I'm sure that nobody on the video is an Angel. Who's place is it to
decide who deserves what punishment? If it's the Police, then we
could save a whole bunch of money by just ditching the whole
justice system....so no more Judges, Juries, Lawyers, nothing....
....as the Police can take all those roles all at once on the scene.
There are reasons for the checks and balances in the system, and
that isn't being observed in that video.
Anyway....spilled milk at this point as this one is over and done with.
With the prevalence of easy, convenient, & cheap video recording
devices...this isn't the only video of this type in existence, and it will
not be the last.
The reputation (=level of respect, level of trust, etc...) of all Law
Enforcement is tarnished by the behavior displayed in these many
videos, etc...and it becomes a downhill snowball once this begins
with an "Us vs. Them" mentality between those with a badge and
those without. That's where we are at now.
The big questions now are:
1) "How does this get fixed?"
2) "How does the level of trust and respect get restored?"
3) "How does the 'Us vs. Them' mentality on both sides get resolved?"
