Subject: “We’re Done Here” Power Tripping Cop Tells Harvey Flood Rescuers To Leave (video) Sun Sep 03, 2017 7:17 pm
Volunteers looking to help victims of Hurricane Harvey were apprehended by a police officer in Vidor, Texas, who told them that their help wasn't needed.
Volunteers aiding the victims of Hurricane Harvey in the flood-ravaged city of Vidor were stopped by police in an encounter that was caught on video. James Hartwell posted the video on Facebook on Saturday.
In the video, an officer approaches the men who were riding on the bed of a large “buggy” pulled by a truck that they transported to Texas to help with relief efforts. The officer yelled, “Is this your vehicle?”
When Kirkendoll said that it was, the officer responded, “You guys need to come down here right now … Because I said so.”
“You don’t gotta be so grouchy?” Kirkendoll replied. “What do you need?”
“I want you to climb on down,” the officer demanded. “I wanted to take a look at your identification.”
When Kirkendoll said his identification was in the truck, the officer yelled, “Come on down, come on down right now, or you’re not going to be leaving.”
