That was all over Japanese TV last night. I saw it at the dentist while waiting for an appointment.
It looks like a pack of jackals taking down a hildabeast.
Million-dollar man. You can figure $50,000 for each single punch and kick. He can even sit there and dictate each officer get fired and the city will probably agree to it easily.
Back in the day, horse thieves were hung, as soon as a tree could be found.
What, no dog to shoot?
Not just stupid, but abysmally stupid. They don’t look up to see what kind of helicopter?
And the mother doesn’t know where her son is? Really? Does she know how to type “lawyers in my area” in google?
The optics are horrible, but there is probably a lot more to this story than meets the eye. He was charged with identity theft. It’s possible he deserved all this.
The fellow receiving the beating was white. Not that it matters to me. He got a well deserved ass kicking.
Shoulda’ hung him.
You should see it! Herman’s gettin’ a beatin’!
Nice job Barney Fife’s!! You just cost the taxpayers a ginormous bundle of cash and set that guy up for life (if he lives).
Out of control jackasses...
Keyboard commandos. That’s why I love the ol’ interweb. He wasn’t stealing the horse, he was attempting to flee and evade capture. That apparently wasn’t going so well (duh, idiot for even thinking he could get away on a horse) so he gave up and hit the dirt. Game over. Or at least it should have been. Yeah, he’s a horse thief, hang ‘em... and the horse should have been sent to the glue factory for assaulting a police officer, right? Lucky it wasn’t the 1800s? He sure was. If it had been, there wouldn’t have been a helicopter flying overhead documenting every criminal count flailed on the surrendered perp for alleged... um, identity theft? Yeah, identity theft. I’m pretty sure Wyatt Earp and his posse never tracked and beat down a man for identity theft...
The police should all be fired and thrown in jail and hopefully each receive similar treatment by their fellow inmates out in the yard. Unfortunately, the bad guy is now the victim and will receive a very large paycheck in the near future.
And cops hospitalized for dehydration?! Seriously? Dude... A 100-yard sprint followed by a couple minutes on the speed bag in 100 degree heat after a breakfast of Bavarian Cremes from Dunkin Donuts is probably not a good idea. Freakin’ idiot cops. They deserve what they have coming to them and then some.
Falling off a horse alone can get you hurt pretty bad...doing it in front of a bunch of angry cops leads to even more damage, it seems.
