At that angle the guy seemed pretty beligerent. Not that I am any fan of TSA, etc., but there was not enough context for me to form an opinion.

Bag him, to be sure.
But, treating him like less than dirt? That’s what is done in Communist countries, Dictatorships, and Fascist Police States.

At that angle the guy seemed pretty beligerent... But, that can't be the criteria. What matters is, what race was the drager and what race was the dragee... and what should zer0 say about it.

I’m not anti-cop, mind you. Good cops are not a problem to me. The ones who shoot people who are handcuffed and facedown on the ground and then cops who drag people facedown...yeah, those cops are a problem to me.

Pretty mild stuff. Sad, as the man probably has mental health problems. But we can't let such people simply bluster through airport security. From what is shown, the poor guy's treatment does not seem excessively rough. And the offender looks nothing at all like an Obama relative, real or imagined. So why is this even a news story?

I’m not anti-cop, mind you.I hear you. There are good and bad people in all lines of 'work'.
It's just in positions where there is a high potential for abuse of power that they are more visible and seem to proliferate.
