What a hollow, prepackaged apology.

Police departments all over the country are very harsh about being videotaped and will often threaten the camera person with arrest or confiscation of the camera.

If the video had not been taken of what he did to Moats, then it would have been a perp's word against a cop's, and nothing whatever would have been done about it.

I know that cops have a hard job, and I wish that people with badges would stop taking honest criticism personally, but I think we've all had about as much as we can take of the hard-assed, almost robotic law enforcer.

We need fewer Rambos and more Andy Taylors.

It could've been handled better, but this isn't exactly police brutality.

No one is saying that it's police brutality, I would say that it's more a travesty of what law enforcement should be. 'To Protect and Serve' has been twisted into 'I'll screw you over if you give me an attitude.' (see original video for that comment from the officer)

that's some racism right there.
