The officer should be relieved of his duties right now, he let his emotions get the better of him and he reacted to those emotions. A police officer needs to be a robot in these situations, the guy could have stood there for an hour and called him baby killer and a good officer would ignore him until there was a threat to public safety.

That said, the rest of the crowd was wrong as well. If you want to know why your friend got arrested, then ask him when you're posting his bail. Its not on anyone to figure out what is going on with who except for the cop.

The only smart one I saw on the tape was the girl telling homeboy to shut the fuck up while dragging him away.

I will say the charges of disorderly on the camera man looks like an admission of guilt on the part of the cop. he should have looked into the camera and told him to make sure his focus was good so the tape will stand up in court for his defense.

And bongo, we don't need anyone other than the police to be a 'peace officer', what we could use is some common sense. If we were to follow it back and see what happened to lead the police to the bar, there would have been a couple of guys refusing to use the sense they were born with. The incident didn't start the second the cops got there.

Thats a problem I have with the media too, lets make sure only the dramatic parts are seen, so what if everything else justifies what they did show. It isn't good TV.
