Officer Sharlow attacked the handcuffed person because he didn't like what he said. Sharlow is unprofessional--can't do his job properly, because he lacks the most basic emotional control required for it. His actions could only be construed as "understandable" by someone who is an apologist for police brutality. From the details of the story, the man who was attacked by the police officer had called 9-11--wow, a crime worth getting choked and attacked for?  I bet the EPD is full of these sadists who get paid to get their thrills abusing people. Completely nauseating.
