The police officer was out of control and it is beyond me how any of you are defending that kind of behavior. The black guy should be compensated for the ordeal. Out here you have a thing called 'blood money' and if you end up punching someone in the mouth or basically act like a thug, then you get taken to court and have to pay money out of your own pocket. It's about time that officers like this are not only forced to resign, but they get taken to court and forced to pay compensation. If I throw a pen at a student and blind them, it would be much the same. You have to control yourself sometimes.
