Just wait - there will be people on this forum rushing to the defense of this thug. Count on it.

Don't insult MMA by comparing it to this guy.Police officer practicing his MMA skills on a woman.
That's way overkill.We should line up all the police officers, shoot them and start from scratch.

That's way overkill.
There are plenty of good officers.
The problem is that finding the bad involves investigating all, and they're basically the investigators (in some cases).
I said "plenty", not most.What? Do you mean most are good? In my own personal Latino experience most of em are pieces of ****. Are you white per chance or have some statistic? Just wondering, personal experience can be misleading.
That's bull****. When the "bad" are investigated the police chief just gives them the all-clear. Or just record them on camera behaving badly.That's way overkill.

I myself am white (edit: VERY white - I'm pale even though it's summer - of course working indoors and not being awake much during the day probably helps), and my only experience with police has been after an accident or when stopped for some traffic violation earlier in life. Some of the officers struck me as assholes, but beyond that...
Obviously I realize my experiences would not have placed me in a situation to see the potential bad, but that doesn't mean your experiences are an accurate picture either. Personal experience is very rarely the whole picture.
That was kinda my point, actually.That's bull****. When the "bad" are investigated the police chief just gives them the all-clear. Or just record them on camera behaving badly.

It'd have to be something fairly extreme to justify punching someone you're sitting on in the face.What happened before the video started? Do we know?

Just for fun, can you come up with a plausible scenario that would justify the face punching?Kinda need to know, before condemning the guy as a racist. I know folks can't help themselves, but those of us with more common sense know better.

We know it'll be made up and won't hold you to it.
Everything you said could have happened. Nothing you said would justify repeated punching in the face, especially after she's already down.This could have been a confrontation that, for whatever reason, got very emotional. By walking off the way she did, she was resisting. She was obviously fighting back when he took her down. She might have assaulted him, before she started walking off. How do we know either way?
We only saw a few seconds of what could have been going on for several minutes. A few seconds isn't enough to say for sure what went down. Have we even heard his side of the story, yet? Or are we just going to go on a few seconds of video?
Wait, wait, back up.Kinda need to know, before condemning the guy as a racist. I know folks can't help themselves, but those of us with more common sense know better.

Take two?
Wait, wait, back up.
Who was accusing this guy of being racist? Why is race involved at all?
He was sitting on someone punching their face. That right there is reason enough to question the event, without even trying to apply racial over/undertones to the matter.
We should line up all the police officers, shoot them and start from scratch.
