My reaction uncannily resembles that of our fiery simian friend there.
Dipshit has lost his badge and gun and probably his job over it; quite rightly too.

WTF is right! maybe if we get it around the netz enough, it'll make it to the way-behind tv news.

I have no sympathy for these people. In fact that video is kinda funny. That cop had to have serious cojones to pull a stunt like that. He could have been hurt worse than the bicycler. Plus how silly of the cop to do that when everyone has a video camera out these days. One of the riders was riding with his camera going.
I mean I get sick of cops, but this video was kind of funny. He didn't start beating on the bicycler with his baton after he knocked him off the bike. I guess you could call police brutality, but I don't really know. Seems like I could make a more informed decision if I lived in that area.
WTF was that?
Why was he singled out?
What the hell was the cop's problem?
