Question: What happens if you give up, go prone on the ground with your arms and legs spread out wide and offer no further resistance?
Answer: You get kicked in the head and punched in the kidneys with a baton while fat cops high five each other.
So, was this guy breaking the law and endangering people? yes, does he deserve to get kicked in the head? probably. Are the cops the ones that should be responsible for doling out punishment to people? NO.
Here is MY opinion, let say you are the person who says “that guy was way wrong, when you run from the cops and break the law, you better be ready for what they give you and don’t whine about itâ€
Well think about it, which law is it that you are talking about? What if you visit your kids after your spouse puts a restraining order on you, should the cops beat your ass then? What if you are meeting in a public place with like minded individuals about as topic that you strongly believe in, but you do not have or were not allowed to have a permit, should you be beat then? perhaps you are pregnant and you shoplifted food, can they beat you then? If you said no to any of those, I would like to ask you who will be the one that makes the decision of just what crimes or what types of people we can beat up before bringing to trial. No matter how angry we get, it is not up to the cops to punish people, that’s the job of other the other prisoners.
What’s YOUR opinion? Does he deserve what he got, was that police officer wrong, am I an idiot? Let’s hear your comments below:
>it is not up to the cops to punish people,
>that’s the job of other the other prisoners.
Huh? Really?
Poor baby got kicked in the head. Don’t run. Could have been me or my family killed by this fleeing suspect. Happens all the time. Fact is we’re a nation of laws. Obey them, because that shows respect to all who live in this society and must share this planet together.
But no, it’s not right (and is illegal) for this cop to kick this guy in the head, and he should be punished appropriately. But our society consists of humans not robots. A cop is human just like you and me. He’s not superman, or infallible. A cop has also volunteered to commit his life to preserving the safety and security of our society. And some die for it. And you can complain about abuses by the police (that happen everywhere), but it’s tough to complain about how good we have it compared to most other countries in this world where you’re at the complete mercy of the most evil elements. You cannot threaten the safety of the community, and the cop who’s just trying to do his job, and not expect a partial human response from the cop. I’m watching the video and *I* want to kick this guy in the head.
Cops are at a huge disadvantage is our society. They have to be perfect, or else they’re wrong. The rest of us can screw with them all we want and screw with society all we want and we’re only wrong if we get caught and convicted.
We need to remember that when one breaks the law, they’re not disrespecting the cops, they’re disrespecting the rest of us, and making our place to live that much worse. While the rest of us obey the laws and do what we can to make the world better for our kids.
So while what the cop did was illegal, barely a mention in the article above about how the suspect was wrong. And that’s what’s one-sided about how those who break the law complain about those we empower to enforce it.
Don’t run.
It is a well known fact that LA area cops love to beat down suspects. They are cowards and sociopaths! The cop who kicked the guy in the head needs to go to prison for a long time! The guy offered no resistance and the beat down was totally uncalled for.
