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.

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.
