Rosenthal, who monitors police internal investigations, maintains that Sparks and Murr are unfit for the force because they didn't tell the truth about the April 4, 2009, incident. Rosenthal also believes the use of force by Sparks was excessive. The Denver City Council earlier this year agreed to pay $17,500 to settle a federal lawsuit brought by DeHerrera alleging excessive force

I think this merits a serious letter of reprimand, don't you? One that should stay on his permanent record for at least three months. I am sure he was provoked by a non-genuflecting attitude or just had a bad day. It could happen to any cop... and frequently does. It is unfortunate this time he just happened to get caught on video. Hopefully the guy with the camera gets life.
