What's wrong with cops these days when they are worse than the people they are arresting?

[VanDeKoik]

Talk about adding injury to insult.

[Mr. Douglas]

Watch “A Clockwork Orange” to get a feel for the world in which we now live. The book/movie was downright prophetic.

[Responsibility2nd]

Nahhh. This narrative is all wrong.

Actually his head was on fire and the nice friendly police officers were trying to stomp it out.

Yeah. That’s the ticket.

[Red Badger]

He’s gonna be a very wealthy man..............soon.........................

[Flick Lives]

The footage, originally obtained by Univision, begins at this point, showing the man crawling from the car, engulfed in flames.

He rolls on the ground with little effect, and appears to throw off clothing. Suddenly, a group of police arrive, guns drawn, and surround him.

As the man lowers himself to the ground, one officer runs up and delivers a hefty kick. He stomps on the man as another cop runs up and delivers a kick.

Not only is the city liable for a humongous lawsuit payment for this victim, the police deserve nothing less than losing their jobs and doing serious jail time.

[eyeamok]

Every cop there on the scene belongs in PRISON, 120 days in General Population should cure them of their moral bankruptcy and they just might learn a little respect for their fellow man.

[I want the USA back]

Big lawsuit. He deserves a few million.

[Delta 21]

The beatings will continue until morale impr............

Lets just say “The beatings will continue, and leave it at that, shall we.

[Manly Warrior]

1. Force the question of whether they should retain official immunity or whether they should be held personally accountable. ( not much money in that course of action, perhaps).

2. Sue either both the officers personally if 1 above is upheld, or if not, then sue the city/county etc for as much as the jury will stand....

As long as the taxpayer is held accountable, this will not stop. Officers at every level of govt need to know that they are not immune in all cases, the tide needs to turn. Hold individuals responsible for their actions. I am certain bum rushing a burning man and stomping him whether he is a suspect or not is not within any LE policy.

“but yer ‘oner, he was armed, with fire!”

Is it my imagination or are all of these incidents in blue states with high socialism? We have some over eager officers in Texas, but I don’t recall this type of abuse here or in other very conservative states. Socialism always pits the citizens against the bureaucracy and criminals who appear to be in league to keep the citizens subdued.

It’s just like all of the racism accusations in very liberal colleges, while at conservative private colleges all of the students seem to get along with each other and the professors. I think they are even getting educated.

I sure wish they’d stop projecting their social ailments and constructs on the rest of us.

In the past this reckless human stain would’ve been killed for the danger he posed to others; now he’ll make millions. This is a couple of miles east of me; there was a victim at the crash site with severe burns that probably wishes the cop killed the perp. He’d caused a five-car accident earlier in the chase.

Subhuman animal; shame he survived.

[kearnyirish2]

(My posts make no sense if it turns out this isn’t the perp - they haven’t clarified that on news here yet.)

[Oratam]

I’m still shocked that these videos exist . . . because it means the one doing the filming preferred that to saving the life of their fellow human being.

[Agamemnon]

Police had been chasing Pinkston, 48, for around six miles when the crash occurred.

There's a back story here that is not being told and FReepers are choosing to jump all over a group of cops first.

Just for sake of discussion, what if the guy they were pursuing here was caught in the act of ass raping a 5-year old little girl like those Muzzies in Washington state were doing, and he flees in his car and almost kills another driver, as just described. He loses control of the car and slams into a pole becoming a fire ball -- endangering the cops trying to cuff him

Think those cops might be justifiably less sympathetic to an asshole on fire like that?

FReegards!

[DannyTN]

Thought they kicked him back into the burning car based on headline.

[G Larry]

The broken facial bones, concussion, and brain damage, can’t be compensated in dollars.

These cops belong in jail.

What's wrong with cops these days when they are worse than the people they are arresting?

What's wrong is that they aren't held to account for their actions — just look at their legal immunities and how, despite being a fellow civilian entrusted with upholding the law, they are not required to either know or follow the law.

It's the same with the elite where someone can be guilty, obviously so, and some authority figure comes in and de facto pardons them: James Comey with Hillary Clinton and no criminal intent, or when Murtha was found to be acting in the scope of office when he slandered and defamed some marines, how Ammon Bundy's lawyer was assaulted after asking for the papers showing the authority of the court to hold his client after securing an acquittal from the jury, or how something like the whole Waco incident where such injustices were piled atop one another to totally excuse the perpetrators.

There's whole documentaries on Waco, and it would take a long time to list them all; perhaps a better example would be Ruby Ridge, ID wherein the FBI flat-out murdered a woman in front of her family, the perpetrator (Lon Horichi) was never held to account.

There's a reason that the Stop, Drop, and Cower pamphlet gained a bit of virality on the internet - it's humor, while over the top, is grounded in some truth about the attitude that those in authority have.

[lowbridge]

With all the smoke and fire, and his skin being scorched, they mustve thought he was a black man.
