I don't hold police officers to this high moral pedestal, they are human beings, they have emotions, feelings. They make snap judgements, they make mistakes. They shouldn't have done what they did, but I totally understand why they did it. Maybe the idiot driving the car should have thought twice about what he was doing and who he was doing it to.
If it's human nature, how come we don't see more incidents like this in the news with officers being fired? Could it be they understand incidents like this are part of the job and that it's the job of courts to dole out punishment as opposed to some vigilante beating.

They made a mistake and it cost them thier jobs. I'm glad they got fired and i hope others in the profession take notice.
