I hate comments like this. You can't say the guy is scum off of a 10 second video. Did he make a scummy move, sure. But one bad move doesn't make a person scum.
Or they lost their temper after having a bad day and at the end of a long shift. Anyone can snap and do something stupid in a bad moment, a 10-second video says nothing about their fundamental character. This could be an every-day thing to them, making them a bad person, or it could be literally the worst thing they've ever done, making them a pretty good person having a bad day. It's impossible to state it as an absolute from just watching this video.
Lol. Who cares if he had a bad day, you realize that such a blow can be leathal? If you can't control your emotions, you're not supposed to be a cop. I've seen more restraint in MMA matches.
But you're doing the same, except the clip we have of him is punching a person out of anger. Nothing in this clip shows he's an outstanding dude. So we have more proof of him being bad than good.
He isn’t trying to say anything about the guys character - good or bad - except that we CAN NOT determine who he is based on this one action. And he’s completely correct. Automatically assuming someone is terrible after one example is rash and ignorant.
I'm not trying to make an argument one way or another. My only point is that we don't know enough to say anything meaningful about his character from a couple seconds of video.
You are completely right my friend. I defended you more thoroughly below, but these people trying to sum up this mans character over one action is completely ig’nant.
