I think it's that the video speaks for itself. There's not much need to comment on it because it has already said it all. Ugly, brutal, nasty and very hard to watch. In fact I really had a hard time with it because each time that woman screamed I wanted to kill those guys. I can't imagine being her husband because my first instinct would not have been to talk to the news people or to settle in court.

That being said I do have to wonder, the rational and logical side of the brain, why what led up to that seems so murky and confusing. Why would an injured suburban housewife get slammed to the ground, cuffed, dragged off to the station, stripped and basically tortured? It makes no sense at all. It's not a story that will go away, the media will eat that up, and that video is pure gold for them. There may be a point where the lawyers step in and shut everybody up because they see all the dollar signs. At that point you may see how much the husband "wants to make sure it doesn't happen to anybody else" or the show changes to "let's make a deal" and the checkbook comes out to make it all go away. That's pretty cynical, I know, but you know the lawyers are already thinking in those terms. Hopefully all of those guys and "Chief Headupmyass" will at the very least get canned, regardless of what led up to that.

I grew up with a guy that was a criminal, in fact all of his brothers were criminals and now two of them are cops. This guy was already kicked off one police force for bad behavior and now he is right back at it in LA of all places. He told me at one point being a cop was "the most fun he had ever had in his life" and if you knew this guy growing up that would scare the shit out of you. Somehow, I think the process to screen out who gets to wear a badge and a gun is quite flawed and I know several cases where cops have been thrown off one police force only to be hired by another, most times in another state but not always. How that happens is beyond me.
