Be done with it...
Then sue with a civil suit the crap out of the officer....
idoit = idiot
That cop is a tough dude...
took down a 70 year old man....

The criminal was not a Marshall, Mo. officer. He worked in another town.
It seems to me that all that being an officer does here is make the criminal more responsible for knowing that he was committing a crime. He certainly should be charged with a crime. Even if he is not criminally charges, he committed a tort and should be sued into bankruptcy.
Now Columbia, Mo. where the criminal works might want to fire the criminal. If not, the next time he damages someone they may be found negligent.
But there will still be people here on FR that will support what this officer did. Remember, this officer felt his life was in danger and was thus justified in giving the elderly man a beating.
