That is not the reality. Your police officers are REAL human beings.
The "suspect" or perp, does NOT care who they mow down, run over, maim, dismember, or just kill. To them, it is just a game, story, badge of honor or simply something to do. Regardless of their reason, they have no feeling nor sympathy for the victims or their families.
There is a reason we give Police Officers weapons. They are not always in the form of a gun.
We need order.
We need protection.
We need to be protected from those who will find joy in doing us harm.
We need Police Officers. Do you risk your life everyday when you go to work?
The Officer did the unsavory, but correct human reacion. Get over it.
Law and Order is not a TV show, it's real life, on the streets of America.
Thank who ever you deem, that this didn't happen in your town, to you're family, to you're friends.
If it did, you might feel different.

the ugly part of this whole rant is that some of these officers carry this behavior over to their interactions with normal law abiding citizens who are just peacably going about their own private business. They get away with that awful behavior as well. It's why you'll see more cops being killed or beaten over the next decade.

An attorney for the El Monte, Calif., Police Officers Association said the kick to the head delivered by an officer to a car-chase suspect lying on the ground was a legally justified "distraction blow," the Los Angeles Times reported.
The Times reported Dieter Dammeier said the officer acted within his training and department policy when he delivered the kick at the end of a televised high-speed pursuit Wednesday afternoon.
"Unfortunately these things never look good on video. Sometimes officers have to use force when dealing with bad guys," Dammeier said. "The officer initially came upon the suspect alone. The suspect hadn't been searched and was a parolee and a gang member. The individual officer saw some movement. He feared the parolee might have a weapon or be about to get up. So the officer did what is known as a distraction blow. It wasn’t designed to hurt the man, just distract him."

yeah, people wonder why I hate the police.
