If this was a "he said / she said" type of thing, sure - give the ex-officer his day in court. But given the audio/video evidence from the dash cam recording system - it's not looking good for the officer. I have the utmost respect for cops, but guys like this have no business "protecting and serving" the public. Respect is a two-way street, and unfortunately for law enforcement, they have to give respect first if they want to get respect back.
