He got off easy...they used to hang horse thieves.
I was thinking the same thing! That horse was so cool. Glad he wasn't hurt during the chase.

In what circumstance could an agent of the government delivering a running kick to the head of a defenseless surrendering person be okay with you?
When was he surrendering? When he took off and drove 140mph through Apple Valley? Or maybe he was surrendering when he stole the horse?
He is the prime suspect in an identity theft ring, which is why the police had a search warrant. He's been convicted for resisting arrest before, and this time he took off in a car and sped away. The chase went on for 3 hours.
This "defenseless person" is a convicted felon. He's been arrested for fighting, robbery, speeding his car down a sidewalk and I don't even want to know what he did to be arrested for cruelty to an animal. How many times do we arrest people and release them back out on the street to prey on society?
I've been called a bleeding heart most of my life, but I'm getting old and growing tired of hearing so much sympathy for these dregs of humanity. The media interviews the families and they always say, "He is such a great guy" or "He was turning his life around" This man is White, so at least nobody is crying racism.
Yes, I agree that the cops were wrong and they should be punished. They could have caused him permanent brain damage or killed him. Still, it is difficult for me to shed one tear for this piece of dirt. Well, at least he's not a child rapist. I can't imagine the type of scum cops have to deal with every day.

Doesn't matter if they were pissed off. LEOs need to keep their emotions in check. They are neither the Judge or Jury. The man's past can give them the mindset of this person, but it does not give them the right to beat the man. The first two need to be brought up on charges and terminated asap without any chance of getting their retirement benefits. The others should be charged accordingly.
And BTW the 3 officers hospitalized, One was kicked by a horse, and two others suffered dehydration.

The guy is absolute scum and the world would probably be a better place without him..................that said, what these police officers did crossed the line, not only did they violate the code of conduct of their office, they basically made this human garbage into a sympathetic figure and likely, a very wealthy sympathetic figure.
They deserve to be fired for their actions and as I said in the other thread, in the end the only one I truly feel badly for is the horse.
Thank God for videotape. Good LEOs should not have to work with those who would have felt more at home as the police in Nazi Germany.
Taped evidence puts the criminal cop in a cage, and concurrently, improves the quality of the force by weeding out those who should never have been considered for employment.
Nearly a dozen California deputies were suspended after a video emerged showing several officers beating a suspect for more than a minute after he was hit by a Taser and apparently surrender.
