Phoenix AZ Cop yells "I'm gonna put a f*ing cap in your f*ing face" to mom & dad, in front of kids, who "stole" a doll. Your thoughts (see details)

Huffington Post article

Here’s the headline:

Chilling Video Shows Cop Aiming Gun At Black Family After Girl, 4, Takes Doll From Store

ā€œIā€™m going to shoot you in your face,ā€ a Phoenix officer shouts at a couple in front of their two children.

(Umm, that’s not what I heard him say in the first 30s of the video)

I couldn’t watch the video past 45s; maybe I’m not getting the whole story, but I felt like vomiting, so I had to stop. What are your thoughts? Was he right? Wrong? Right in principle but carried out badly? Does it mean anything to you that he had to have known there were phones everywhere, but he behaved that way anyway? Do you think he should be punished for bad behavior? Or re-evaluated psychologically, like all the careful and constant screening that goes on when cadets are training to become officers? That’s a thing, right? Should he be allowed to continue in his present position? What are your thoughts in general?
