Now the part that I don't get is this: IF the cop was in fact wearing his uniform, why would the guy say what he said? The cop even quoted him saying that, which is not too good for him IMO.

It's crazy. I still think he over did it. A ticket maybe. An arrest though??? That's crazy.
overdoing it? this is waay past over doing it lol

but yea the cop was out of line if he wasnt wearing an ATL police uniform
