Another Videotaped Police Brutality Incident

This is one of the worst I've seen - a Louisiana cop so badly beat a handcuffed woman who had been arrested for a DUI that she wound up in the hospital with her face a mass of cuts and bruises and several broken teeth. For the second time today, I ask you, will we tolerate this sort of behavior any longer? Taser use and police abuse are proliferating across the country, our government is sanctioning and performing torture, and all of it's in the name of keeping us safe. We say we are upset, but we are doing nothing about it. Are we doomed as a democracy?
