Does the officer have a history of abusing his power and brutality? If so, I'd be much more inclined to believe the suspect. Officers who are caught doing this usually fall into two categories: 1)repeat offenders and 2) having a legitimate reason for the attack. But from what I see, he has no history, was dismissed of the assault charges, and his partner's story backs him up. So yea, I'm goiing to have to go with the cop on this one.

And its even easier to have a knee jerk reaction and fire the guy before conducting an official investigation.
That cop shouldn't have gotten 1.6 million, he didn't do the right thing. What he should have done was make the world a better place and shot that dirty fvcking in the face. All you that are against the police officer need to go buy a gun and shoot yourselves.

I seem to have missed the evidence which proves the suspect grabbed the cop by the balls- where is it?
Also, I have a hard time believing a cop would situate themselves over a suspect while handcuffing them in a way that would put his balls in jeopardy- aren't the cops strictly trained in what positions to handcuff suspects?

There was freaking video!!!!!!! He made a very stupid move to hit the handcuffed kid. If an employer doesn't want its employees hitting handcuffed people, especially on tape, they can let him go. If he wants to piss and moan to try and get some of his salary given to him he can whine all day, but not become an instant millionaire.

without clicking the link, I'm guessing this is the compton cop.
if I was on the jury, i would have given him the monetary award just to send a message to Je$$ie Jack$on and the stupid racist protestors that made it such a big media event.

The video neither proved, nor disproved that the kid grabbed his balls. What would you like the officer to do if his balls were grabbed, kindly ask the kid to stop?
How in the hell else would you handcuff a person unless their hands are behind their back, and you have to approach them from behind and be within a reasonable distance (read: quite close) to actually apply the cuffs and still be able to try to stop the suspect incase he tried to flee. It's not a hard scenario at all to imagine, most people just don't do it.

what's to say that it was a painful grab? maybe it was more of a playful grab? then what would you have done?
that said, he didn't deserve that money, definetly not that much anyway, neither did his partner
That kid deserved to get his ass beat.
Not sure how I feel about the $1.6 mil. Re-instatement + back pay w/healthy interest at minimum, but then again after going through all that having his job back is probably the last thing he wants.
I say good for him.
BTW, the next time a black cop beats the hell out of a white kid for assaulting him I'll say the same damn thing.

And should the viewers pay the media for watching it? Let's be reasonable, the media has a responsibility to show that kind of story...
How do you cover a story like that w/o being conveying the cop as racist? That's the story, they are claiming racism!!! Just putting his face in the media and saying "accused of racims" is all it takes to ruin a reputation.

Right, but can you only handcuff someone if you squat your balls onto their hands? Seems like an awfully dangerous position so I have a hard time believing cops would be trained to handcuff someone in such a manner... any resident cops here who have gone through some basic handcuffing training?
How much effort and time do you actually think it takes for someone to backup a foot and squeeze? Read I didn't say squat your balls on their hands, I said you have to be very close. My father is a retired CO and says he can see it happening pretty easily if the Officer is not extremely careful and the suspect wants to try something.
EDIT: And also, it wouldn't be hard for an officer to have to get that close if he had to frisk the suspect (which he should have).

Complete BS. Those cops deserved to be fired. The entire incident was caught on videotape, and while tape does clearly show the cop beating on the handcuffed suspect, it does not show the testicle-grabbing that the cop claims. Pulling out the race card and stealing this jury award from the taxpaying public is beyond outrageous.
