Oh, she gets it and so do I.

Too many folks these days doing whatever the hell they like, regardless of how it affects others. The punk had no concern for anyone other than himself and was willing to take the lives of others (thankfully that wasn't the result in this situation). This officers gesture make a clear statement to the convict and the public that incarceration by itself is the least of is punks problems - the penalty will bite you in the ass (or pound you...). What could have resulted in a 30 day stay in County jail was turned into a prolonged stay in prison with all of the unsavory activities it entails. Maybe it will get the next guy to consider that it's far worse in prison than simply having your movements restricted. Maybe, just maybe, the next guy will stop short of escalating an encounter.

I applaud the officer.
