We don't need to know what happened before the cop came in.

Are stupid fucking cops (Not all cops are stupid, this one is) going to ever realize that EVERYTHING is being recorded these days? Its a kid, you are stronger than he is. Get another cop in there and pick him up and handcuff him. I dont think a body slam was needed.

the cop was teachign the kid a lesson. he probably did something the cop thought was totally unacceptable. he roughed him up a bit, sure. but now that kid will remember that for his life. sometimes people need fear put into them. elsewise they end up on teh streets.

Maybe you don't, personally I enjoy having all of the facts at hand before judging some one else.

Zero things that may have happened prior to his entering the room excuse what he did when he walked into the room. The kid could have insulted the cop's dead mother, and it still doesn't grant him license to assault him. You can cloak your position in a pretense of "let's wait until all the facts are in," but what we witnessed is inexcusable.

Luckily we're moving into a culture in which Santara can no longer talk about cops doing this stuff without impunity with the recent firings, indictments, etc. :P

I kid, cops are still likely under-charged in most if not all areas, but the culture is starting to come around with the help of public outrage and cameras on officer, from surveillance, and in the hands of citizens. Cop deserves to be let go and likely charged due to the age of the kid.
