See 14, and watch the video, its impossible for me to see how this cop isn’t just all kinds of out of line...
Guys fueling his bike, the cop runs up, takles him knocking both the bike and the man to the ground... the video does have a clear edit, but the man is still on the ground when the cop tases him...
What the hell is justification for running up and tackling someone who is no immediate threat to anyone as best as it appears.
We’ll see if the body cam footage brings out more context, but that hasn’t been released, and it sure doesn’t look good.. The Daily Mail does sensationalize.. so maybe they have left out context, but on its face it looks REALLY BAD for the cop.
“What the hell is justification for running up and tackling someone who is no immediate threat to anyone as best as it appears.”
He’s a scofflaw and rides his motorcycle illegally sometimes! Certainly that deserves the death penalty. He might even jaywalk from time to time. Society is saved from this scofflaw now. Left unchecked, his career of crime might have expanded to leaving gum under picnic tables.

Same justification for attacking a 77 year old demented guy and causing a brain hemorrhage which killed him =>
