Radley Balko ...

... can really get your blood boiling:

A 66-year-old Melbourne man with dementia spent a month in the hospital after he was violently arrested in October 2011 by officers from the Melbourne Police Department in Melbourne, Florida. The officers who arrested Albert Flowers charged him with battery on a police officer, but a dash-cam video obtained this weekend by WFTV Channel 9 News in Central Florida shows that Flowers did not assault either officer before being kicked in the stomach, punched repeatedly, choked, and Tasered.

You'll have to follow the links to view the video, since it's not embed-able.

One thing I noticed was that, as the officer was trying to gain control of the suspect, there was ample opportunity for a bystander to pull a small handgun and cap the cop in his Brain Housing Group.

I fear that's where we're going to end up.
