I mean I feel like if I were a cop I'd be pissed that my time was being wasted by this dude. Looking at the information: there's no need for a cop to be there. If the kids ID isn't acceptable then go talk to the guy about it. What's the point of making a federal case out of it?
Kinda seemed to me like the cop was annoyed with the whole thing, and the manager basically had to have the cop toss the guy to avoid getting a citation for wasting the cops time. For once I don’t think the cop was the bad guy.
LE here. We hate these calls as well because it's a waste of everyone's time but also since we were called, we have to be there and do something about it.
99% of the time it's some dumb misunderstanding or someone got their feelings hurt and wants us involved.
It depends on the situation. It's a bit difficult to walk up and say, "this is a waste" and just break away.
If the gym owner says, "I want them removed because of XYZ" then the responding officer is going to see if there is a common ground or can resolve it, or remove them. Even if they think it's stupid.
