The police arrive at the man’s house and an officer immediately goes up to him and yells come out of here or I’m gonna light you up. The man tells the police he has a bad back but he gets up and complies. He’s actually being polite. They bring him to the police car.
They tell him to get in. He asked them to adjust the seat so he can get his legs in because of his bad back. They tell him they can’t. They try to help him get his legs in. He can’t. He’s clearly in pain.
