I see a lot of disturbing things in this thread, and its gotten huge, so I'll just make some blanket statements.
The problem, IMO, is not so much these cops, it's law enforcements elitist attitude. Everyone is saying, well, the cop told him to go away and he did'nt. A badge does not give an officer carte blanche to issue orders, though many seem to think it does. Police officers are becoming a whole seperate class of society that is not being held up to the same rules and restrictions that the rest of us plebs are. That is bad. Very bad. That's revolution bad, because there will eventually be a terrific backlash. So if you like your way of life the way it is now, call em as you see em, and put the rules back in play on those who consdier themselves above them.
Now, CNN is reporting that the suspect was not issued any sort of sobriety test at all and the officers involved are out on bond.
Draw your own conclusions. But if the conclusion that you come to is that a lot of rights were violated, and a man was brutalized, think about what would be happening now if that camera crew was not there. And also consider, that for every one documented example, we have 1,000 others undocumented. Mebbe more.
