Nick has had several issues come up recently that call into question his problem solving and decision making ability. The biggest example of this is a recent Taser usage by Nick. Nick responded with other officers to a trespass in progress. The suspect resisted officer 's attempts to place him in custody but eventually they were successful in placing him in handcuffs. After placing him in the back seat of a patrol car and seat-belting him in, the suspect stuck his foot out of the car door prohibiting officers from closing the door. Nick quickly attempted a variety of force options up to and including using his Taser to drive stun the subject in an effort to get him to put his leg in the vehicle.

Youngs had nothing further to add, so I concluded the interview. I took photographs of Mr. Youngs apartment, the abrasion on Mr. Youngs forehead, as well as where the Taser probes penetrated his upper back.

The first chance he had to leave he took it. In all the disarray of that situation Nick just slipped out the back and proved that he can’t be trusted to be there when you need him. This neutrality impacts the
It’s a cold winter morning, and a police officer is patrolling his normal route. Born and raised in this small Midwestern town, he is now starting his own family here. He rarely sees any excitement at 3 A.M., but he spots a car swerving as he passes it on a country highway. He turns around and pulls the car over to find that the driver is his neighbor. It is not a rare occurrence that it is someone he knows in such a small community.
This decision has consequences as well. Nick has information that could be useful to police as well as protect Jay, but he prefers to lie. Jordan Baker suspects Nick to be a liar as well.

This gives him a “bystander complex” which is a social psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim when there are people around. Nick’s “bystander complex” is further cemented when he sneaks out of the party amongst the chaos and spends the rest of it with McKee rather than helping Myrtle. Socially, Nick wasn’t in any position that would hinder him from offering to help Myrtle or even to stop Tom from abusing her. He was after all closest to Tom in relation. However, he doesn’t make an effort to stand up against Tom.
