Actually, I don't believe the officer was jabbing anybody with that nightstick three times. It was one of those collapsible batons. You have to hit it against a hard surface to retract it, which was what he was doing.

That does not take away from the FACT that this was a dispicable act done by those hired to protect us. I find it hard to believe that this was not excessive force.
