All decent people agree police brutality is wrong. We're talking here about a fellow bicycle rider who knowingly caused a taxpayer-owned vehicle to be damaged.

"He couldn't have seen the things he said he saw," Hoff said. "It was too dark, and it just couldn't have happened that way. The polygraph showed that he made up the story and shot himself - the bullet grazed his vest - to impress the office secretary, who he was dating. He was married, and his wife didn't know about the affair."

And BTW, some (many) cops think that beating on people is ok, for example their wives, etc. And of course think that stomping 'criminals' is part of their duty.
