If there was no video, I wonder how sympathetic some people would be if the victim were not a recent vet.
That is an interesting point. It is also noteworthy that most cops are military vets. Some of the anti-cop turds would be ridden out of FR on a rail if they said bad things about vets.
My whole take on the situation is that in every walk of life (including police AND veterans) you'll find turds. I just don't believe that the turds are a majority anywhere, yet.
Except Hollywood and DU.
