Yea, that entire pesky 'honor a persons Constitutional rights' thingy is so last century....
The kid was doing absolutely nothing wrong. Nothing.
The cop got off easy by only being fired. He should have been prosecuted under 18USC242.
Now this City needs to be sued until it's bankrupt. Maybe that will teach the citizens to hold its Mayor and Police Chief accountable for their actions.
God I hate bad cops more than just about anything else.
Mostly I hate bad cops because I count several good cops among my circle of friends.
People appear to be so SMART when doing so.
Unlike people who defend crooked cops. They don't just appear to be @$$holes, they are @$$holes.

My wife, when she was younger, and a girlfriend attended a play on the north side of Chicago. Afterwards, they couldn't get a cab and decided to walk to where their car was parked, quite a distance away.
The Chicago police intercepted them and asked what the hell they were doing walking through that dangerous neighborhood at midnight. He gave them a ride to their car. Maybe they should have exercised their Constitutional rights and told the cop to buzz off, huh?
"The kid was doing absolutely nothing wrong. Nothing."
Neither was my wife.
