The psychology on this thread is fascinating.
He probably shoulda minded his manners.
Maybe it wasn't he who was ill-mannered.
This sounds a lot like the criticism of George Zimmermann.
"Why didn't he mind his own business?"
"It was just an ass-whuppin'! He should never have bothered Trayvon!"
Etc.
The next time there is a "White Girl Bleed a Lot" incident, will your gut reaction be: "They must have played the knockout game with that guy for a reason. He probably mouthed off to them or something."
That you compare this cop to George Zimmerman is telling.
George was trying to protect his community.
This cop was trying to get laid. He messed with the wrong people and got taught a lesson. If he wasn’t a cop the NYPD wouldn’t have even cared let alone filed charges.
