I'd cuff him and beat the living crap out of him for failure to respect mah authoratah.

I know you better than that, so you are just being satirical.

Which means you avoided the question.

I am skeptical, but honest and fair. I think this one article is only giving ONE side of the incident, and I think most readers are falling for it.

You seem to think it's A-Okay for Officer Roidrage to have done soething that to this old geezer.

Do I think the officer may have used emotion rather than logic ? Yes. Do I think that the drug abusing derelict who had been instructed not to come into the bus station to sleep, and yet kept doing it, and who told the officer "F&CK YOU, LEAVE ME ALONE" had an equal part in it ?

YES.

Seriously, what would you do?

I asked you because while you and others COMPLAIN, none of you offered any SOLUTIONS. Neither you nor any of the others have come up with anything but "I wouldn't slap him".

I would agree with that thought, except for one thing. It wouldn't solve the problem.

Just like in the Eric Garner case, we are being fed a minimal video with minimal facts that MAKE the homeless man appear innocent.

I think you all are being played like a fiddle.

I think this incident deserves investigation and that the officer may have stepped over the line a bit, but I think it is more important to have all the facts of the case before making these knee jerk reactions.
