People's reactions to minor use of force like this amuses me. People act like the officer did something like beat the guy unconscious or something, he kicked/kneed the man in the torso, when did everyone become such a wimp? Was it excessive? Yeah, probably a little bit, hence the minor suspension.

Police officers work a job that is high stress, they have to operate in constantly new and difficult circumstances and are usually dealing with people who are less than compliant (criminals, drunks, ect). There are always going to be situations where officers make mistakes and cross the line of what is acceptable. Given the circumstances of their job they deserve a little bit of lee way as long as they are acting in good faith.

If you people don't understand that fact, or people choose to be willfully ignorant so you can continue hating the police, it is their right to do that, but their will always be people that understand the difficult work that the police do and accept mistakes will happen.

You really need to watch that video again. I think it is you that is being willfully ignorant.
