Sometimes, if not always, in these cases the explanation is worse than the tort. Okay, so the kid has got a scratch on his back and the puppy's paw is hurt but both will recover but what kind of an adult perceives a 14 year old kid with a puppy in his arms as a threat that had to be neutralized? Would this be the proper reaction for a school teacher? Would this behavior be tolerated by the school board even if the teacher alleged he or she was given a "dehumanizing stare"? The kid was saying, "eat shit" and the cop knew it and he lost his temper. Police training has not kept pace with video technology so when a cop is caught assaulting a citizen on camera the offender and his supervisors strain both the publics patience and credulity with imbecile explanations.
