people the situation sucks to high heaven...

i love our law enforcement. my brother is one. IMHO, the cops are held to a higher standard, or should be. they should lead by example, and wield authority wisely. they are totally under the microscope 24/7. they are trained, and re-trained (or should be). no cowboy, tough guy stuff. they eff up, sorry...OUT

i asked my brother if he heard about the situation. i was surprised he said no. he researched it, and found the video. he also watched it with other training officers. his opinion is that the perp was under control already. dog piled, and outnumbered. no need to pull the pistol.

personally, i am surprised they didnt watch the surrounding "elements" more closely. those cops are taught holds that subdue with effiecency. my brother once showed me some move to put on cuffs, i was not able to struggle in seconds. i think he was just twisting my wrist and thumb.
