The officer is Hispanic, the “homey” wasn’t wiping his eye, he was giving the officer the finger. I’d have kicked him too.’
I’m usually critical of police being power abusive, but I’ll give them this one.
The news reporter “they were strolling....” isn’t a bit biased either.
And you would be committing an assault and should be arrested and jailed.
If you are a police officer I hope you do realize that the US SUpreme COurt ruled that giving cops the finger in the US is protected speech under the 1A.
So on top of committing an assault you may very well have violated their civil rights.
Cops lack the restraint to deal with people being "mean" to them need to go flip burgers.
I rail pretty hard against random abuse but when the police catch a perp in the act of an actual crime, I don’t feel terribly outraged.
I haven’t read anywhere that Shandy Cobane is Hispanic. What’s your source for that?
Nope....If the suspect/detainee was deemed a possible threat or suspect, he should have been handcuffed.
This is not wartime...yet...Ya got a lot of cops out there really bending and breaking their authority. There were 4 or 5 cops surrounding this young guy when he was down...It was obvious he was not a threat at this point. They were all standing over him for Gods sake.
Their us VS them attitude, is reaching a new levels... BTW, I am pro-LE...But I'm also honest.
