I wish I could caveat this post in some way, but I can't - what you've posted is retarded, and if you seriously believe this bullshit you're an idiot who belongs in China, not the United States. I can't believe people have such low expectations of their police - I for one expect them to act like professionals and use their brains rather than acting based on personal pride.

I don't give a crap whether she talked trash to the cop for the entire ride back to the station - that is COMPLETELY irrelevant to what happened here. No amount of verbal provocation justifies the use of force by police.

I knew someone would post this or something similar to it. It was unnecessary, as I quite obviously disagree. Respect the police. When they take you in custody, know that they will kick your ass if you aren't meek as a little mouse. If you don't do ANYTHING to provoke them then they should be subject to the regular punishment for excessive force. If it can't be proven conclusively that you did anything to provoke them (even if you did) they should be subject to the regular punishment for excessive force. I'm not advocating widespread police brutality here, just that people know to shut their traps when taken into custody.

I agree the cop should be disemboweled in front of his family, making them watch and then letting a pack or ravenous wolves eat it all up afterwards. Sound a little excessive? Well yeah it is, but then so is beating up a 15 year old girl for flipping a shoe at that pussy cop. He probably blows his partner during breaks.

What does his family have to do with it? I'd tell you what I think of you, but I'd be promptly banned.

Just making a point here about going off the deep end needlessly, kind of like your post.

In /my/ police force the rules of engagement would be clearly spelled out. The punishment for violating those rules would be equally clear....

The "rules of engagement" are clearly spelled out. Apparently you're missing the fact that the officer is being charged with assault.

An assault charge isn't harsh enough... It seems you didn't get my point. The main crime that happened there wasn't assault :^/

You thought my post was going off the deep end? You don't spend much time here, do you?

You think there's not going to be a civil rights lawsuit?

I don't care what the law says, if it can be determined conclusively that you talked shit to a cop before he kicked your ass, the cop should be absolved of guilt.

I will reiterate - you are a moron who doesn't deserve the freedoms that accompany being an American citizen.

Agreed. Fucking douchebag, hope he gets his ass handed to him in court and loses his job. We don't need fuckwits like that on the Police force. :|

while i am glad (frankly amazed) that he is being charged. i am still doubtfull he will get any kind of punishment. i supsect at most he will get probation and be docked a months pay from work.

where he should be fired and serve some jail time.

I don't think he's going to be keeping his job.

I have to agree with Dr Pizza. The occasional cop doing some dirty work is good. America is pretty pussified along with a growing population of irresponsible people. Get a DUI, have your lawyer take care of it while you go out with some friends and come home to a clean sheet. Push some weight, get hemmed up and then your right back out dealing again. I live in a pretty rough county with a lot of the thugs and criminals that think jail time is nothing - a slap on the wrist. Actually some of them view going to jail as a badge of honor! I'm not sure where you guys live but come to Baltimore around New Orleans Street/JHMI, or my neck of the woods in Laurel, MD and catch a glimpse of what goes on. America needs to toughen up because criminals and thugs have while the rest of society has just pushed them to the side and to the back of our minds.

Why the fuck would I want to do that? I've worked hard so that I don't have to live in a shit hole like that.

How exactly is beating up a 15 year old girl helping to reduce crime or toughen up Americans?

Wow...you sir are a moron. If a cop can't control his temper and take a few insults he shouldn't be wearing a uniform. You can't beat people into respecting you. You have to earn it...even if you're a cop. Hell, especially if you're a cop.

 

[lifeobry]

He needs to lose his badge and go to jail. That was disgusting.

I read the thread, then watched the video. Holy fuck, how can anyone say that the cop was correct? I liked how at the end, the cop walks in and looks at the wall where he bounced her head off of it. Wonder if he was looking for blood?

How the hell is her kicking a shoe off equal to 3rd degree assault and his beating and battering her equal to 4th degree assault?

Because all you see is that little snipet of video. You don't see everything that lead up to it. But good job on swallowing the 60 seconds of video to make an informed decision.

Both sides will have their day in court and until then we cannot truly judge. I find it rather funny that jpeyton posted this just 10 minutes after the AP article. It's like he is on some anti-cop mailing list or something.

You really deserve to be the victim of police brutality sometime. I'd like to see what you'd say to defend yourself.

 

[Kwatt]

On a completely side note/question.

How long will it be before we have to avoid video's of inmates using the toilet ?

I did not even know they were allowed to place cameras in that position.

don vito is right. bottom line - if this was an altercation between two regular people on the street, the police officer would be charged with assault (i'm not sure what degree). the fact that it was a police officer that committed the assault makes it worse.

 

[maziwanka]

and to those who say we don't know what she did before - it doesn't really matter. the officers were in control of the situation at the time she was being taken into the cell. the police officer's actions in the video were ridiculous

 

[Agentbolt]

This is interesting, it must be quite the dilemma for the reactionary ATOT Douchebags who think that A) You can't ever ever ever hit a woman and B) Police officers are infallible, untouchable heroes who never ever ever do anything wrong.

I'm assuming that little mental battle going on is the explanations for Spidey's self-immolation in this thread.

Why are you quoting my earlier post? I know what I said. I DO deserve the freedoms that accompany being an American citizen because I abide the law and I certainly don't get smart with the police. I would have nothing to fear in this hypothetical world where the police have a freer hand in dealing with people who give them grief.

Do you actually plan on talking shit to an officer? Why would you do that? It can't be just to vent, because that would get you nowhere anyway. You're better off staying quiet and awaiting your day in court. People who don't have the sense to do that deserve what they get.

Damn he sure beat her ass good. That cop is a good fighter. He should go into the UFC.

I quoted your earlier post to deny you the opportunity to "clarify" by saying something more reasonable.

I have no intention of "talking shit to an officer," because I have a brain in my head. The same brain tells me that it's totally unacceptable for a police officer to use physical force toward a suspect, based only on the fact that the suspect has been verbally abusive. Being a police officer is a stressful job, and in order to deal with it, a person has to be mature and ablte to keep a cool head in a tough situation. Any officer who beats a suspect based on verbal abuse is a criminal and doesn't deserve to keep his job.

Your "hypothetical world where the police have a freer hand in dealing with people who give them grief" is one fthe Founding Fathers would not recognize - it has more in common with China or Saudi Arabia than our country.

wow, go suck a dick.

she got arrested for trying to steal a car and was being locked up. that's called justice. beating the fuck out of a 15 year old girl is disgusting.

 

[Deadtrees]

If a cop control his temper over a 15 year old girl who wasn't behaving, imagine what he could do during his carreer.
Had he thrown shoes back at her, I'd understand as he was having a bad bay or something. However, kicking and punching a 15 year old girl in his playground? That just means that he's not capable of doing the job and he should pay for his retarded action.

Those who claim that humans are just humans and things like those are bound to happen, do you do that kind shit when a 15 year old girl misbehaves?

There's nothing quite like knocking around a 15 year old girl that makes you feel like a real man.
