Brown-on-black police beating caught on tape - oops

Was this a setup?  You watch the video and decide:

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the city is about to pay a pretty large settlement to Mr. Holloway...and that he'll suddenly have 'friends' he never knew he had before.

I grew up in Passaic and it's a travesty what it has become.
The former Mayor and a Councilman are currently serving federal prison sentences for corruption.
The cops and court system there are a complete mess.
Tough place to live but worse when racism and corruption are the law of the land.
That same cop in the video beat up a woman a year ago with no charges filed against him.
I can't tell you how many clients over a period of 16 yeas have told me that the Passaic police reported taking much less money from them than they really confiscated during an arrest.  The rest ends up as "pocket money."
Most of the cops there are good honest people but they have too many that are bad apples.

the female police officer was way out of line asking him to zip up his jacket...that's what started the whole thing....it was none of her business how he was dressed as long as his pants werent at his ankles..but that male officer is obviously suffering from some form of traumatic stress....

this is a big time example of the police brutality that we have been seeing for years now...it's just that there are cameras all over the place to catch it in action...before, no one would believe blacks when they would report stuff like this was going on..
