(54,087 posts)The title cards in that compilation came from much more recently. It was riffing off the Superman radio tagline slogans from the early 1940s, the title is a hat tip to the current TV show, and at 2:30 it references SWAT teams, which weren't developed until the 1960s

Just found some information on it, and a longer video:
Eric Casebolt: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
Ex-Officer Eric Casebolt detaining Dajerria Becton. (YouTube)
A McKinney, Texas, cop was recorded in a now-viral video cursing at juveniles, violently detaining a 15-year-old girl and pointing his gun at two unarmed teens at a community pool party.
David Eric Casebolt, a 40-year-old Navy veteran who had been an officer in McKinney for nearly 10 years, resigned from his position as corporal four days after the June 5 incident. He had been placed on administrative leave on Sunday after the video, which was posted to YouTube.
Police Chief Greg Conley called Casebolts actions inexcusable and said he was the only officer on the scene who didnt follow proper protocols and training.
Casebolt, who goes by his middle name Eric, is white, while the teens he is seen arresting and yelling expletives at are black.
The family of the teens who were at the party and other community activists have called for criminal charges to also be filed against Casebolt.

(38,187 posts)They know the world sees them for the bullies they have been. I like seeing them afraid because they know they have done wrong and pissed people off. They need to feel that for a while. Maybe it will teach them to act better to American citizens in the future. I doubt it, but seeing them panic when they don't have an entire half dozen or more cops with them to beat down a single person that way is nice. It proves they would not like a crowd of people beating them down like they enjoy doing. They like to gang up and beat down a single person. In other words, it proves that they would not like to be on the receiving end of what they dish out.
