1.) I Think that he attacked his father because he might not have a very good relationship with his father, so him finding out that his father had helped with his delivey it had made him mad at his father.
2.) If I was the cop who had to respond to this I would really think about why I have to do this everyday, I would react like this because not most people are the smartest.
1.) Since this is in Florida, not all the crimes but a lot of times, the suspect could've be on drugs (not stereotyping or degrading people in Florida) and attacked the father. Maybe the man had personal issues with his father and lashed out at him.
2.) I would question myself on why I'm still being a police officer if I would have to deal with situations like this. But, I would try to gather a lot of information on this incident and would try to see if maybe there is more to the situation.
The only reason I could see it is that he maby had felt imbarssed that his father helped deliver him i guess idk thats the only logical reason i could think of
I would think of it as this is the stupidest case i have ever showed up to and second why is this kid attacking his father with a pizza
I think the florida man attacked his father with the pizza for assisting his birth because he was on some sort of drugs. If he was on any sort of drugs that would mean he was not in the right state of mind and could have been going crazy over them and getting mad over everything.
If i was a reporter in Florida writing about this situation i would be very shocked for many reasons. First, i dont see why it would be nessacary to assult him with a pizza because if he hadent help deliver him he could have been in bad hands and gotten injured or even died. Another reason is that its just horrible to do that to your parrents after all they have done to make you a good person.
I feel like the Flordia man attacked his father over helping deliver him at birth because of some issue that appears to not be shown. If I saw this as an officer reporting the scene, I don't think I would be surprised because I would think that by now I would have seen much worse than that.
I think that he may of had some issues with his dad in the past or he could have been mentally challenged and just got overwlmed by that news. If I was an officer reporting to that scene I think I would just be very confused as to why he chose a pizza to attack him with, but I would proform my duties and help thet man.
I think that the Florida man assaulted his father due to mental health issues that make him more aggressive. If I was an officer reporting to the scene I would react surprised but professionally. I would know that he was dangerous because he punched his own father over something that shouldn't make him upset.
He must have had a past with his father that wasn't positive and wanted to get back at his father. I doubt it was specifically for delivering him at birth. I would probably think it was hilarious because he literally threw a piece of pizza at his father, but I would try my best to be dispassionate and calm.
Robert must have had other problems with his father to go this far. He must have thought it was bad or not okay to help deliver him. I would just try to calm down Robert and make sure that his dad was okay and not hurt.
