Disgusting. In my day, if I had been the officer that did this, my fellow officers would have beat the crap out of me ... and I would have deserved it.
My father (ret. detroit mounted division) told me years ago if officers do crappy arrests its the commanders fault...The commander lets them get away with it...None of the men under him made those kinds of arrests...its like a stiff warning to some is not even considered...noted that some deserve more than that..
