OH, for goodness's sake! He "allegedly" beat a person who made a request he didn't like. I strongly doubt her race or manner of dressing was a key facter.

Agreement bump.

If he hit her 25 times or more, her face would look like a bloody pulp. Even money says she doesn’t have a mark on her.

Well, if this statement from the story is true, then both would be considered factors....

Vaughan’s statement said Alfaro then used the N-word against Vaughan, who is black, and made comments about Vaughan’s appearance, saying “You wanna look like a man, I’m gonna treat you like a man.”

I agree with you on this one. In the first place he probably was violating the rules by smoking a cigar at a public pool – that’s not something I would call a heinous crime although I might find a smelly cigar rather annoying and might have asked him to put it out if smoking wasn’t allowed.

It sounds to me like this cop has a real anger management problem. Even if she was black and a lesbian and even if she was extremely rude to him, she didn’t deserve to be beaten like that. Sounds like this guy has a bit of a “hair” tigger and as a cop, I would expect him to show some more restraint than this.

I’m not black or a lesbian but I do drive a Subaru and have a golf lisence plate holder. I’d sure hate to be pulled over for exceeding the speed limit by this jerk. “Hello officer, what seems to be the problem? “Take this you Subaru golf-loving lesbo! Smack, pummel smack wack…

I’ll bet he was fighting for his life against an overwhelming foe.
