Matthew Edwards, a hard working welder, had just worked a 14 hour shift and was waiting to turn into his neighborhood in Troy, New York. A marked police car was waiting at a red light in front of him at the intersection where he was waiting to make a left turn onto the street where he lives. But when the light turned green, the police car didn’t move. After waiting a few moments, Matthew briefly honked his horn to alert the distracted police officer that the light had turned green. Within 5 minutes, Matthew would be violently arrested by that officer, Taylor Gamache with the Troy Police Department.

FUCK–ALL–COPS
no exception. You are all trash
Smh
Fire him and remove his certification. Take him to court.
Cops are the softest cowards on earth.
The cops that arrested him should be charged for kidnapping and harassment and assault. And fired, stripped of certificate and pension and bond.
Okay. So, the charges were dismissed, but what about him being held in jail? Missing worked, which means missing out on income. And what did he have to pay to get his car From the impound lot?
🐖 👮
Of course there are dickheads with ego fragile as a baby getting it's toy snatched
I’ve tapped my horn a number of times over the years when someone was asleep at the green light. I’ve been honked at, too. No big deal, it’s a reminder to pay attention.
Delete him.
Tyrant Taylor Gamache is one Corrupt Butt Hurt Power Tripping Egotistical Coward, Gamache is the definition of a Corrupt Criminal Coward with a badge, this Rights Violating LYING Oath-Breaking Coward Bully should be FIRED, this Man is A Violent Vile person.. that was a Violent Unlawful arrest….I'm so sick of these Dirty TBLG Thugs like T. Gamache, they act like the SS….This Isn't 1940s N@z! Germany….. So sick of these Butt Hurt Power Tripping Egotistical Cowards.
Cop was probably texting.
Honking a horn is freedom of speech. Cop is so arrogant he turns on his body cam believing it is his duty to harasses a tax paying citizen. Our tax dollars at work.
And probably cop was looking at his phone
abuse of authority, stalking, harassing, retaliation, and assault.
I had a charge dropped in court from going through a red light (it just turned yellow) to “ failure to proceed on a green light “. Should the cop not be charged with that?
Add in the pos judge
The bad 99% of cops give the 1% a bad name.
Another instance of a character flaw possessed by someone that should never be given any power/authority. They seek these positions to exercise their lack of stature in society.
Wow
