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.

Hey, I agree that the guy did a bad thing that he shouldn't have done. I even agree that he should be punished over it.

What I don't agree with is attempting to define the guy's character based on a couple seconds of video.

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.

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.
