An innocent man pushed over by a police officer in Seattle has been left in a coma. The man had been wrongly identified as a suspect in an assault. Sky's Mark Stone reports.

2. The video doesn't show him "running" . . .
unless you call "bracing yourself for impact" running.

The cop should be prosecuted.

5. Yeah
For instance, I lost all respect for CNN when they sent out a breaking news bulletin on how Ashton Kutcher beat them to a million followers on Twitter. They have no sense of priority or urgency or on sound journalism. They've lost a lot of credibility as a respectable organization.

8. Karma is a bitch.
Here is to hoping there is a lot of jail time in his future. General population would be appropriate.

9. "We dont know why he ran".
...probably out of fear of police brutality.

This bullshit becomes self-fulfilling and reinforcing. The police are thugs, people fear brutality at arrest, people (even innocents) run on instinct, police respond with more violence in response to flight ... repeat...

10. Police never come to work wanting to hurt anybody?
Bullshit. These fucking pigs get off on tossing people around. They can't wait for a confrontation. They get that fucking badge and gun, and they become a menace to society.
