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.

Deputy Schene could be in BIG trouble if Federal prosecutors take an interest:

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > § 242

§ 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States,... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both;

and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both;

(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.

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 1 > § 4

§ 4. Misprision of felony

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
