But Rogero was angered that the father had threatened to call the cops on him, so he followed him outside, trying to bait him into a confrontation.“No, call the police, you say you want to call police, call them,” Rogero taunted, figuring his badged brothers would back him up no matter what. “He’s being disrespectful,” Rogero told the man’s girlfriend, a man accustomed to being worshipped for his badge.
“Because if you know you’re going to be late, out of courtesy, why don’t you tell her I’m going to be late,” he told the father.
“I did,” the father responded.
“No, you called after 9 o’clock,” he said. “If you know you’re going to be late, she’s a friend of mine.”
The 15-year-old boy piped in, asking Rogero how was this any concern of his anyway.
That led to Rogero shoving the boy hard in the chest, sending him sprawling.
Then he moved in to arrest the teen and the two started wrestling around as the boy’s mother tried to pull the teen away from the madman attacking him.
“If I have to shoot you, I will,” Rogero said before pulling out his gun on the teen, who then laid face down on the sidewalk.
And then he turned on the boy’s mother.
“And you’re going to jail, too” he said, pointing at her. “Assault on a federal officer. You struck me!”
“No, you’re hurting my son,” she said.
“He got in my face and threatened me,” Rogero then explains to the father, who has maintained incredible composure through the whole debacle.
“I’m in my capacity 24 hours a day,” the fed tells the father, essentially saying he has the right to get in anybody’s face and threaten them whenever the mood strikes him.
Good thing this guy is off the street
