So, the car thief got her little ass whipped. Funny how the entire situation could have been avoided had she not set out to hurt others via taking their property ... let's just say I don't feel bad for the little, well, you know what...
That being said, what the officer did is inexcusable. But people must remember that such behavior is a rare exception - not the rule. I'm sure there are plenty of members of law enforcement tempted to kick the crap out of perps on a daily basis. God knows many deserve it. However, the VAST, VAST majority demonstrate what I believe to be remarkable restraint.
The title of this thread seems to suggest that this is commonplace. The fact is, stories like this should be a reminder of how rare these occurences are.
