How the hell are cops supposed to control things? Hand out milk and cookies?
I saw nothing at all wrong with what the cops did. How could the cop know if he was disabled? Should he guess that and catch a blade?
He should have beat the guy harder, when more people were around; show what happens when you fuck with the cops.

It’s all smiles and sunshine when it’s somebody else with the boot across their neck.
For once, I would like to see people not jump to conclusions and let the situation play out. Everyone seems to know exactly what went on from viewing a video and reading/listening to others. I’m not defending the cop or the alleged victim, because I don’t know exactly what happened. News reports are still sketchy.
All I know is that I saw a cop rough up a suspect on a video. The suspect’s lawyer claims he did nothing wrong (which is what a lawyer is supposed to say) and some lady who had been arrested by the same cop says he should be fired. Is this enough to draw an informed conclusion? Let it play out.
Last week, an off-duty cop got shot and killed in Bed-Stuy. Guess who is all over the news before any of the specifics of the shooting came out? That’s right, Al Sharpton, claiming that this was an unjustified homicide. Chuck Rangel gets on and says the NYPD would shoot Obama if was in the wrong neighborhood (nice). Turns out, the guy was chasing after (at night with gun drawn) someone who had broken into his car and he didn’t heed the cop’s yells to stop and drop the gun. What was the cop supposed to do? What would you do if you were a cop driving through Bed-Stuy at 11PM and saw a guy with a gun chasing someone?

I’m a cop in montreal canada(since 1999), its not an easy job , but i like it a lot. For sure, people and media show stuff on cameras but they just dont know what happenend before the cameras took the take. Was this guy was wanted for something like an armed robbery or another felony?? Was he knowed for being armed, whatever arm he would have. its really easy to judge before knowing the REAL event.
People these days dont care about laws and find it fun to jump on police officers, film it and put it on you tube. Its sooo stupid. But when they get arrested awww its police brutality. But you know what i m ready for all these stupids who wants to try me…They always come 2nd place. My goal is to always come back home after my shift and be with my family(and i still have about 14 years to go)…people are sick nowadays!!

Good! There’s many a problem that can solved with a good swat from a nightstick, across the legs.

Even trolling on an internet forum?

Yes. If a cop cracked me across the legs for trolling, I’d never do it again. But then who’d could be the top troll in here? And without trolls internet forums are BORING!
Socrates, Nietzsche, Headhunter…good trolls one and all.

I’m a LEO. From the perspective of the video, it looks like this cop should lose his job. However we don’t have the totality of the situation. No audio, and nothing but 1 second before the cruiser pulls up.
I’ve been in quite a few fights on the job. 80-90% of all uses of force, the suspect claims police brutality. However, less then 1% are actually found to be illegal. I only say this because so many people on here seem to have a story about how they got beat up or picked on by cops. You guys need to look at the way you acted from a reasonable person’s point of view… too many of you are very skewed in what your thoughts of reality are. I’ve never had to cover for a partner slapping someone around wrongly.
This perception by a lot of the people on the board actually makes me think I’m electronically hanging out with a lot of scumbags. If you go back and read the posts on all these police threads, you guys talk like convicts. Actually I take that back, a lot of the convicts actually know they are in their place based on the choices they made. Most of you post the most ridiculous stereotypical crap I’ve ever seen about people you have never met, and have no clue about.[/quote]
I personally do not think you need video, that guy did not even try to protect himself let alone try to fight back
