All is not what it may seem in many circumstances. Before you judge, take
the time to go out on a few patrols with your local city police, you may
change your mind and outlook. I know I did. Those guys put up with a lot
of abuse, it is amazing they do not give in to temptation when confronted
by some of these "innocent helpless citizens" when confronted. Yes there
are some bad choices by some or even those who should never be out there,
but most are victims of out of context photography and generally do a very
good job.

BD,
Fair point. I am looking at this photo without any knowledge of its real
context or the facts involved. Perhpas, given the situation, he is in fact
getting off easy. And, yes, overwhelming force is better than total
brutality. Still, I think that there is a trend in this country to use a
heavier hand than may actually be called for.
