Just another day of the cops protecting the people:
And what happened to this cop? 250 pound Anthony Abbate beats the daylights out of a 125 pound female bartender because she refused to serve him due to his drunkenness? He got a slap on the wrist. And oh yeah, the video forgets to tell us that he already had a DUI arrest AND he beat a man to death who was in his custody while he was on the clock as a police officer.
UPDATE: I am told he has finally been relieved of his duties.
Why are these guys held in such high esteem? What if a regular Joe was caught on camera doing this?

It’s a good thing Murray Rothbard was not in that bar.
UPDATE: Abbate asks for his job back, wanting a “second chance.”
