You are exactly right on that. This has gone far enough and it needs to stop. Anyone can be a victim of police brutality. The way police relate to the public is something that needs addressing. I'm just sorry for the good ones who have their reputations tarnished by a few bad ones. I can't really comment on gate's encounter with that officer because I wasn't there. I really don't know who to believe as it's one mans's word against the other. Hope I'm making sense here.
