However, when presented with videotaped evidence, I'm not going to deny my own eyes, nor my sense of what constitutes unnecessary force. If you want to go on thinking that expecting a peace officer to live up to a code of behavior that doesn't include roughing people up is anti-cop, that's your choice.

No one appointed you judge and jury of that cop's fate, sir, and it is not an endorsement of "police brutality," as you so primly and dishonestly put it, to insist that every piece of evidence, not simply the videotape you find so conclusive, be evaluated to determine whether the cop's actions were justified. And yeah, my "choice" of opinion is, you're anti-cop.

Does the kid get the same "innocent until proven guilty" right? If so, then we must assume that all of the posters who have accused him of being a dirtball, resisting arrest, assaulting a cop, etc., must be, in your choice of opinion, anti-black.

Or, your logic is faulty.

Who claimed I was his judge and jury? I've got eyes, a brain, and (probably to your horror) an opinion. And I don;t know where you got the idea that I don't want all the evidence examined. There may indeed be mitigating factors for some of what went on. The cop should be off the force in any case; the additional evidence, if any, will simply determine whether he should also be pursued civilly and/or criminally. That's my assessment and if it upsets you, tough.
