I was expecting this. Criticize a cop, no matter how justified, and you're anti-police. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect police not to brutalize people. Knee-jerk defense of cops no matter what is far more damaging than wanting to see the bad ones off the force.
I don't think it's decent to jump to conclusions about whether this cop was "brutalizing" someone. Kneejerk condemnation of cops no matter what is more the norm than "kneejerk defense" of them---thanks to 30+ years of politically correct media, education and politics. And yeah, I do think that's justly characterized as "anti-cop."

You must have just gotten to the "party" -- late I might add. There has been three to five severely irrational posters blatantly rationalizing on each of the several threads that have been started since the story first broke on Monday. It's difficult to identify their agenda but process of elimination clearly rules out honesty and objectivity.
