After watching this video, I am truly disgusted and feel like throwing up right now.

I can't believe that stuff like this still goes on in this day and age. I hope this poor man gets a good attorney and sues the City of Canton, Ohio from the Mayor all the way down the low life "officer" that inflicted this abuse.
This is the stuff I imagine happens in third world countries, not in the state just south of where I live.
To threaten to shoot a man who is in handcuffs? To threaten to 'cave his head in'?
....and to say that he would put ten rounds in the guy and his partner would back him up as it was justifiable?
...and shame on the second 'officer' for not stepping in and taking control of the situation.
He is just as culpable and should be fired as well.
Here is the police department's 'mission statement' from the City of Canton's website:
"Our Mission
The mission of the Canton Police Department is to protect the lives and properties of the citizens of Canton, enforce all city, state, and federal laws, prevent crime, and educate the public.
We, the men and women of the Canton Police Department, shall perform these duties with honesty and fairness through strong leadership and continuous training. We will strive to serve as role models for the community, applying professional standards and commitment to integrity, sensitivity and compassion to those we serve."
From what I've seen, they fall a bit short. Seems Nazism and Gestapo tactics are alive and well in America.........still.
