wow, all kinds of fail. I think i could have learned almost more about the case reading tea leaves. Not saying the cop is right, but they have no facts, they don't even know anything on the victim, or anything else. Id really hold off on guessing anything on this until more facts actually come out. Same as the Zimmerman, everyone jumped on bandwagons before any kind of facts came out.

If the video shows, as alleged, this guy going over to someone seated and attacking him while he is seated or trying to stand, then fleeing the scene, it seems to be pretty clear cut.
I've seen INGO'ers regularly call for this kind of justice.
Tell me about it. I've seen one jabloney on here who thinks it is perfectly reasonable to run up to someone that is watching you, knock them down, and proceed to bounce their hear up and down on the sidewalk. Can you believe it?
Not that I'm defending this guy, the story did read, ".....when Vanderlee stood up and cursed, Clifford punched him, thinking he was going to be hit himself."
If this was truly the case, there is some wiggle room for this cop's actions.
However, given his experience and level of training, the argument could also be made that he overreacted, given the circumstances.
In any event, he fled or otherwise left the scene......That in itself, doesn't look well upon the officer's actions.

I've wanted to punch out obnoxious cell phone users, but know you can't beat someone (and nearly kill them/kill them) for offending delicate sensibilities.
While stipulating most of what you've said here, Counselor, I'd like to take issue with one part of your comment: one punch doesn't count as a beating in my book. Quite possibly it's sad that that one punch resulted, indirectly, in major damage, but it wasn't a "beating".

(snip)......If this guy saw fit to verbally confront this guy twice and lay him out, he's got anger issues.
