Now this kind of thing is what happens when people call the police to handle something they are NOT trained to handle. (A mentally slow boy with a physical disability who is "acting out".)
But he "resisted" so what's a guy to do but repeatedly punch him while he's handcuffed?
Sidenote: While the officer got fired...they still haven't released him name. Seems legit.
Is that what an reasonable officer would do in that moment? I would guess no since he was fired. Which would mean it did not pass the test created by Graham vs Connor, which is kind of my point.
