The Cycle of Violence: NYC Cop Body Slams Bicyclist

Violence is taught and perpetuated at all levels of society. Our culture, interested in maintaining the status quo of domination and control, reinforces the belief that some "deserve" punishment and others "deserve" rewards. We indoctrinate our children in this system to ensure that they understand that without the rule of law, controlled behavior, and a system of rewards and punishments our "good" girls and boys will automatically turn "bad." Can someone please explain to me, why anyone deserves anything? When I see this video I feel so sad and angry. I wonder what motivated this man to act so violently towards the biker, what need was he trying to meet in his action?
