he hates black people and he's a gung-ho cop...I'll ask him how he feels about this video on facebook and report back...
I predict he'll side with the cop but that's just because he hates black people more than anyone and he'll probably find it hilarious...

Im sure your friend that is a cop evidently appreciates you putting his name in print linking him with racism.
How many Lukes do you think work in that district?

This is a different video of the same incident. I think it adds some more context. I would like to see even more.

This is a much better video of what happened.
While I disagree with hitting women for any reason, including this one, the cop has every right to defend himself in a situation that is escalating and he is being attacked by two people. She (girl in pink) absolutely had one hand going high and one going low, leading for the cop to think she may have been going for his gun.
The black guy trying to hold back the girl in pink should tell you everything you need to know about who was in the wrong.
The girl getting the original citation could have avoided this in whole if her parents had taught her to respect authority, trouble is that is rare with some people.
