This is unacceptable. These officers should be charged with breaking and entering, assault and battery, and civil rights violations. Not only should they loose their jobs, they should go to jail.
exactly right
I agree it’s unacceptable but given the guy’s demeanor i wonder why they were called in the first place. I’d guess it was probably a loud argument / domestic dispute that got out of hand and some neighbor called it in. The guy was in violation of POPO (pissed off police officer) which is why i think the police officer kicked the door in. The officers will probably try to claim exigent circumstances made them enter into the residence but it won’t work as the female wasn’t acting like she was under duress by the guy and it’s clearly on tape. Expect a wrist slap (one day suspension with no pay probably) and retraining on constitutional law pertaining to the 4th Amendment.
They won't be charged, they won't lose their jobs, and they won't go to jail. They knew that, so that's why they felt free to act as they did.
Don't hold your breath. There are two really great advantages of government jobs:
Lose.
