Of course the lamestream (mainstream) media wants to spin this selfless act into something ugly.

Yeah but no sound. Maybe the homeless man insisted the peanuts be thrown at him to make him feel more comfortable (because the homeless are used to having things tossed at them).

the homeless guy seemed to enjoy the peanuts, what is the officer supposed to do, gently place the peanuts in the mans mouth? The man was cuffed and could not feed the peanuts to himself, and the only other alternative would be a pig style peanut trough and that would be degrading. I saw the officer did no wrong, and if anything was kind in sharing his delicious nutricious snack with the criminal bum

It's sick the way we're so quick to vilify our public servants.

The guy's an inveterate criminal, guilty of such heinous crimes as finding a place to sleep out of the rain and continuing to sleep out of the rain after the police told him not to. He richly deserves to be treated this way.

Blaming unions for this is really dumb. A union is morally and legally obligated to take your side on issues like this. Just like a criminal defense attourney has an obligation to defend the people that pay him so does a union have an obligation to defend the people that pay it. Part of that defense is ensuring an investigation into serious incidents takes place even if that investigation will likely end up being a formality, and because such investigations are also required when they are not a formality they have to be conducted while a person continues to be employed, and as police as salaried workers at least in part this means paid. Lots of cops do indeed get fired or forced to "retire" from situations like this, many others are removed to some part of policing that is away from public interaction which work they generally strongly dislike, etc.

With that said it is probably not a good idea to entice a homeless man to grovel for peanuts.

if this was albuquerque police they would have interpreted him going to the floor peanuts as an act of agression, shot him 50 times, then tasered him, then pepper sprayed him, then read him his rights
