after being ordered to return mr. Atkinson's ID and vacate the premises officer smiley turns off his body cameras audio to confer with his superior the sergeant understands that no crime has been committed in the proper course of action to restore peace is to simply leave the same eventually officer smiley returns mr. Atkinson's ID and the officers leave without making an arrest or acquiring any more information from mr. Atkinson following this interaction officer smiley resigned from his position at the boulder Police Department under an agreement that allows him to collect NUMBER_TOKEN thousand dollars in salary mr. Atkinson has filed a lawsuit against the city of Boulder that is still ongoing overall officer smiley gets an F for detaining mr. Atkinson without reasonable suspicion abusing the power of reasonable suspicion and escalating an interaction that could have been easily resolved with any number of alternative actions officer smiley approached mr. Atkinson with absolutely no evidence to support his claim that mr. Atkinson did not belong there and essentially trampled over the Fourth Amendment to compile a pathetic excuse for reasonable suspicion the only person who even trespassed during this interaction was officer smiley his determination to acquire mr. Atkinson's information well after he became aware that mr. Atkinson was not trespassing is a testament to his terrible police work if officer smiley worked this hard to neglect common sense and prosecute such a petty offense then there is no telling how many innocent civilians were unjustly detained or arrested before he was finally forced to resign mr. Atkinson gets a c-plus because although he did stand his ground and did not surrender to the intimidation of the police he also escalated the situation by becoming a high rate and allowing his emotions to dictate his candor it is extremely difficult to remain calm while being subjected to abuse from the police and mr. Atkinson's reaction to this in her action is somewhat justified but there were several moments during this interaction where a calm and collected attitude could have been beneficial rather than becoming angry at officer smiley for overstepping his bounds using logic and questioning the accuracy of the officers actions may have proved more effective mr Atkinson's case is an isolated incident where allowing anger to be the driving force of an interaction worked out in favor of the victim but this is an extremely rare scenario and it is unlikely that an interaction similar to this would play out favorably for most people the responding officers of the boulder Police Department get an A for critically assessing the situation responsibly employing de-escalation techniques and for resolving the situation without incident or harm I come into the BPD for taking the initiative and working to resolve the situation instead of issuing more orders enforcing mr. Atkinson to comply the fact that the commanding officer assessed the situation and made the independent decision that officer smiley was wrong and ordered him to stand down and return mr. Atkinson's ID is exemplary and extremely rare most law enforcement officers operate under a mob mentality and justify each other's actions regardless of the legality or moral connotation associated with the action in this instance the boulder PD demonstrated how a well-trained and highly disciplined law enforcement organization is supposed to conduct itself let us know if there's an interaction
