You have not read all the comments yet, so maybe it is too soon to determine that FR is any one thing.
The tape did not show what happened leading up to the second cop stepping in, so it is difficult to determine what is exactly happening. The article fails to say what the man was arrested for and that would have been helpful in measuring what occurred had it been shown in the video.
It appears the second cop stepped in to stop a meat head abuser cop but one can not tell from the viedo nor the article what led up to the conflict between the police officers. Since the article began with a anti-cop lie in it’s title, it is hard to take anything in the article not supported by video evidence or multiple witnesses seriously.
Just like you don’t want everyone to be on a cop’s side no matter if he abuses his power, you surely don’t want everyone to react mindlessly in an opposite direction. How about we operate based on what evidence is presented. In this case, not much.

There does seem to be some that are offended by the title, but rest assured I did not compose it. I did, however, use it in its entirety as I believe the rules require.

But that is exactly what people do here. Present a video showing abuse and an equal amount of evidence as this video, and people go off half cocked. Now believe me, I think that the greater percentage of LEOs are gang members with badges. I believe I have more to fear from an encounter with an LEO when I carry concealed then I do from a non-badged thug. But I was only trying to present something that may have been construed as positive towards an LEO. I want to have respect for the job they do and to believe the majority of them think we are equals. Obviously I do not feel that way now, and a constant barrage of negatives will not do anything to change my opinion.
