Raging police officer: Thank God he doesn’t have gun

We have thank God for small mercies. The fact that this particular officer did not cause blindness or any other serious injury to Black driver Leon Fontana is a minor miracle. The video footage shows the officer getting so upset and angry because Fontana wants to prove he’s got all legal documents from inside the car, he begins to smash in the windscreen in a frenzied attack.

Little wonder why the Fontana was reluctant to get out the car.

In the video the officer explains that he would like him to get out the car so that he doesn’t drive away, but Fontana takes the key out of the ignition places it in full few on top of the dashboard,  and then  explains to the officer that he cannot now drive away. The officer acknowledges that on his radio, -'he's taken the key out of the ignition', but still proceeds in endangering the driver’s life by brutally smashing the screen.

Leon Fontana had all his legal documents and had done nothing wrong. Given the psychological  disposition of the officer, we can only wonder what would have occurred if he had a gun at his disposal.

Astonishingly, new footage of the same officer is filmed harassing and arresting another Black man Kyle Adair Whyte whose motorbike had broken down. The video shows the officer telling the Black, that ‘I think you’ve stolen this so I’m arresting you.’

He is now being investigated for both events but has not been suspended by undertaking other police duties. Let’s hope he's not dealing with Black people, or any members of the public.
