Brickbat: The Slammer

The Tallahassee, Florida, police department has placed Officer Shawn Wright on leave after video showed him picking a man up and slamming him to the ground head first. The department said the man, who was reportedly unhurt, was involved in a minor traffic collision and left the scene. Video showed he pulled away from officers when they tried to arrest him. He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and resisting an officer without violence. Both are misdemeanors.

"He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and resisting an officer without violence. Both are misdemeanors."
Well, maybe those are "legal" misdemeanors, but in cop world, those are capital offenses.
The only good cop is a dead one. Just the other side of the same low-IQ thug coin as BLM/Antifa.
I'm not sure why anyone has a problem with this. It reminds me of women insisting that opening a door for them is sexual assault, we're now defining police brutality as doing anything other than letting suspects just say fuck you and walk away.
