But since the "undercover" officer was presumably not in uniform or in a police car -- and surveillance videos are often not real clear -- I can visualize how the mistakes could be made by those giving him instructions, too.

yeah worse mistakes have been done...like raiding the wrong family's house and holding women and children captive under gunpoint before realizing they had the wrong address...

I'm absolutely certain that his fellow officers will take care of the mental/emotional beat-down for a long, long time. Poor guy. Nothing more embarrassing than putting your own 'kick here' sign on your arse.

Too bad it wasn't a Seattle/King County cop....they always chase the wrong people. Except when they chase the wrong people they end up "beating the mexican piss" out of them or tackling the wrong guy, throwing him into a wall and putting the guy into a permanent coma. That is, when they aren't beating 15 year old girls in cells or shooting people passed out in parked cars or guys with folded pocket knives.

#13 - Sat Feb 11, 2012 7:40 AM ESTIt really was no ones fault. A person saw something and called it in. He was in the area and responded. However, the guys in the office probably figured it out quickly and was laughing their butts off ( I would have been ). And let him run circles for a long time.
That would be one that hangs around the station for years and years.
