Is he a bad apple? Hard to tell. He clearly was having a bad day. As for his partner, I didn't see one, more than likely under ranked him and thus kept his mouth closed.
Look all cops are not the good guys, but conversely they are not all bad.
That is the point of the "bootlickers" as you want to call us. When there is definitive proof I, for one, have no qualms about meting out the justice that is deserved. When there is no proof I have to defer to the policeman. Does that make me wrong sometimes. Absolutely.
Just for your information, I was in the same position as this young man, when I was a young man, and the results were much worse for me. I was attacked by several police officers. This assault occurred over an extended period of time. From the scene of stop, in the paddy wagon, and the in the jail cell. They got so concerned they finally took me to the hospital to get cleaned up. At the hospital I refused treatment. This caused them such great consternation that they began threatening me with further abuse when they got me back to the jail. I told them they are welcome to kill me when they get back to the jail if that is their desire, then my father can be a wealthy man and you guys can spend the rest of your miserable lives in jail for killing me. So they had to rethink their way out of this predicament they had placed themselves in. Their solution was to throw me in a holding cell with a big black guy that was making lots of noise. He was handcuffed to the bed when I was first put in there. I told the guy to STFU, which I am sure the cops knew I would do after an hour of listening to this guy go off. Once I had done that then they came in and let the guy out of his handcuffs and he proceeded to wail on me. They ley him have about 10 minutes with me before coming in and "rescuing" me. I might add that this guy was considerably bigger and more muscular than I was.

Based on your response to me, he was probably smarter, too.
