Two police officers in Georgia were fired Thursday, less than 24 hours after cell phone videos surfaced of them punching and kicking a motorist in handcuffs.

and their dash cams are running and they still punch and kick the guy.

Get them off the force for being so damn dumb.

I should say ex-cops, and they should be prosecuted.

Never read the comments.

But I'll be interested to see when this is picked up by other outlets that do have comments sections to see the explanations from the "cops are never wrong" segment. The clip I saw had the young man standing next to his car in the opening of the driver's side door, both hands well over his head when Officer Friendly clocked him with an overhand right.
