Prince George's County, Maryland police officer Corporal Donald Taylor, a 13-year-veteran, claimed that after catching up to an aggressive youth who swung at him and began to flee, the youth reached for his gun, at which point he fired his gun at the youth in self defense. Despite this tale, newly released surveillance footage obtained by Fox 5 News shows the officer running up behind the youth, then smashing him in the head with his gun in a surprise attack, which triggered his gun to fire in the process. [More]That was a pretty brutal--not to mention incompetent--attack. And his fellow "Only Ones" had the video two days after the arrest, "yet they made him rot in jail for four months nonetheless."
Lying thugs.
As an aside, but illustrative, I love the slideshow on the taxpayer-funded Prince George's County website--one has "Vote 2012" and another has a picture encouraging reading, the book being one by Obama. They even distribute a flyer--pretty sweet deal when one of his supporters can generate de facto campaign literature on the public dime and claim he's just encouraging literacy.

Wow. I do not have the words to describe the evil displayed by the cop in the surveillance video.
I originally wanted to make a comment about calling a 19 year old a "youth", but that's so petty in light of the monstrosity caught on tape.

Horror of horrors, his friend was wearing a ski mask because it was cold. I wonder if that was one of those "high capacity assault" ski masks?
