Looks like another episode of the aggressive police state flaring up and hurting a citizen with their transcendentally puerile inferiority-complex driven thuggery. We'll see more of this as the economic conditions deteriorate and police militarization continues to ramp up. I think it's pretty safe to say that a lot of normal people are more or less in fear of the police, with more becoming fearful every day. This is a problem without an easy solution. It'd be great if we could hammer down the officers/departments that conduct themselves in this way by firing and charging the officers in question, but there's no political appetite for it. The complaints process isn't going to accomplish anything-- I think the author knows that very well by now. I suggest complaining to the mayor or trying to round up some sort of political action campaign flush with cash. Donate to candidates who campaign on being tough on cops. Make it a campaign issue. It's either that, or be left with this infuriating feeling of helplessness and disgust.
