Hold on, let me get your >> Sure. >> It was pushing on me. >> Thank you, arrest yes, sir. Um Do you want to sign or you going to refuse? >> I got it. >> All right, I'm going to give you a copy of it. >> You guys violated my rights. You know that. >> Well, we'll have all be in court. >> Despite Officer Lewis apologizing for almost causing an accident, she and her supervisor, Sergeant Wolf, continued to escalate the situation. Mr. Kern, in handcuffs, was charged with obstruction, a charge that was clearly unfounded, as evidenced by the dismissal of the case 11 days later due to lack of evidence. Officer Lewis herself appeared conflicted during the encounter, apologizing multiple times, but ultimately deferring to her superior's insistence on pressing charges. This further illustrates how poor supervision can exacerbate situations that could otherwise be peacefully resolved. >> You probably don't even know what the problem is for us. >> It's I'm not trying to be a bad cop. I was literally not trying to have any of this happen, and I did apologize. >> You apologized, but your follow this directive. >> He's the sergeant. >> Yeah, but still, like you you swore oath to the Constitution. >> Right. >> And you know what's right and wrong, and sometimes you got to stand up to people. >> Listen. >> No. >> When asked for your information, you have to identify yourself.

Well, right now, you're free to go. >> All right. >> All right. I hope that you feel better, and I'm sorry that all of this had to happen this way. >> do anything. >> Well, we did. We got into a little accident, almost a middle accident. And I apologize. Well, we're going to work through it, all right? I don't think he violated your rights. He wanted you to identify yourself and you didn't. All right? Say again? I did. I did. All right, Mr. Kern. I hope that you feel better, all right? All right, going to go to Metro? Yes, sir. >> The dismissal of Mr. Kern's case signaled that the obstruction charge was baseless. While Sergeant Wolf was a driving force behind the wrongful detainment, Officer Lewis's participation in the misconduct could not be overlooked.
