I think that since this has now hit CNN, it's pretty safe to say that at the absolute minimum this cop is going to lose his job and will most likely be prosecuted. I'm guessing that he'll plea bargain down to something like attempted manslaughter and serve a minimal time in jail if at all.
The real fun is going to be at the civil trial where the plantiff's attorney is going to try to play the tape over and over again for the jury. I hope that the City of Chino has been paying their insurance premiums because this is going to be pretty expensive. It's hard to predict jury awards, but I'll throw out $5M as a minimum with really no ceiling.
