This time in California. I can't imagine the bravery of fighting this man when they only have 8 cops to this one sucker.

Thankfully our Constitutional rights are forfeited when we p*** off a cop! I love America.
Haven't you heard about that new amendment to the constitution? It says "Cops are above the law and if you run from them, you automatically lose all of your rights and they can do whatever they want to do to you".

It's been voted in by apathetic Americans who don't value their rights. People who say "if you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from LE".

And we should hang abusive cops. People who abuse their power are the lowest form of life. They are in the same category as child abusers and animal abusers.

Maybe the TV people faked the video.

Or maybe the internal investigation will lose the video so the abusive cops will be found not guilty.

Or maybe the cops union lawyers will claim their rights were violated since they had to go out into the desert.

Or maybe after several months of investigation the furor will blow over and the public will forget what happened to this bad guy.

There are a lot of reasons why abusive cop defenders want to wait to pass judgement.

Nobody said he was a nice person.

So you think if you are a bad guy then the cops can beat the crap out of you? Eight cops? You like making the cops judge, jury and executioner too?

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.
Yes, you are justifying cop brutality. Do you even read your own words? Abusive cops are abusive cops and sometimes they abuse good people.

Exactly! Most of these tragedies cost the tax payers and the cops get off scott free.

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.
Fired? You are joking, right? They should be prosecuted just like you and I would be if we beat the crap out of somebody.

Amen, Captain Obvious, and I'd add it should be recouped via reduced pensions immediately, with no cap on % of reduction.
