Only in America : Beat someone up on video and get $1 million

from the bbc

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4190965.stm

a policeman beat up someone while arresting him and it was all caught on camera.. he got the sack but has now been given over 1 million dollars..

there is even a quote from the police chief stating it wasn't a racial thing he was sacked because he had beaten someone up which they police aren't allowed to do

Well he had a valid point it seems to me.Perhaps it might be the case that from now on they will have to treat each and every case on it's individual merits and not according to some tick box on what is or is not a racially motivated case.
