I have no knowledge of the circumstances in this encounter but the subject of this police abuse could have been having a medical episode. Even if he was'nt this officer's behavior is just counter to basic human decency, IMO.

NJ Transit (a former chris christie patronage pit like all government agencies during his tenure) quite famously here in New Jersey can't even keep enough conductors on the payroll to operate a full schedule of trains - but they found a way to keep this abusive transit cop on the payroll.

Edit to add: Just saw this story on the nightly news here. The woman who filmed the video said her phone battery died but it went on for several more minutes. The cop has been suspended. Full internal investigation by NJ Transit. Nothing on the condition of the victim.
