The bystanders were in their right mind, and the cop should have taken a clue.
This is so tragic, in every way.
Why someone would persist as he did, knowing he was being filmed, and why the other cops stood around w/out trying to intervene and/or just get the perp into a vehicle and moving, is not understandable to me.
Perp appeared to be prone and most likely cuffed at this point, as there were 3 other officers standing around who would have been available to cuff the perp if he wasn't already?
I'm no cop hater, never have been, but the stress of their jobs and the inherent danger seems like they need some counselling and re-training on a regular basis?
Seems like it can otherwise take a toll on their emotional well-being and therefore ability for sound judgement.
Nothing about this makes any sense to me at this point.
