I watch "Cops" on court teevee once or twice a week. In easily 75% of the arrests they make of a previously fleeing perp (knowing full well that the cameras are running) they continue to beat on the perp well after he is subdued and/or cooperating. The same is true for most live telecasts of car-chases.

I empathize with the cops frustration and anger, and most of these of these perps deserve (INO) slapping around a bit for what they did, but excessive force is excessive force.

well, every case is different of course. this fellow was certainly not fleeing.

Even if you just watch occassionly as I do, you still see countless examples of several cops YELLING don't move, get down, hands on head all at the same time.

I'll bet the Deputy here didn't know he was being filmed.
