the poor cop is being judged simply on the fact he is white.

in some segments of our country every discussion of race has to include "reverse racism" as if it's an equivalent issue.

I judge him on the fact that he is a heartless idiot.

Stirring up calls of racism everytime there is a black/white altercation makes matters worse rather than better. We have the luxury of knowing what was actually going on inside the hospital. At what point did the cop make any racist comments?

The fact that it is being called an act of racism shows how far there is to go.

The fact that this officer believed he was doing his job properly is absolute proof he should never have the chance to do it again.

Law enforcement officers need to be held to a higher standard of behavior, based on the possible consequences of their actions.

Every day I seem to come across stories of police abuse. Is it happening more frequently, or are there just more video cameras recording it these days?

Yeah lets hold officers to high moral standards and continue to pay them pennies on the dollar. You know, because life is f.ucking grand when you're making around $35,000/year. I mean who wouldn't be happy as a motherf.ucker with a great job like that and 3 kids and a stay at home wife living in a s.hitty duplex.

Edit: Yeah and be honest...who here really cares about their mother-in-law? I mean really.

Granted the officer showed a giantic lack of common sense/compassion(and deserves to be disaplined). But he did witness someone commit several moving violations. Then when they finally stopped, he had 3 people jump out of a car and choas ensued. Like I said I don't think he handled the situation well after all the cards were on the table (But, it wasn't like he was a 20 year vet) he thought was just doing his job.
