Driver Honks at Cop Car Idling at Green Light, Gets Arrested 5 Minutes Later

Matthew Edwards, a hard working welder, had just worked a 14 hour shift and was waiting to turn into his neighborhood in Troy, New York. 

A marked police car was waiting at a red light in front of him at the intersection where he was waiting to make a left turn onto the street where he lives. 

But when the light turned green, the police car didn't move. After waiting a few moments, Matthew briefly honked his horn to alert the distracted police officer that the light had turned green. Within 5 minutes, Matthew would be violently arrested by that officer, Taylor Ganache with the Troy Police Department.
