That cop sounds like a bit of a hard case, agreed. I still think that the university is to blame by empowering cops to perform 'illegal' searches in the dubious search for safety. There is also apparently a culture of permissiveness toward police overstepping their bounds? Obviously officers should be held to higher standards than ordinary citizens.

I'd like to see exemplary sentences in cases of police brutality, if well documented. I don't get from the somewhat frothy coverage whether the student was complying or not. If he was complying reasonably then it's assault. If he was hadncuffed at the time it's aggravated assault and possibly torture, which for a cop should carry, respectively, 20 yrs / life sentence.

Lex, sed lex dura.
