Therefore, I am very prejudiced when it comes to these situations. However, notice that I said "I wouldn't be surprised if...", not "he is..." I didn't accuse him of being a racist, I expressed my strong suspicion. There IS a difference.

Bongobike - please refrain from jumping to uninformed opinions like calling the officer a racist. Yes our country has a sad history with racism, and continues to struggle with it today, but making blatant accusations of racism without any firsthand knowledge is misguided and wrong. Judge by facts, not by opinions. End soapbox. Flame away. He should definitely be prosecuted for excessive force.

I love how he lays in on the hood in front of the camera to wash his eyes out, that he pepper sprayed himself. Punching someone in the back of the head when they are restrained already... What a coward, thank God for video! Wow, what a coward that police officer is. I love how he lays in on the hood in front of the camera to wash his eyes out, that he pepper sprayed himself.

It's just plain cowardly abuse. Wouldn't be surprised if racism played a part too. I finally noticed at the end that the woman was black. Typical... Nah, I don’t call that incompetence.
