in the news - trooper

Did the trooper hit the suspect on purpose? It is hard to know without looking at the evidence. But that is why they are reviewing everything in court. I cant say whether or not he did because then i would be stating something that could not be true and taking sides just because of color. It is true however that police get away with a lot of excessive force, i guess its because they are the police. I dont believe either side has an advantage in the trial because a lot of officers have been fired when found guilty of excessive force, but thats all up to the evidence. I believe there are few trials ever heard about when it comes to police authority because most of the time they have to take the course of action they are tried for. They put there lives on the line to help protect us, and are accused so much on brutality and excessive force that the courts dont even bother to take it to trial.
