Reading something like this makes my blood boil. Seeing it makes me sick to my stomach. Is it an "us against them" mindset on the part of LEO's or are our nation's homeless just fair game?

Cop Assaults Elderly Homeless Man
A video is being shared online of what appears to be a Fort Lauderdale police officer pushing a man to the ground before delivering a vicious slap -- all because the man wanted to use a public restroom.
In the video, which appears to take place at the Broward Central Bus Terminal in downtown Fort Lauderdale, a man who looks to be in his late fifties walks slowly through the terminal while the officer follows behind, slipping on latex gloves. The officer then grabs the man's arm and the man jerks away -- that's when the officer pushes him to the ground.
The man, lying on the ground, shouts "F**k you!" at the cop, to which the cop responds by pointing his latex-covered finger at the man and says, "Relax. I'm telling you right now what's gonna happen. I'm telling you right now what's gonna happen. I'm escorting you out right now."
"I want to go pee," pleads the man.
"You're not going to go pee," the cop answers. "You're not supposed to pee here."
Moments later, the cop reaches back and smacks the man across his face.
The officer then accuses the man of "trying to fight me," which the video clearly shows did not happen.
After placing the man in handcuffs, the cop proceeds to deliver a lecture: "I tell you what to do and you do it. It's that simple," he says.
