Old Man Vs. Garden Grove Police Officer

groingarden.jpg 78-year-old Mong Kim Tran does not like getting pulled over. Via the Daily Breeze, here's the craziness that took place last week: "When he was told he was getting a speeding ticket, Tran came within three inches of the officer's face and began screaming... When the officer told Tran to back off, Tran took a fighting stance, and struck the officer twice with a closed fist and then kicked the officer in the groin... The officer pushed Tran back to the ground and handcuffed him. Tran sat on the curb while paramedics responded. As more officers arrived, Tran again stood up and kicked the officer in the groin."

I would have paid top dollar to see this. Top Dollar.

Everybody was kung foo fighting.......

If this was San Bernardino or Riverside they would've shot him dead as soon as he started screaming (within inches of the officers face). It is surprising that the guy isn't in the hospital for a broken limb.

Sounds like the old Viet guy had a nasty flashback...

What a nice cop. In my hood the guy would have gotten tazzed when he got outta the car.

SJPD will beat the crap out of him.

Wonder if the family would have sued if the officer shot the old fart. Sometimes some people should learn the hard way.
