Canton’s internal affairs unit has investigated 16 complaints involving Harless dating back to 2000.

He was reprimanded in one 2003 case. Harless and another officer were exonerated of using excessive force, but were given a letter of reprimand for not activating the in-car video camera at the scene per department policy.

The cop is a pretty beefy guy, and he's clearly and irrationally out of control—even toward the end of the video when he's talking to the other officer trying to justify his behavior. I think that by that point, he was becoming aware that he might have behaved poorly and he felt a need to cover it. Classic guilt behavior. A normally well adjusted person would not have felt the need to explain his behavior because he would have instinctively understood it to be appropriate and not in need of any explanation. A normally well adjusted person would not have let his anger get the best of him like that, and a simple "boy, that guy really ticked me off" or a "boy, that guy was a piece of work, wasn't he?" afterword would have been all that any normal person would have felt the need to say.

The other officer was clearly in much better control of his faculties..... although he did good by searching the back seat while the driver was still in the car. Rookies.......
