An example of a law officer taking his oath seriously:

By the video, what made the Sheriff a good LEO, in my opinion, is that he didn't overreact. The first sheriff in the video was a bit sketch, but the second (the one most of the video centers on) remained calm, took stories from both parties, then decided what to do. Kudos to him.

Interesting what people perceive, yes the guy did a great job but 90% of the time that's how it is. Of course the public sees all the crazy vids of out of control LEO and thinks that's the real world. It's not. This is how it's done every day in most every scenario. If it wasn't the world would be in total chaos.

I agree, these videos are refreshing. It would, however, been very easy for the Sheriff to side with the airport "official"' but he didn't, he got the facts first. He did a good job.

I only wish all law enforcement acted that way. What a great guy and very smart also.
