Predator cop?

[NoStateofMind]

Seattle cop is a bit "aggressive" 6 minute video

Cliffs-

Wrongfully identified Kid runs from cop
cop knocks kid into ground and head against wall
kid suffers severe brain damage from injuries
lawsuit gets 10 million
cop allowed to keep job
investigation shows a history of violence from cop
Sheriff acknowledges cops tendencies for violence
Sheriff won't fire cop


Sorry, but to me this is too much. There is a clear tendency for this cop to act violently at every possible incident. IMO he does not exercise restraint on a regular basis but instead violence and I would fire the cop.

don't run from the cops.

 

[waggy]

this guy should really be fired. he is going to kill someone over something because his ego is challenged.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

While I'm not defending the cop in any way whatsoever, who the fuck runs away from a cop?

 

[Farmer]

Don't whack him.

 

[rasczak]

don't run from the cops.

sorry, but you see a fucker like that blindside that guy the way he did, i ain't stopping.

 

[TwiceOver]

$10m isn't going to scratch his care needs.

 

[skyking]

When that kid got slammed, he was no longer running. The officer was set to teach him a lesson with that takedown.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

For every 1 of these that are caught on video there are 99 no one knows about.



Cops have gotten to where you really shouldn't train your kids to automatically trust a police officer. There is almost unlimited power without almost no accountability, and it's getting much worse.

if you don't run, the odds of being roughed up are slim.

why antagonize a cop?

It happened to me. I was miss-identified by a cop. I dealt with it by being calm and having a rational discussion with the officer. It was all dealt with in 15 minutes.

It sounds like he may as well have killed the kid for the amount of brain damage the kid has... looks and sounds like a total meat-head who is a cop so that he has an excuse to beat up on people.

It also doesn't look like the kid was "running from the cops" it looks like he got body slammed while walking down the street...

No, there's not, and you're full of shit. The reality is that for every 100 police encounters every single day in this country, about 99 are non-incidents. Check your facts before you spew bullshit.

EDIT: As for this cop, he should have been charged with excessive force or even attempted murder and locked up. You can tell from looking at him in the various videos that he's a sack of shit and should be fending for himself in prison.

 

[dawp]

That cop looks like he's pumped up on steroids. And it would account for his aggressive behavior.

 

[PingSpike]

Probably roid rage exacerbating an already violent personality.

I'm sorry MarkXIX, but if this happens 1 time out of 100, then thats 100x more often then I find acceptable.

You took a job to protect and serve. I think its pretty obvious that this guy, even after ruining another human beings life, isn't capable of understanding his role in this society.

You don't want anti-cop hate goign on, well the first place to start is the cops themselves. The good-ole-boy mentality isn't going away, and thats fine,but the moment the facts come out and everyone finds out he has 6x the altercations on average, including these two incidents, well the game shoudl be over.

Instead, you get some other idiot cop who comes out and stands up for the douchebag. Here is an idea... Dont say a damn thing. Because there is nothing worse than a cop who is clearly in the wrong, being supported by other cops as well as the law when its obvious to everyone else that there was misjustice. LEOs must be as ever vigilant to police themselves as they are about others.

This.

I had been pulled over plenty of times, didn't really care for it but I always remained calm and courtesy to the cops instead of being "real/hard core/from da street/smart ass/mouth off to the po po". Result: no beat down, nothing but a few tickets.

OTOH, from the article, this cop needs to be off the force, he is a disgrace to the men/women in blue.

while i don't disagree that this cop is a dbag, it is hilarious how whenever there is someone who has muscles and does something with aggression that all of the nerds on this video jump on the steroid wagon.

Please... While riding sportbikes (without going into tons of detail, I'm not the squid stunter like most cops assume) I was pulled over at least once or twice a month for almost 10 years.

In that time period I came to the conclusion that 99% of cops are accidents waiting to happen.. They trust their 'intuition' above all, and will rarely falter from their initial assumption. The job itself attracts power hungry people that tend to have issues.

Cops want to be held to some magical standard when they pull you over... As if they deserve some sort of respect. Bullshit.. People EARN respect.




The only reason that there aren't MORE incidents is that most people fear cops and what they get away with when they snap.

When pulled over it's best to treat a cop the same way you treat an abused aggressive dog.. No sudden movements, all smiles, just play dumb and nice.

More to the point, one has an ethical responsibility to turn in any co-worker who is irresponsible in, or abusive of, their position. This goes for any profession.

Given the length of your reply, I'm guessing you missed my edit. I agree with bad cops, hang 'em high and let everyone see it. This guy is a menace and being all but unwilling to fire him or prosecute him means that everyone around him is just as bad in my opinion.

Was hoping to hear about a new predator movie. About the predator that polices other predators. He could be a game warden type, making sure they didn't exceed their limits, or maybe he's chasing down the predator terrorists who hijacked the spaceship to alien world.

you can turn down the rhetoric.

The officer should have been fired.

Officers work in different depts and deal with different groups of offenders. Some offenders (esp. gangs) are very violent and a tough cop is necessary. Dealing with those people will bring complaints and incidents of violence that get added to their jacket.

Usually an officer deals with people who resist arrest or are under the influence of something and a violent altercation takes place. The officer is trained to deal with that in a quick and decisive manner. His superior will support him if he does everything by the book.

The support for this particular officer by his superior is for a show of solidarity. They know he is a problem cop, but support him for internal political reasons. He is an embarrassment to all the other officers and will eventually be dealt with. Its not so easy to just fire a union employee.

here's what I suggest: why don't you go on a ride-along and actually see what police have to deal with everyday before making generalizations about them.

 

[skyking]

I think that once an officer is screened for hiring, it is very difficult for the management to go back on that initial assessment.
If they do fire him, it brings into question every arrest and action he performed.
Some of his training officers had misgivings about this guy, but they did not win out.

Sounds like you are suffering from roid rage right now :sneaky:
