Cop Orders Unarmed Veteran to Stand; then Shoots Him

Shocking video.

Police brutality, while disturbingly common-place, often has at least some semblance of rational plausibility behind it -- this is just insane. Yeah, the guy's friend (not him) was drunk and speeding, and he was cussing ... but still. I've never seen anything like this caught on videotape. If you're watching this without the sound, you're not getting a full picture. The seated individual complies with the officer's orders to stand, makes no move towards the officer, and is repeatedly shot.

**apparently the officer was cleared of wrongdoing. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19867423/

***the airman survived.
