Cop kicking runner in head..

[eclipse-gs-t]

Well I haven't been arrested as an adult but I think that guys is a Fu**ing PIG. I understand being in fear of your life and that what he did was stupid but I have dealt with a lot of power tripping cops and I think how they use their power is crap. I am a law biding citizen and I hate thieves. Also if I saw this happening down the road I live on, where my children play, i would be pissed. But that is where I would act like an adult and speak against him in a court of law. If a PIG like this kicked me in the head I would get up and beat the shit out of him. That is why we have court and jail. A cops job is to get a suspect from point a to point b not make judgment and punish somebody by kicking them in the head. And the reason cops get into so much trouble for this is because of cops who think they are a bad ass and beat people who haven't even done anything because of their race or where they live. It's crap! Leave punishment to the judge.

I am with you bro!!!!

I noticed that you live in Tennessee, it seems like all Police in the south have this problem.
I know because I'm from Texas.
But, Police up here are generally very polite and just do their job.
I've never seen them as to be racist or "stereotyping".


Just watched the video again. At the very end the Cop with the K9 grabs the guys foot, to make the dog bite him!

That prick got less than what he deserved! As many people as he put in danger by being such a douche he deserves to burn in a fiery car crash of his own doing (of course without hurting anyone else). Now that police officer is going to get in trouble for putting a knot on the dude's head. If he came barreling down my street like that then ran into my back yard he'd be lucky if the cop got to him before me because I'd put a .40 to his head, not a foot. Then the cop would have to kick me in the head I guess.

The guy is a douche, completely, im not arguing with that at all, you cant run from the police and not expect reprecusions. But how is the cop better than the criminal now, treating another human being like garbage, not his job. To protect the public is his job. and the criminal was subdued. Cops make the choice and are trained to be put into these dangerous situations, and maybe it did scare him, but that is still no right to act in such a manor. I personally would want both the crimal and the cop of the streets. Iv been ridiculed by cops because of where i come from, and that is just small in comparison to what happened here, it encourages anger and despise of police. That being said, i still respect the job that they do and accept that it is all nesscery. Kicking a man in the head why he is on the ground is a dog shot. No matter what circumstances.

A lot of dumb comments in this thread.

Police officers exist to enforce the law, not judge those in violation of it.

If any of us saw a guy running from our house with our stuff and kicked him in the head, depending on the damage he suffered, we would be arrested for assault all the way up to attempted murder or murder.

You cannot ever, be justified to use excessive force. If no deadly force was used against you, you cannot use it back. The cop did not have any legal grounds to kick someone to a part of their body that could cause deadly damage. I hope both the idiot who ran and the moron cop who didn't do his job get everything coming to them.

IMHO the cop was in the right hell might have saved me a lot of trouble when i was younger if a cop would hit me instead of just taking me to get my wrist slapped in the court

 

[Deriche]

deserved the kick, but shouldn't have done it
law states no cruel or unusual punishment...


just a thought...but doesn't the cop look like he's doing a goal kick...

 

[xsboost]

My first thought was that the guy got what he deserved. I see the validity in the points that were maid about the police officer going outside his legal limits and now that I've looked at it again and rethought it, I completely agree. I still believe the guy deserves anything that he would have gotten in prison, and maybe to even burn in a fiery car crash, but it's not the officer's job or right to decide. I saw on the news today that the guy is trying to get all his charges dropped because of the police brutality. If that happens then a wanted gang member who obviously doesn't care about the well being of others is going to be back on the streets all because of stupid decisions made by the officers. Aside from an ethical standpoint, this is why police officers can't just make these decisions on their own, because they run the risk of putting these morons back on the street where they could endanger innocent people. Oh yea, what this video doesn't show is the police officers hitting him after he's subdued. All that's been cut out.

You're missing the point. It is not the job of the officer to excute a punishment based on his own judgement. They are to only use as much force necessary to detain the suspect. If we allow this, then how far will the next cop go and how bad will his judgement be.

That said.... he deserved it.

Wasn't much of a kick, sort of a bi*** kick On the other hand, we don't want the police to get to the point of doing what they do in Brazil. Where if your robbing a bank, although a horrible crime, the cops conveniently load you up in a police cruiser, execute you, and get away with it. Or executing homeless children (street kids) as a matter of policy because they are a nuisance to society.

I'm all for a fair trial by jury, but then taking them out back and shooting them for such an offense.

 

[tenn-gsx]

The cop was wrong but at the same time that kick was probably the worst punishment the guy will get or would have gotten even if he didnt get kicked. Auto theft is a bug problem that the justice system cant get ahold of because of the lack of room in the system for petty car theft. Everyone here calling the cop a pig needs to think about it for a second. If he has a habit of doing crap like this then yea he is a piece of crap. However......... He just went throught the most stressful thing that cops deal with aside from a shootout. You all bagging on this cop without actually knowing anything on the officers history need to think about this. Lets say your a soldier in Falluja and were just in the biggest shootout of your life. Now your clearing the building and everyone is lying still and appears to be dead. Suddenly one guy starts moving like he is going for a gun or a bomb trigger. Would you shoot him without waiting for a explosion or a rifle muzzle to come out? I know I sure as hell would. I know its not the same thing exactly but Im using that as an example of houw the immediate situation preceding what you see on video can cloud a persons judgement and make them lash out on someone who put them in that situation.

Do I think the cop was right? No not at all. Do I understand why it happened? Yes. I think the cop shouldnt get into too much trouble unless he has done similar things in the past.

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

How do you compare this to a soldier in Iraq? It makes no sense, I can see a soldier doing what he had to do but there was no shootout here and the guy surrendered clearly showing both hands. This cop went through basic shit that can't even be compared to shit that the armed forces go through over in those shithole countries. He went to police academy for a reason, and his judgment here was clearly off; shit it was WAY OFF.

 

[pboglio]

The problem is, if it were up to the cops things could get out of hand. And not for some guy in the inner city, but maybe in your fancy middleclass neighborhood where your not used to the cops abusing your precious rights. Violent people will always find an excuse to act violently, simple as that. Police have a difficult job, but it' not professional to mistreat a prisoner who is prostrated on the ground waiting for arrest.

I second that
The kick was uncalled for and should be handled my his boss..I understand he was going by the moment(fast paced) but at the police academy they teach you hold your cool and do the right thing. This was not the right thing, a knee to the back yes a kick to the face NO. Its alwasy funny how it take three cops to arrest one person who has surrendered and has been kicked in the face. Cops like this give GOOD cops bad names.
People wonder why some people don't TRUST/like cops.

This could happen to anybody, you get pulled over becuase they think your car is stolen and has evaded other cops(same make and model) and you are laying on the ground with hands out and he kicks you in the face or balls. How would you feel ? Some cop trying to look good and impress the others. How quick will your opinions change?

Why so we can leave him the possibility to get into a struggle with the cop and he can grab for the gun on his service belt?

His gun was drawn so why the kick? As we all see it he was laying on his chest with hands out NO GUN or WEAPON. So why the kick?

 

[EDM95]

Because he is a d!c* man. What I don't know is what if he broke the guys neck what would happen then huh?WTF

 

[xioca]

I was talking about how you said it took 3 cops to put cuffs on him. The reason he kicked him because HE WAS AWESOME!

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

How the #### you have your gun drawn and the offender is already in the arresting position, no resisting, making your job so much easier and you still blazed your steel toe boot into someone's head? This cop is a pig and I'll keep saying it over and over.

 

[tenn-gsx]

The comparison is in the stress level. A highspped chase is just as dangerous as a shootout. Im in the military and I have been in a couple situations that put me in extreme danger of getting killed. I also have found myself near prisoners who were already captured and restrained. I wanted to kick them in the teeth even though they probably werent even the ones shooting at my fob or launching rockets at my tent. Had I came across one of them right after I had been shot at there is a pretty good chance I wouldnt have been able to restrain the urge to kick them in the teeth. Say what you want but when your put in a situation that endangers your life you have a tendancy to want to get back at the one who creates that situation.

EDIT: Had this been the military apprehending a fleeing suspect terrorist I bet atleast half of these guys screaming pig wouldnt even have a problem with it.

Ok, so stop contradicting yourself then. Like, you just said, YOU had the restraint to not go at someone's mug after a shootout because that's what you were trained to do especially in a more intense situation than this PIG was in. So don't you think he was trained to be in intense situations also and was instructed while in training to be able handle it? To not kick someone in the head? Knowing that he can get in trouble for it?

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

This reminds me of the other situation where this douche of a cop pulled over the football player and went on a power trip even after he was told that the guy's mother-in-law was dying. Right in front of the damn hospital! Even after hospital staff verified with the cop that his mother-in-law had 5 minutes to live? He wouldn't let the guy go and so she died before he got there...all because he ran a red light trying to be with her before she died? The guy stopped, made sure no vehicles were present and then went through the light like any law abiding citizen would do if your family member was dying....####ing pigs I tell you. I have nothing against good cops, and those are the only ones I personally know, play ball with and reason with but the pigs that abuse people and have no logical judgment are the ones that annoy me.

 

[tenn-gsx]

I didnt contradict myself. I also said that if i had come across them right after or during the attack I probably wouldnt have had the restraint. Its called adrenalen, it makes you more apt to react without thinking about it. Your more prone to impulse actions when you have a ton of it running thorugh your blood. Im not saying that the cop was right in what he did. Im saying that I understand why his better judgement may have slipped. Again though. This is assuming he dont have a history of these type of incidents. If its happened before then he needs to be relieved of his position.

 

[Trav83]

He deserved it. That guy put innocent peoples lives at risk, but because he 'surrendered' he thinks the cops should go easy on him? Pfff I don't think so, count your blessings your still alive pal.
