and have it be supposedly, or assumedly (yeah, not really a word, but you get it), legal.

This guy looks like one of those. He's itching to lay hands on her early on in that video. He keeps closing the gap. You can see his eagerness. And then there's that moment where it is totally unnecessary to lay hands on her but he just can't help himself.

Some other cops aren't like this guy exactly, but they ALL know and tolerate guys like this as co-workers, every department, every day. What does that say about them, hmm?

I've worked with guys who left their jobs to become cops, and they were indeed bullies.

There was no good-natured and level-headed Andy Griffith types among any of them, despite how they'd always tell me that they just wanted to protect people whenever I asked them why they were becoming police officers.

If there was a some rule against chewing gum on that beach, that stupid cop probably would've demanded that the woman open her mouth as he inspects and breathes into it with his f**king unmasked face too.

One was a sweet, caring, generous person. The other was a bully. Guess which one quit in disgust at the whole system and which loved the job just as it was?

The brave little guy was doing his best to protect his owner during the assault, jumping up and gnawing on the cop's pant leg. Most cowardly, bully boy cops would have gunned down the dog.

Thank God he didn’t kill it. She must be super stressed. Please post follow up when you rid of it. It’s really disturbing

Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition. Wiki

He is a fascist with some mental health issues.
America we must take control of our police.

it appeared to me that the woman was walking away trying to leave the beach. So when he grabbed her it made no sense - that was a hostile, unnecessary act.

But also - people please don't walk your dog on the beach. Nobody wants to step in their poop barefoot.
