As I understand the story, one witness told me there was actually around 17 vehicles at the scene, I count 13 in this video I screenshot.
Initially what happened was a man tried to buy alcohol at the gas station and was refused because the clerk could tell he was intoxicated and when they saw him return to the vehicle they called 911. Apparently initially only one officer showed up to figure out what was going on and got into a tussle with the individual after a taser failed.
My question is why weren’t two officers called to the scene to begin with? And after the incident is over why so much presence?
Not too long ago I saw 4 officers watching over an abortion protest at the Federal Courthouse of about a dozen people.
Whenever I hear people tell me that we are short officers in Sioux Falls, all I have to do is look at these pictures and ask ‘Really?’
