Cutting the uniform off seems a bit melodramatic.
Kudos for policing their own, but that makes me question their judgment.

Take note that the cop that was arrested chose not to answer any questions.

Perhaps not wanting to put him in jail in uniform?

If the kidnapping charge holds up in court that guy is screwed.

The video would have been better if they played piñata with him after they took the uniform.

I can understand that, but take off the cuffs for a minute and give him a jumpsuit and tell him to change or something.
I doubt he was physically resisting them. As a cop he would have known how that would end.

Why not just remove his uniform and then arrest him? They were in a police station for G-d sakes. I see he was also trying to use the corona virus get out of jail free card lol.

Right or wrong, always shut the fuck up. Step 1, 2, and 3 are the same.
- Shut the fuck up.
- Definitely shut the fuck up.
- See step 1.
The only other words you should ever utter are "I will fully comply officer, and I would like to speak to my lawyer." That's it.

This ^^^
Nothing good comes from trying to plead your case to an officer. Save it for a judge or jury.
The only exception would be to point out some important evidence they might be about to overlook. "the knife he had got kicked into those bushes...." sort of thing.

They were obviously making a statement.

That's why I was complaining that it was a bit melodramatic.
It's as bad as the "weapon seizure" pictures where they'll open up a brick of .22 and spread it across the table and hype up the "massive ammo cache" the guy had.

I dont think so really. They want to get him cuffed so he is under control. That is the first priority. Once that happens they cannot remove the shirt other than to cut it off. They hands are what kill you. They are the window to the intent as we were trained. Get them locked up then go from there. Why risk asking him to remove his shirt? Good call.

Do the police cut the clothing off of everyone they arrest?
NO they would have no reason to remove anyone else's shirt. They specifically removed a law enforcement uniform form a disgraced person. They did not want the arrested criminal wearing their uniform for people to see.
This came to the news about a year ago, I thought it was awesome back when I first saw it and I think it is better now that I have watched it again.
