the whole point of their job is to have special privileges, under certain circumstances they are allowed to do that, hence the investigation. treat the same = arrest all cops for carrying weapons? makes no sense.

read the last sentence in my post, im talking about the unnecessary force that the cop used and all the other incidences where unnecessary force was used.

Some how I didnt know that part of the commands were " down on your stomach or I ll boot you in the face hard and make you bleed "

Near the end of the video why was person shooting the video be able to be up so close without being told to stay back?

Meh.

Nothing will come from this.

Cop will lawyer up ( on tax payer's dime )
Lawyer will drag this out for 2+ years in court.
Courts will end up dismissing charges (if any are laid ) due to time elapsed from assault to verdict.
Cop will be on full pay during this time.
Cop will get written reprimand.
Cop will back on the job like nothing happened.

I know, straight BS. That cop should get 15 lashes for that stunt.

Fuck the Police

if you look really closely it looks like the cop barked orders for suspect to get on the ground, and I guess the suspect didnt move fast enough for the officers liking prompting das boot, good movie btw

but at the same time it's common sense anytime you're dealing with cops, especially when you got a gun pointed at you to do everything calmly and fairly slowly so the officer clearly sees what you're doing and has time to react accordingly. I would honestly rather take a boot to the face than make a speedy gesture that might get me shot.
But this guy's situation, basically the cop put him in one where he couldnt win, and that's not doing your job well as a police officer.

lol cops are basically their own street gang

except they got the government feeding them cake

watching videos like this isn't even suprising anymore..better do exactly what they say, the second they say it, or you are laying it all out on table for some really nasty consequences. Anyone remember the father who got his face shattered by a police steel baton at some GM place riot, because he was crossing the street to get away from it all and a cop wanted some action?

QFT. And people ask me why I'm very short to anger when it comes to the Police.

Only thing is that he was on disability leave because of head injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident.

cops use excessive force all the time. if this wasnt caught on video. none of us would have known.

If this comment was based upon what I said about how I generally side with the police, that is my own opinion based on my own values and how hard their jobs are to protect and serve while most people criticize them and then turns their opinions 180 degree when they need the police's help.

In this case though, I agree with everyone's opinion that this excessive force. The suspect was on his way to the ground and the officer in question runs up and tries for a field goal with the suspects head.

are you fucking kidding? these videos are all over youtube and the rest of the internet/news. people that side with pigs, probably never had a piggy do anything to them for no reason therefore they don't know why other ppl hate them so much.

I hope that cop gets fired, what he did was absolutely unacceptable and he deserves no second chances whatsoever.

This in becoming more common now-a-days.

Not surprised. Although disappointing to see every time.

im just saying this happens alot more than reported and nothing ever happens to the cop that did it. hell, one of my buddies got his arm broken by one of the VPD's finest not too long ago.

the police are as crooked as the people they say they are against

that was fucking brutal, what a dumbass cop. booting someone in the face while they're already on the ground, not opposing a threat? come on son

was trying to comment on the last sentence.
when alls said and done, given the situation as the cop knows it,

-Shots fired
-Suspect is responding really slow (this is really suspicious for the cop, no?)
-If the suspect showed signs of mental retardness, thats even more scary for the cop. Could be some psychopath on a shooting spree.
-Whats stopping the cop from thinking; "Maybe hes trying to think of a way to draw his gun out and shoot me" I have to get him 'disabled' as quick as i can which called for a kick in the head.
^and i dont know of police protocols but that is why they are having an investigation.

Imagine a black person, a shots fired suspect doing the exact same thing, responding really slow at the cops orders. more justified now eh? (this one could just be the stereotype embedded in my mind due to movies but im sure im not the only one)

Do not bring in the hindsight of him having a permit to shoot guns, and had head injury from a prior motorcycle accident.

It's pretty disappointing to see RS involved in stereotyping police officers. please take your NWA bullshit elsewhere, there are plenty of PO's that actually make an effort to make the city a better place and don't just power trip. 99% of the shit you see online about cops is just police brutality, you are full of shit if you think all cops are just in some elite gang out there to harm or piss off citizens

Wow, pretty retarded thinking. What do you think takes the cop less time and effort to do? Boot a guy in the head if he tries to pull out a gun, or put a clip in him from his handgun??? Duuuurrrrr!!!

damn, im came in here to defend the police officer since i expected this to be like the other
'excessive force' videos, which shows the person being arrested totally deserving the force....

but damn...that come fucked up bad...he should have the book thrown at him without a doubt..

but this doesnt mean all cops are like this guys, there are bad apples in every job, culture, association...etc

I can see how dealing with scumbags day in, day out will turn anyone into a jaded, pistol toting, shit kicker law enforcer.

It's hard...on the one hand you could be alll courteous and 'soft', and one day maybe you'll pay for it when a perp take advantage of that and tries to make a move on you....and on the other hand you can be all POLICE STATE, bootfuck you for breaking the law, and just shitkick everyone in your path who doesn't have a glowing halo floating over their head, and create public distrust - but you're safe, you're comrades are safe, and you all get to go home at the end of the day. What do you do?

just hope that he doesnt get suspended with pay.. that would suck big time..

exactly. bad cops might make up 1% of cops out there... unfortunately the way the media and society work, the bad 1% make 100% of the news.

you dont see videos on youtube and threads on revscene about cops endangering their lives raiding drug houses, or pulling drunk drivers off the road, or anything positive unless its some Hollywood type swat operation.

well this guy will be getting a nice settlement
