Geez, more stories of messed up cops, huh? That Baltimore guy was certainly out of line and, like the wheelchair deputy, needs to be dismissed. If it had just been the verbal aggressiveness, maybe just a time out, but he really got physically rough with that kid.

As for the second video, I'm not entire sure. Having watched some of those cop chase videos on television, I have learned that cops get really pissed when people try to run away, so I don't blame him for getting touchy about that. That was just a stupid thing to do. And if they were going to run away, they should have done a better job of it (not that I condone running away). But they had skateboards, and he was on foot, and they couldn't get away? Eh, I should probably stop this train of thought. However, the latter part of the first video in that series was rather vague to me. The camera angles were such that I couldn't tell what was going on. But, for the moment, I can't get it to load again. But from that one viewing, it did seem like the camera operator got taken down a bit too harshly. But then again, I'm not entirely sure what his role was. Eh.
