it'd be interesting to say the least.

I believe "in my heart" (for you RW trolls) that this guy 'got off' on manhandling this young girl and kneeling on top of her. With all the kids there to be aware of or to pursue, he returned to her with deliberation and abused her physically - she was clearly unarmed and no threat to anyone...not much room in that bikini for weapons of any variety - and he maintained intimate physical contact with her for as long as he possibly could. Thus, I believe that he had "drawn a weapon" besides his service revolver. I personally find his actions not only reprehensible from a law enforcement standard, but as a male, as a father of a child who could have easily been a victim in a similar situation should it have presented itself. That party, with the exception of the two racist women, very closely resembles summer parties in my neighborhood - if the caption had read "Eastern Main Line of Philadelphia" I would not have blinked.

There's something about this whole story which is transcendental from the "usual" ( isn't that a horrifying concept) abuse by renegade law enforcement individuals. I would only add that I almost couldn't believe that her arm wasn't broken from the force which he used to force her to the ground. That looked as practiced as his barrel-roll.

2. Maybe but if it were simply that

Why didn't he go after what he would perceive under the influence as the Alpha males. He singled out this almost-naked girl. I find that repulsive.

3. Can we drop this myth please?

This guy is just an asshole with other behavioral issues for sure, but not all acts of violence or aggression perpetrated by men are 'roid rage.'

No differences were found between the exercise groups and the no-exercise groups or between the placebo groups and the testosterone groups in any of the five subcategories of anger assessed by the Multidimensional Anger Inventory. No significant changes in mood or behavior were reported by the men on the Mood Inventory or by their live-in partners, spouses, or parents on the Observer Mood Inventory.

This 'roid rage' testosterone myth is no different than saying women get uncontrollably moody and 'psycho' during monthly PMS cycles.

4. Well put.

I was thinking that but hate to start another war with one of my posts.
