Something isn't right.

You might know that it takes a lot to piss me off, but this absolutely infuriates me. I actually had to keep myself from watching it over and over again because every time I see it, my blood just starts to boil. The girl in this video is 15 years old, and she was arrested for grand theft auto. That's it. Now, obviously she's no saint, but I will be damned if I can find any reason for this to have happened:



That's right! The girl literally did nothing to the officer, and the scumbag takes her down like she's just killed someone. You can't deny this. The officer even said he did it because the girl was, get this, being "real lippy". Excuse me?! Pardon my language, but I hope to God this piece of shit doesn't have any kids of his own. If this is what you do when a kid is being lippy, then you might as well just give every parent out there a license to kill. When someone is being "lippy", you can talk back, you can tell them to shut it, or you can just close the damn door because who the hell cares what she's saying?! It requires no physical contact, let alone a complete beat down. I mean look at the way he grabs her hair, twists her neck and slams her face into the ground. I've seen a lot of cops on some pretty serious power trips, but this is just insane. He could have killed that girl!

He has been charged with assault, thankfully. And, not really surprising, he's pleaded not guilty. Yeah, good luck with that. And I love this typical quote from the cop's lawyer: "We had argued strenuously that the video tape released to the media this morning not be released because it does not tell the whole story of the incident." Well guess what? Fuck you. We just saw the whole story. Here is an article about it if you think I'm being harsh.

When officers are charged, I tend to be skeptical as to whether they'll be fairly dealt with, but I don't really have any doubt that he'll be convicted here. I will be interested to see what the punishment is, though. I think they should lock him up in that room with the girl's Father, and turn the camera off...
