Question

You are a new police officer riding with a senior sergeant on patrol. As you approach an older man who appears to be down on his luck and wearing old, dirty clothes, the sergeant tells you to pull the car over. He gets out of the car, grabs the disheveled man by the shoulders and pushes him into the nearby wall. He then, quite loudly, demands the man tell him where his brother, a man wanted for many serious offenses, is living. The man immediately gives your sergeant the address and the sergeant gets back into the car. As you drive away, you can tell that the man on the street is slightly injured and terrified that you will return. You are successful in arresting the suspect at the address. Your sergeant can tell that you are uncomfortable and tells you that you need to understand how to talk to people in this neighborhood to get things done or police officers will be at risk. Do you agree? Why or why not?
