"You fucking Arab!"

Something stinks in Joliet, IL. An officer from the local police force, noticed a van parked on the driveway of Kuldip Singh Nag's house with expired registration tags. The officer instructed Nag, a Sikh, to move the vehicle into his garage. The van was inoperable, and Nag had the audacity to point out that on his private property, he could actually park the van wherever he wanted to -- including his driveway.

According to Nag and his wife, what followed was bizarre. The officer pulled out a can of pepper spray, sprayed Nag in the eyes, then proceeded to beat him with his baton, while yelling, "You fucking Arab! You fucking immigrant, go back to your fucking country before I kill you!" Nag stayed in the hospital a few days to recover, after suffering head injuries, bruises and temporary blindness.

Now clearly, something is just not right here. Even I'm having a hard time believing this. But I can't see the motivation for the cop to do what he did. WTF? Even if Nag was asking for it -- police brutality? And the words? True? Actually, after reading about similar police brutality episodes -- and seeing the clips first hand on YouTube, maybe this bizarre episode did happen. But how stupid of a cop do you have to be to pull this one off? Was an episode of America's Stupidest Cops being filmed at that moment?

To make matters worse, Nag is a bronze star vet of the US Navy, who served his country during the first Gulf War.
