The fact that the police officer’s response was “take it easy, I’m a police officer” after *striking a four year old*, tells us a lot about the government employee involved.
As verbal responses go, that's pretty mild, especially when the cop was injured and saw that he was about to be physically assaulted.
BS, it is irrational, thug violence to attack an injured accident victim. The officer wasn't dressed as an officer and identifying himself was/is an appropriate action. As an officer, he was probably the only one present with basic first aid training. Beating the crap out of him prevents him from helping your child.
There is no point in delivering a beat down. It doesn't get help there sooner, it doesn't help your child and in fact, further endangers them because being near a street fight is always dangerous.
This "dad" is dead because he was a stupid violent thug.
