Was this excessive force used by the officer?

Wow, sure looks like it. Booting the guy in the head when he was laid flat out on his stomach? Just a tad over the top.

He is just lucky the dog wasn't sent after him... I hear they aren't all love and cuddles.

He was running from the police...he deserved it.
Nope.
The suspect ran for 10 mins and risked injuring numerous people through the way he drove.
I don't care that he was laying down seemingly in a position safe for the police to arrest him. You just don't know what he might have done. The cop was making sure the suspect was incapacitated so as not to risk injury to himself or other officers. If he struck him multiple times, then that would have been over the top.

No matter what, cop is wrong. Guy was on the ground spread out. Its not their job to beat the guys ass for what he did, its the judge and jury who get to throw his ass in FPMITAP. Not for the cop.

the other two cops kneeing him in the back from 2 feet off the ground and then the baton beating were a bit over the top as well...
and that news guy was very annoying.

What if the guy shanked the cop as he came up? At that point, I do not think a cop is going to risk any more shit from the perp.

his hands were in plain sight. if he had a blade or shank, it would have been easily seen from that cops distance. if he was really that worried, he should have pulled his sidearm and waited for back up.

I guess this is true, I never really had cop training :/
but if you run from the police, you better expect an ass whooping.

Yeah, I realize that now that hanoverphist said he should have waited for backup with his gun on the guy.

Classic interpretation.
"When capturing potentially dangerous suspect who's surrendering in a sprawled out face down position, deliver immobilizing blow just in case he becomes combatant upon arrest." :laugh:
And yes, he was struck multiple times with the baton by the other officer.

There should be a law, if you engage police in a high speed pursuit to bring your criminal ass in the police are entitled to abuse you in any way that gives them joy.

if i run from the police and dont submit, ill take that beating. if anyone drops to the ground and gives up, it is not green light for the cop to kick the guy in the face, hit them with a baton in the ribs repeatedly. those are moves to subdue a suspect, not moves to use on a suspect that is already subdued.
