Florida police in 'America's meanest city for the homeless' caught feeding a man like an animal

Randy Miller is a homeless man in Sarasota, Florida—once named America's meanest city for the homeless. He was recently arrested for trespassing and while he was detained, video cameras caught the arresting officer, Andrew Halpin, inhumanely treating Miller:
As he was being booked into the Sarasota County jail, an officer tossed peanuts into Randy Miller's mouth as if feeding a dog or an animal at the zoo.
Miller, intoxicated and handcuffed, was unable to catch them with his mouth. Several fell to the ground.
Minutes later, Miller slumped out of his chair and began eating the peanuts off the booking room floor. Sarasota Police Officer Andrew Halpin, who had thrown the nuts at Miller's mouth, kicked them with his boot toward Miller so he could better reach them on the floor.
A source familiar with Miller's July 18 arrest says Halpin was giving the homeless man "dog commands" during the incident.
Officer Halpin is now on paid administrative leave while his actions are investigated.
paid vacation again for the inhumane treatment of hey wait aren't they suppose to protect and serve the homeless too????  i'd like to see the part where it says serve by tossing kibble like to a dog.  everyday the more despicable they become i think the lack of prosecution and jail time and judicial figures supporting their murderous and deplorable acts and getting paid vacations for those atrocities have done nothing but emboldened them.

do they realize the police state they are building across the country will eventually bite them where they are biting victims, take a ticket you will be called when your number is up. despicable them
