So where do you draw the line? Is it OK for cops to give slaps to the head? Is a light punch OK? How about hands on the throat?

You ever think that the guy didnt complain because no one would listen? Whos he going to complain to? Other cops?
Even after this video is out, who is investigating the situation? Other cops from the CPS. That gives me a lot of confidence these cops will probably get an award from their brothers.
