Based on his known racial rants of misjudgments, his self-importance and his lack of media responsibility, Belling meets the definition of "THUG".
According to Dictionary.com, a thug is defined as: a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer.
His comments are cruel and vicious. He seems to have a fetish for bullying - overbearing comments.
According to the definition, the city of Milwaukee law enforcers that failed to provide customer care could also be called THUGS by the definition.
The difference here is Belling and the police are not dead.

THIS IS A MILWAUKEE JOURNAL PHOTO OF Derek William (deceased) and daughter Ta'nijah Williams, now 3years old.

The video does not show Williams being arrested or placed in the squad car.
Poulos' initial autopsy report, written in August 2011, includes this note: "Based on the information at the time of this report, the decedent's interaction with police officers included a chase (running) and no physical altercation; therefore, the manner of death is described as natural."
The newly released records tell a different story.
Williams, who had gotten out of jail earlier in the day after being arrested on municipal warrants for loitering, vandalism and assault, fled from police after attempting to rob a couple near the intersection of N. Holton and E. Center streets, according to the reports. He was sweating profusely when police found him hiding behind an overturned card table. Officer Richard M. Ticcioni pulled him out. Ticcioni said he believed rookie Officer Patrick Coe helped him. Ticcioni "ended up on top of Williams with the suspect facing down," according to the reportof Milwaukee police Detective Luke O'Day, who interviewed Ticcioni.
Williams, his hands cuffed behind him, repeatedly told officers he couldn't breathe for at least 15 minutes between the time of his arrest and his death, according to records. He first made the complaint as he lay facedown, Ticcioni pressing a knee across his back, O'Day's report says.
"As soon as he released pressure, Williams began squirming, as if trying to break free, and reached around his right side to his right waistband (while still in handcuffs)," according to the report. Ticcioni worried that Williams was trying to grab a gun and "reapplied pressure with his right knee to prevent any further movement from the suspect," the report says.
Officers then searched Williams. No gun was found.
They got him to his feet, and "Williams immediately went limp," the report says. Ticcioni "laid him on the ground on his back and observed that he was breathing hard."
"He felt Williams was playing games and directed him to stop messing around," the report says.
A few minutes later, as officers Ticcioni and Coe were helping Williams walk toward the car, Coe left Williams' side to move a "for sale" sign that was blocking the sidewalk. When he did, Williams "pulled forward and fell face forward into the grass," the report says.
Ticcioni believed Williams was dragging his feet to make it difficult for the officers to get him to the waiting squad car, the report says.
Once locked in the back seat, Williams continued to say he could not breathe and asked officers to call him an ambulance, according to the squad video and a summary of the internal investigation. Officers Jeffrey Cline and Jason Bleichwehl, who can be heard talking on the recording, told internal investigators they did not hear Williams ask for an ambulance, the summary says.

Wonder how he - Mark Billings or the officers would feel, manhandled, unclothed, "handcuffed" and deliberately allowed to die of a lack of oxygen and/or - no regard? We are talking about human/civil/legal rights here.
It is not only bad taste, given the horrid history of Milwaukee police and how important it is for ALL-OF-US to respect each other's right to life.
In my opinion, this would not have happened to a Caucasian, and if so, it would of been truly an "accident" - not as Mr. Derek William, by design death.
We are talking about human/civil/legal rights here.
NO ONE, should be treated like this.
It does absolutely nothing for "racial relations" and respect for the city of Milwaukee Police Department - individuals hired to serve all - respect all; not execute our citizenry.
We are talking about rights and laws here.

When once a certain class of people has been placed by the temporal and spiritual authorities outside the ranks of those whose life has value, then nothing comes more naturally to men than murder.
Simone Weil
Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse that he does so in uniform: he only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Every unpunished murder takes away something from the security of every man's life.
Daniel Webster
