I really don't think comparing a pain & suffering, television-ad court case 
with the death of a person at the hands of the police is worthwhile. 
Completely
different circumstances.
There's more, of course, including the fact that they employed hog-tying, 
which
was banned at their department at the time. 
Regardless, discussing one anecdote does us no good.
But, let me ask this of everyone in the echo:
Do you think police brutality is a problem in our society, and if so, what 
should be done about it?
I'd be interested in hearing what the cops on this echo think of police 
brutality..
