I don’t think you guys can straight up say the guy was trying to run over the cop. The stupid fucking cop was running out in front of the on coming van throwing out spike strips… and what do you know, the van is trying to swerve to avoid them. The cop being right there is his own idiot fault. There were cruisers around which could obviously spin the guy out and stop him.

Thank you! I was wondering if anyone else saw the spike strip too or if they were just ignoring it to allow themselves a better argument… “trying to run over the cop”.

While reading comments on this site I sometimes think that people have terrible reading comprehension, but then I see people responding like they have in this thread. I then just realize that they don’t pay attention to detail whether it be words or things right in front of their face.

As most of you have pointed out, cops are humans too, and as such, their attention to detail and judgment is probably just as shitty as most on here. That is why they should never judge someone’s actions and then deal out a “suitable” punishment. We have judges for a damn good reason.

Lastly, I can’t believe any of you said that only the first cop who ran up and the one that punched the guy in the face repeatedly should be fired. The other cops who punched and kicked the guy just a few times are ok because they were just acting out of emotions and probably didn’t do too much damage? Well geez, I hope if I go to Birmingham, Alabama and get pissed off at a guy in a bar I can just punch and kick him a couple of times and not have assault and battery charged against me. Every last officer that hit that man should be fired and have a battery charge against them.

dude. you are engaged in a HIGH SPEED chase with police. it’s unavoidable that they’re going to deploy spike strips. you should know this. but once you swerve towards a police office, you have now just ATTEMPTED MURDER on a peace officer.

you should most certaintly have your face beat in. shit, if you tried to run over me with a car, i would hope you get your face beat in. much less a police officer

It’s complete idiocy to suggest that his beating was justified. Regardless of what he did the police did not serve their role as PEACE officers, they engaged not only in hand-to-hand with a suspect but a suspect who was unconscious.

Control of one’s self in stressful (and high adrenaline) situations is part of a lot of RBSD systems and undoubtedly police training, if they feel that they can dish out punishments as they see fit then they are not doing their jobs properly.

It would be much more understandable if the person was getting ready to fight back, but he wasn’t even concious enough to be submissive. Even if they are “just human” how come the sixth police officer followed procedure, drew his weapon and didn’t attack a defenceless man?

Yeah Lanky, everytime I turned on the TV recently, it seems another cop was killed ITLOD. I live 20 minutes from Philly, so it’s big news here. Didn’t they just name a street after a fallen officer?

Anyway, my agent was a photojournalist back in the seventies, but she quit the day she witnessed a cop being killed in a shootout.

Everytime I go to town or call folks it seems like another dude got killed by a cop on duty. Fuck the police.[/quote]

I notice you didn’t say another innocent bystander got killed by the police, which implies only criminals are being killed. Good, we don’t need more criminals. So fuck you and all your criminal loving friends.

I don’t give a shit if the dude just murdered all those guys mothers. Whether or not the beating of a pwerless man was “justified” is not for the police to decide.

Maybe I deserved it when the cops beat the shit outta me for callin them pussy-ass bitches, maybe not. Either way, it was wrong for them to break my ribs while I was lying face down in the mud with my hands cuffed.

But what do I know, I’m just another criminal scumbag.

If you deserved it, how was it wrong?

Like I said, don’t find yourself on the wrong side of the law.

I didn’t deserve it. That was might point. It isn’t the cops job to render punishment for what THEY believe is a beating-worthy transgression.

And I wasn’t on the wrong side of the law. IThey had me mistaken for someone driving a similar car. You ought not assume so much.

Well, you called them pussy ass bitches, so you were obviously not acting right.

Disregarding that, if you didn’t deserve it then those cops should be fired. The guy in this video obviously did deserve it. Do people not see the clear cut difference? I’m not saying cops should kick the shit out of every guy they pull over and some mistakes may be made, but this was clearly not a mistake. The scumbag in this video deserved this and worse.

Cops shouldn’t hand out an ass whooping unless it is absolutely necessary to GET CONTROL of a situation. That guy in the video was unconscious hence the cops were in control before they threw the first blow. Did they absolutely know that he was unconscious, perhaps, perhaps not; point is it isn’t the cops place to hand out an ass whopping unless absolutely necessary; the circumstances surrounding this particular event did not call for that ass whooping.

To tell you the truth, I believe he deserved what he got too. I would have more than likely done the same thing to him.

I’m just saying that the fact that he deserved it doesn’t make it right.

Are we to allow the police free reign to decide who “deserves” to be beaten up, regardless of what the law says? What a fun world that would be.

93

Erm…maybe because its against the law?

Police aren’t there to be judge and jury, there job is to protect people from criminals and collect evidence so that a judge and jury can decided an appropriate punishment. That’s how the law works in America.

If you want it so police can go around beating you up if you “deserve it” in their minds then I suggest you write your congressman to get the law changed. Don’t think its a good idea personally but your choice. As of right now though what those cops did was illegal.

Yes. Just like anyone else who shows an inability to do their job competently.

96

seeing as he swerved and tried to kill an officer i have no problem with it, to bad they didnt kill the scumbag seeing as he had no problem trying to run over and kill an officer who prolly has a wife and children at home, why do we care so much about the criminal

when people display an inability to value human life, including that of police officers, they deserve to have their shit kicked in.

98

Judges and juries decide punishments. Police officers are not Judges. Police officers are not juries. Why is this so hard for people to understand?

This criminal should spend the rest of his life in jail or be given the death penalty for attempted murder. However, this is not for a police officer to decide. He has not be given that authority by any law in this country. Therefore these police officers are guilty of assault, and if this man had died, they would be guilty of manslaughter.

Why is this so hard to understand?

Man…How far we have come. Makes me feel warm inside.

My problem with this whole argument is that you assume every point, and you do so in such a way that makes the cops out to be saints and the guy getting beat to be the devil. For all we know the guy might have been trying to avoid the spike strips while also trying to NOT hit the cop. Perhaps there was a window he thought he could manuever through which would not harm the officer. He didn’t blast the guy all over the pavement so his intentions of running the cop over and killing him are pure speculation. Secondly, the cop COULD be a complete scumbag with no wife and kids. He could abuse his GF he could be all sorts of horrible. So for you to assume he has a wife and kids and then judge the scenario is not logical.

Also what is all this talk of him driving 90 like it’s some big deal, if it’s on a freeway the traffic is most likley moving at 80 MPH plus. Has anyone here never driven thier car over 80 MPH? over 100?

Again I’ll say this isn’t the worst I have seen, nut it was stupid and they should have been punished. Which they were so whatever i’m ok with the outcome.
