Is this just another "isolated incident?"
I can't wait to see the usual suspects here defend the cops. "cops have such a hard job, you just don't understand", or "Why didn't the perp just follow orders", or "If he wasn't such a dirt bag he wouldn't be on the ground", or "Ferrel humans deserve the beat downs they get, extra judicial punishment". Just wondering which ones will come.
My favorite: "So Darius, what are you in for?"
No.
Union members beating taxpayers is not isolated.
That thugcop needs to go to jail. For a looooong time.
The way I figure it, if you’re going to get arrested for “battery on a police officer” and get a beat down, then you might as well go for broke - make sure the cop has to go to the hospital too.
So TQC, what’re you in for?
“Beating the stuffing out of a cop who tried to assault me on my own property. And you?”
This is a case where the officers should be sued and the demand is not for money but for their badges and a permanent order that they never serve in any law enforcement position, even mall patrol, again.
Just one more instance that proves COPS are not necessarily the good guys.
Years ago I though Civil Review Boards were wrong, they were professionals, etc, etc.
Years later my opinion changed. Like ALL governmental employees and politicians they NEED civilian oversight.
I hope Crooks sues the AG office, the Police Union, this bunch of crooked cops and the jurisdiction for every last cent he can get.
They are bastards.
He was extremely fortunate that he was not killed. The West Point guy wasn’t so lucky.
Oh, please. Give the ridiculous baiting a rest.
Just another cop with a very heavy government badge, who had nothing to do but show the victim who’s boss. The victim who was not committing any crime.
No word if the if the USA for the District of Nevada has opened up a criminal civil rights investigation, but if this transcript is accurate, they should.
Why did he lie about living there? Not that it makes the cop right or anything, but...
sorry, Mitch..you can kiss that one goodbye
Here’s a Ferrell human. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mie9hhQTUM
If what is reported is actually born out by the video tape, there is no defending this “cop.”
Just Thugs With Badges doing what takes to keep the sheeple in line. Reason #6294 to carry a gun.
The thing that really bothers me is the criteria for resisting arrest is as small as asking them not to arrest you.
Cops. About every tenth one is just dying to use force on someone, anyone.
Do you know the guy taping this video? Do you know what was going on before the COP stopped or why he was there in the first place? Do you know what gestures the guy taping the video was making etc? Do you know what action was taken by the police department against the officer if he was acting out of line? What other than the so expertly advice of some babel head do “you” actually know about this event? Other than speculation, conjecture and hyperbole, what do you have in terms of facts outside of a video?
You're a waste of time- Why don't you go look for some Iraq video that looks horrible and formulate your entire position on the Iraq war based on this? Ignorance is bliss.
This cop was with other cops shaking down "burglary suspects"..who also were not charged.
The same thing goes for "drug" or "prostitute" stings. It's all about blackmail and protection money.
Of COURSE they don't want to be video taped... only the sheep civilians can be taped. I like the way he made sure to yell out..."don't resist" before he put the beat down on this guy.
It's justified for the cop to beat the cr@p out of anybody when they say, "stop resisting" or "drop the gun" when you have nothing. bwahahahahahaha.
This guy is already involved in 2 shootings.. makes you wonder..
This is so common. The police make an unwarranted and illegal demand and then use force when someone refuses to kow tow.
Idiots apparently either forgot to “lose the camera” or they have such a reinforcing hierarchy that they never even considered that they would get in trouble.
Hate to say it, but generally the only way that this type of thing could get evened out is to catch up with the cop when they are off duty and give them a major blanke party.
