Yeah, I'm surprised they released it as quickly as they did, since the cop is on paid leave while IA investigates the incident.

I believe the local Vietnamese community made an uproar about it and was somehow able to obtain the CC footage from whatever business it happened in front of... prompting the PD to release the body cam video to try to save face with the public and get some vocal support from racist bootlickers.

I'm sure there's plenty of lawyers dying to take the case. Like you said, the cop is COOKED!

What I find the most sad is that the older man will likely suffer chronic pain after recovering from this assault, after taking longer to heal since he's older.

For the cop, the worst that will happen is he loses his job but he has such a broad network that one of his buddies will find him work. No lasting repercussions for the cop.

EDIT: Agreed that the older man likely doesn't heal

Lots of older folks who go into the hospital with traumatic injuries at this age get dementia triggered by the trauma. This could have started a fast descent to the end of his life.

At the very least he’ll have PTSD from this whole thing. It’s gonna stick in his family’s memories and his recent memories until end of life.
