmly grasped and glance up from his notes for the narrator to continue onto the part where a criminal action is accused… I don’t know what a good cop Says.. I would feel a bit perturbed at the improper use of *law* enforcement when they clearly just want to use me to force this guy to comply with their will, not the law, so I imagine I’d say something like, “and did anything else happen?” At nicest, or “none of that violates any laws, actually, and you can’t ask him to leave public property [with any authority] unless he’s committed a crime, so if there’s nothing else I think we’re all set”

There was no need for the cop to use patients. Jeff wasn't rude or disrespectful. The office didn't do a great job, he just did his job. The bar is set so low we think believe that. A pizza delivery person delivering pizza and not eating the toppings is what's expected, it's not going above and beyond. If you are payed to provide a service and you do it then your money is earned. If not, you should be fired. If you are going above and beyond, you are under paid.

As a resident of nearby Ladson, I can tell you we have a noticeable homeless population, and from what I've seen, they're treated with love and compassion. I give money and food to them when I can and I'm proud of the way this sergeant handled the situation. Great job Jeff!

Now ladies and gentlemen of the blue line that is what policing is about, not everybody you get a “call” about is a criminal. This cop was very calm and collected, he assessed the situation in seconds and came to the immediate conclusion that Jeff wasn’t doing anything illegal. Had a nice conversation and went on his way, learn from this or get another job. ❤ great video Jeff ❤
