>Sadly this type of thing happens all too often. On the bright side at least he didn't get shot. I really wish that all cops had body camera's, a lot of these types of things would probably be eliminated and it would be a great tool for the police to have too.

Too many times there's an incredibly stupid act that leads to someone getting injured or worse.
On the one hand, I really try to take and analyze each one on a case-by-case basis. But on the other hand, there's no question that in certain parts of the country, there's some disturbing racial profiling going on.
I fully understand why someone would watch this video and speculate that the police might have reacted differently if Jody Westby hadn't been Caucasian.
I know police have an extremely difficult job. Every year police are shot/killed when the pull someone over. But that can't be used as justification for things like the shooting that took place at the gas station in South Carolina (all caught on video) a few weeks ago.
