The Officer's Bill of Rights

It seems that in most cases where cops rough up a suspect/victim the standards battery of charges includes, resisting arrest, public intoxication, and usually something along the lines of "interfering with a police investigation." I really doubt anyone can say this incident involving two highway patrolmen severely injuring a frail Russian truck driver who "wouldn't sign a ticket"  is an example exemplary or professional law enforcement. On a personal note, I've never been beaten by California Highway Patrolman, but I can say that many of them are belligerent assholes. My favorite bit of information comes at the very end when the CHP spokesman says he can't disclose if the officer in question was subject to an internal affairs investigation, punishment or retraining because it would violate the "Officers Bill of Rights."
