A Texas police department is drawing criticism after a negotiator was caught on camera insulting a man standing on the edge of an overpass.
San Antonio police closed Loop 410 last Thursday while they worked to bring the man back down unharmed, but many were disturbed by the department’s negotiation tactics, outlets reported.
“We’re talking to you about your son and you’d rather smoke a cigarette under a bridge like a New York rat. That’s pathetic, you’re pathetic,” the negotiator is heard saying in video shared to social media.
