Anyone who reads these police threads knows that I am definitely pro-cop. That said, if this story is correct, the Deputy needs to be fired and arrested.
I'm very pro cop too. If there wasn't video of this, I'd be sympathetic to the fast choices cops often have to make.
Don't switch sides now! Just because of a little video? That thing is obviously photoshopped. Cops can do no wrong.
If there was no video, I wonder how sympathetic some people would be if the victim were not a recent vet.
