I do not have any respect for any LEO who acts/reacts in the fashion this man did. He is not paid to enact punishment on another person because of some comment made to or about him, or a shoe which goes towards him at ankle level (notice that the shoe appears to be a sneaker - not much danger of injury from one of those). The disrespect this child demonstrated is not the issue in this case - sorry, but police have faced far worse behavior from far older and more dangerous people for untold years (since the birth of organized LE agencies). Crying about the disrespect of this child in the face of the beating she took is IMHO unbelievable.

(snipped the third part since it does not apply here)

The second officer might not be off the hook, either, since he did not report it. A detective saw the tape two days later and notified her supervisor. I guess it all depends on the Federal prosecutor.
