Wow that’s wild! _Reed tried throwing a punch at two patrons and threw his keys at a third person. He grabbed the manager by the back of the head and pulled him down and away from a doorway. He was not at the bar when officers arrived, but they found him walking down Capital Boulevard and blocking traffic. He had several cuts after jumping a barbed wire fence. EMS was called to help him, and he assaulted a Wake County paramedic as he was rendering medical aid to him by kicking him in the groin._ ![image](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/a/eace174f1f1b9ab28a417fd091dc34657c8ede59.jpeg) ---

I’m glad to see the police department move so quickly when one of their officers was acting so problematic. I wish they handled all police misconduct in a similar way. ---

It doesn’t help Raleigh’s police shortage. ---

Sadly, it’s not difficult to imagine the police as a career being enticing to some people who probably should never be an officer in the first place. [Previous page](https://community.dtraleigh.com/t/police-and-crime-in-raleigh/2409.md?page=28)
