Generally my thoughts are that because the murder of policemen is on the uptick I do not blame them for being super cautious and unforgiving.

We citizens must understand that a policeman is a target always.

I do not know all the facts but even if the man continued to "resist" did it really take six of them to subdue him? Did only one or two continue the beating and the others did nothing?

Acts like this and the cop losing his temper near Canton Ohio and another cop literally assaulting someone in Las Vegas show something really dark about police work.

The cop who arrested the woman in her own front yard when she refused to comply with his order I can understand. If the cop had beaten her that is when the officer should be prosecuted.

I do not know the outcome in Las Vegas of the (ex?) military officer being gunned down in a major retail establishment there. The (I think it was) three policemen opened fire when he moved his hand toward a pocket or some such act. Reports were that he had done nothing wrong but employees called police because one of the employee thought the man was carrying a gun.

Here in the Sacramento area a "suspicious" man was shot to death last night because, the reports have so far stated, he did not exit his vehicle fast enough.

Actually you need to understand that police officer has one of the lowest death rates of all professions. Ranking about 4th I believe. Their job isn't as dangerous as they would have you believe.
