Agreed. It's intent was to create the impression that the cop preyed on an innocent bystander. He whacked her alright but there are always two sides to a story.

This smacks of all the bogus racist campus crimes that have proven to be false lately.

I was wondering why someone would focus on a empty bench....like maybe they knew something was going to happen...

You know that if that cop felt he was in the right those kids who called him a MFer would have been arrested and he wouldn’t have slunk away.

There *may* be more to this story, that remains to be seen. But there are NOT always two sides to every story. That is a truism that just isn't true. There are plenty of completely one sided incidents. Or don't you read about the seemingly endless attacks by Obama's sons on poorly tanned victims.

Besides the hit the girl took, watch the reactions of those who saw it close up. They were pretty stunned.

I'll bet my $100 that it boils down to unjustified brutality.
