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

what does an 'investigation' entail when you've got video proof of police doing evil bullshit

what is there to investigate.

just watch the video. then you turn and say ''mr police man, you're fired.'

What if there were mitigating circumstances?

like what

there's a video of all the circumstances pretty much

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.
I wish I weren't banned from MSN or I'd have a few choice words for article's comments section.
