That veteran hit the nail on the head at so many levels. He should run for office. The cops involved should be fired and brought up on felony assault charges. Follow it up with civil suit against the city / county. Next, conspiracy charges.
The war vet really described the national situation with cops perfectly, and from the experience and training of an actual soldier.
The cop was revealed as a criminal threat to the public, who needs to be sentenced to jail for assault and trying to confiscate the phone as an officer of the law.
