Another case of police brutality??????

I was watching the news on the story about the three county police chase that took place yesterday. Did any one watch this video?

The suspect was running through the field and the K-9 caught him and was biting the guy's arm. Then the deputy runs up behind the guy, who puts his arms up and is already on the ground subdued by the dog. Then, WHAM!!!....The deputy punches the guy in the head and begins to tackle him...end video.

I think this officer should be charged and removed from the force. What do you think?

I did this post a few days ago and there were requests for the video. I searched the local TV news sites and it was not there any more, but I did find it.

Watch the video. After the suspect jumps from the vehicle the police dog gives chase and subdues the suspect. Then comes the officer, the suspect has his arms up with the dog still biting and the officer comes up and punches the suspect in the head.

I can't agree about the police man. The video is from a distance. I did see what looked like a push or a punch. Some people show so much disrespect to officers. Even when they are arresting another person, some people will push and push, which only irritates the men with the badges. I absolutely know for a fact, if I had to put up with some of the crap they do, day and night, I would probably use a gun more often than a dog. A long time ago, all they had to do is say, "Police officer, stop, or I'll shoot." To me, it would be a lot cheaper for all of us, if they could just go ahead and shoot, and shoot to kill, not just wound, so we tax payers don't have to house yet another criminal for life. There is too much danger involved in their jobs. Now it seems like everyone is out to get them at every turn. They shouldn't have to ever lay a harmful hand on these people, but, if they are shot or tazed, then we have to hear about how bad the police are.

The video is from a distance which makes it hard to see. This was not the same view I saw on the news. The view I saw on the news was much closer and you could clearly see the officer punch the guy in the head.

Granted the police to deal with a lot of BS. However this is no excuse for abusive behavior on the part of ANY officer. Officers who behave this way seem to believe they are above the law and the courts allow them to behave this way by not treating them like criminals when they conduct themselves in a criminal manner.

Had an *ordinary citizen been caught on tape punching another person in the head they would have more than likely faced felony battery charges, large fines, classes and even jail. An officer of the law does this and it goes ignored.

Are you aware that there is a much higher rate of spousal abuse and alcoholism in law enforcement officers than in the general population.? These officers use abusive behavior on duty and off and are seldom punished.

Oh, yes, nothing like coming home grabbing a brewsky, and beating on the family. Makes for a real relaxing evening. LOL

I know you were being serious. Sorry.

CatsPJs, do you have any idea why that may be true about cops and abuse and alcoholism? Do you think it is because most cops are just bad people? Or could it be because cops take SO much BS all day long everyday from the people they serve, the people they arrest, and the people they work for that something has to give?

As an example, lets say a perp walks up and punches a cop right in the nose breaking it and then runs away. The cop catches the perp a few second later and the perp says, "okay, I give up". You would probably expect the cop to just hand-cuff the perp and haul him to jail.

Well, this is reality, and that is not how things work in the real world. You can't just switch adrenalin on and off like a light. If you have ever been involved in a fight or a life or death situation you will understand this. It goes against human nature and the way we were designed. If you have never been in a REAL fight, then you will have no point of refrence or understanding.

Don't get me wrong, I am not justifing police brutality. I am only offering a possible reason why cops may, in the heat of passion (as they like to say in court) hit shove, punch, or thump a dirt-bag that they have just finishd chasing and are pumped full of adrenalin.

Civilians "get off" on charges all of the time with the heat of passion defense.

eye4eye, I have been in those situations in my life and am very well aware of the adrenaline rush. I also am aware that a person has to be responsible for their own actions and control their own actions and behaviors. Putting up with BS is no excuse. For instance....I have to deal with a lot of BS from the redtard who happens to father my children. However, just because he is a major JA doesn't mean I'm going to take it out on my children. Sure, statistics say that the abuse and chemical dependancy rate amongst police officers is directly related to the job, but if you can't find an appropriate means to release that stress, anger, adrenaline, then you have no business in the field.

That reminds me......

Big, dumb, slightly house broken/used redtard free to ANY home. Absolutely NO returns!

LOL!

I dunno, I watched this as well, If that boy had not started walking away, they would have had no reason to get on him like that, he started this himself.

Yes he did but that is not a reason for the officer to punch the guy in the head. He was already subdued by the dog and had his arms up in the air when the officer came up and punched him in the head.

Okay, let's through a "what if" in here just for the hack of it:

CatsPJs, What if the stolen car he fled in was yours that he took after raping you or your daughter (or son) and leaving you or them for dead someplace? Would it be ok to thump him then?

And what if he ripped her fingernails out with super glue and duct tape, while eating a donut? Huh, Kitty! HUH???

I'd beat my wife too, if I had a job like that. Just reading this makes me angry! She's gonna pay!

LOL!@north

Okay eye4eye, let's put another "what if" out there......

What if you got a clue and stopped defending police brutality.

In your bio you say you are about justice and yet you defend and excuse police brutality. Where is the justice in punching someone in the head after they have been subdued AND have their arms up in the air. It's not like the guy was trying to fight the officer at this point.

Here's another "what if"...what if YOU stole my car? Once you are caught and are clearly giving up, would it be okay for me or an officer to come up and beat the snot out of you? I bet not. I bet at that point you would no longer be screaming that it's okay to brutalize a suspect or use unnecessary force.

The cops take stolen vehicles very seriously. Someone stole a car and switched the plate with my husbands. A cop stopped behind him ran the plate (just for the fun of it). Can you say "felony stop"? Guns drawn...back up called for...face down in the middle of 436. They said sorry, and that was enough. The cop said car thieves usually make a run for it.

Just wondering if he had done something to aggravate the police, aside from running.

CatsPJs,

I asked you the "what if" first which you never answered, and you missed the whole point. But, I will answer yours. If I committed a crime and then made a cop put down his coffee and doughnut and chase me, YES, I would both expect and deserve to get thumped. And if it was you car that I stole, you wouldn't be complaining about a little incidental contact.

As for the guy having his arms up and surrendering....perhaps the cop was ordering him to lie down and he was not complying. I don't know because I was not there and I could not hear what was being said. Being a Monday morning quaterback and getting to watch a "Gods Eye View" video over and over again in slow motion makes second guessing a cop who has a split second to act pretty easy. Hind sight is always 20-20. Fact is the dirtbag brought it upon himself when he stole the truck. I bet the trucks owner is not complaining about the perp getting thumped, and I bet that you wouldn't either if you were the victim. That was the point of my "what if". Besides, that is probably the worst punishment the perp will get. They will release him from jail in short order and he will probably steal a car from the jails parking lot to drive home.

As I said in my first post, I am not justifying police brutality only trying to show you another point of view.

And yes, slgps, I think that is enough!

I agree neye4neye. We weren't there. The guy broke the law, and eluded the police. He caused harm to inocent people with his reckless attitude, and inability to take his punishment like a man!
