I tend to believe this is not indicative of typical behavior by our friends in the Sheriff’s Dept, but this video is truly disturbing. I’m pretty floored quite frankly.

100% uncalled for aggression to a 15-year-old girl. Was she being lippy and bratty, and kicked off her shoe? Sure. Does that mean a huge man with a gun gets to slam her to the floor and beat her about the head? No way. I don’t care if we only know this much of the story. It’s enough to know that this deputy broke the law. We really need our law enforcement officials to be better role models if they want to keep our trust.
