Not a very good video image, but...
From what I could see the cop put his foot against the guy’s head and shoved it.
Not exactly a kick, and not really a stomp. The relevant issue for those two being impact speed.
Impolite and insulting, but not really intended to cause injury, which it appears it did not.
If my jacket had been stolen and I had been jumped by THREE racially-motivated thugs who beat me up to the point of my getting a concussion and a black eye, I’m doubtful that I would have been able to muster the restraint that Officer Haynes did, which is one of the reasons why I’m not a law enforcement professional. Concussions aren’t typically noted for enhancing cognitive function.
That being said, OF COURSE what Officer Haynes did was wrong, but I would be interested in seeing the additional evidence that the Guild President refers to.....and learning why the three attackers weren’t charged. Too many unanswered questions here.
That wasn't a cop.......look very closely at the video. That guy that put his foot down was being held by a cop, not the cop himself........
