Lots of cops are nutters. But they are certified to “take charge” of any situation.

I’ll say it again;we need peace officers NOT law enforcement thugs.

[Delta 21]

Just like the local benevolent police & state trooper assoc calls around here and acts worse than experienced telemarketers asking for money, hinting that your car having their sticker on it will get you favors if you are pulled over, and as much as threatening you with their LEGAL harassment if you dont.

Havent gotten beat up yet but quite a few are pissed at me for calling them on it.

Look at the video. The man has his hands BEHIND HIS BACK the entire time before the cop assaults him.

[Flick Lives]

If this is “officer of the yea” material, the whole damn force needs to be terminated. F’n goon squad.

[onedoug]

‘Roid rage?

[Ole Okie]

Wow! Pepper spraying a pizza? I really hadn’t noticed the criminal behavior of pizzas.

I don’t believe either Andy or Barney would have done that, even to a malevolent pizza.

[Patriot Babe]

That explains it he was honored by the Mulato Child from Kenya. I guess the Usurper will be honoring all of his yes men.

Saves the need to put some habenaro on it later.

If you work for the government you can't be promoted without being a screw up or an ass kissing rat. The system discourages the good people who are qualified and encourages the unqualified jerks.

At least the officer made it home that night, and that’s what’s important.

[M Kehoe]

Why does this incident in America remind me of Venezuela?

These type incidents are either happening more frequently, or they are just reported more often now.

We ain’t getting all the story here OR the cop is a certified nutter.

I'm sure you watched the same video I did, it showed it all. The cop is nuts......

[M Kehoe]

There’s a story about a cop in southern CA being brought up on charges that he pepper-sprayed a take-out pizza in the back seat of somebody’s car when they weren’t looking,

If it was a Domino's pizza, I would have eaten it...

Disclaimer: I eat habeneros raw for breakfast.

Just like a Liberal, these criminal filth with badges can't tell the truth no matter how insignificant the matter they're trying to deceive about.

If you ever wondered why cops hate so much being filmed, it's because they then cannot get away with lying to get innocent people railroaded.

They can all rot in hell. And, happily, they will.

"These are the same “Officers” that Obama will recruit to shoot at citizens (sorry Seattle) who oppose his dictatorial rule. The American Stasi."

In Seattle they'll only shoot at citizens because it's illegal for the police to engage anyone suspected of being an illegal alien unless they are caught in the act of committing a crime. Even then, the police cannot inquire about their citizenship status.

"Lots of cops are nutters."

I've always thought that too many conservatives have expressed an excessive confidence in the police. In the rule of law, yes, but the police as enforcers of the law can be just as flawed as anyone else.

It is a peculiarity that those who get “...of the year” awards for some reason go nuts after.

“Teacher of the year”, who suddenly turn into abusive pedophiles or something.

“Employee of the year”, who immediately begin embezzling and sexually harassing others.

etc.

[Mad Dawgg]

"The man has his hands BEHIND HIS BACK the entire time before the cop assaults him."

Yeah, the only thing I can think of that could justify the cops reaction is the guy sez something to instigate it and it would need be something like "I got a gun behind my back" or "I'm going grab you and make you me luv puppy" or some other such crap.

Without audio it doesn't give us the whole story but if I was on a jury I would award the Old Guy the Cop's house.

Sounds like a bullies and wimps game. Well the wimp might not be able to do much on the spot about the bully but he can at least try not to wimp out, instead calling on the God of all power.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, men’s praise is a fragile stay indeed and often an erroneous judge. I’m sure there are lots of of-the-year winners who behave themselves decently to a superficial view, but the irony is palpable when they don’t.
