Hate to get this subject back on topic, but wow. That is the worst "police brutality" video that I've ever seen. I would fire that guy immediately, and not just because he punched a girl in the face. I would fire him because he can't handle the job. Not one aspect of it, other than maybe writing traffic citations to soccer moms and senior citizens.
He acted like a pussy, so they treated him like a pussy. I'm embarrassed for that guy and his police department. I guaran-fucking-tee 999999 out of 1000000 law enforcement officers would have handled that situation MUCH better than that bullshit. If he can't physically handle a 5'8 160 pound passive resistant jaywalker, what the fuck is he going to do with a 220 pound asshole who isn't going back to jail/prison?
Fucking embarrassment.
And kudos to the people surrounding that incident. I'm sure it was hard to just stand there and watch without wanting to help the girl out...regardless of her crime. Johnnie Law is lucking he didn't get his ass whipped by that mob.
