Cops handcuff man on bike in Plaza
Collegian Staff Report

Kasuy Cook, who said he had been sitting on his bike with a friend, sat handcuffed talking to officers as a crowd gathered around him.
CSU spokesperson Dell Rae Mollenberg said the heavy response was because there were many officers in the area after the officer who made the stop requested backup.
"It just so happened tat there were a lot of other officers in the vicinity, and all of them responded," she said.
"I was sitting on my bike. How did I look aggressive?" the man asked the officer he was talking to.
A few minutes later, officers removed the handcuffs and wrote Cook a ticket for refusal to dismount his bike.
"I was sitting on a bike, I wasn't being aggressive," Cook said after he was let go. "Homeboy came up and handcuffed the sh*t out of me."
Onlookers said as the vehicles entered the Plaza, they were going unsafely fast.

Serves him right. Hundred of people are written tickets every year, but its rare that we hear about a bike officer calling for backup over an aggressive person. (Continued…)

Give me a break. I want to know what the kid did. Maybe it's a good thing the budget is being cut; obviously these power hungry cops don't have enough real problems to deal with. (Continued…)

To start, the Collegian does not have the full story and makes it sound much different then what it really was.
I love the comments from some of these people who know nothing about CSUPD other then what the Collegian says. (Continued…)

To A: Forgive my grammar error. I guess we aren't all perfect like you. I don't know anything about police work because I misspelled a word? Seems like a childish argument. (Continued…)

Get em Steve. Take them apples Mr. A. Such a waste of resources. And I absolutely hate those stupid three wheeled scooters. They should let students take them for free rides, since we helped pay them and all. (Continued…)

Steve: It is refreshing to know that you have respect for police officers and since I don't know you, I will assume that is the truth. I do agree with you that there is a difference between being a officer at CSU compared to Fort Collins or Larimer County. (Continued…)

A: I admit that I probably did overreacted and I shouldn't have belittled CSUPD officers. I apologize for that. I respect their work and commitment to protecting CSU. (Continued…)
