“From the report that I’ve read, from the photo that I saw and from your description, I’ve not seen anything at this point that would indicate to me that anything out of order happened.”
-San Antonio Police Chief William McManus

I think the police dept. just picked up the tab for the building remodel.

I agree with the Chief:

When they kicked the as$ of this innocent man, NOTHING out of the ordinary happened.

Mao said guerrillas as like fish, and The People are the ocean. That’s why those commies always tried to stay in tight with the people —so they had hiding places. And that’s what US forces also constantly learn; stay as much as possible on the good side of the townsfolk, cuz they may rat out the guerrillas to you.

OK so if US cops are TOTALLY INDIFFERENT to what the citizens think of them, then…

WHERE are they getting their intel?

Because THEY ARE getting it from SOMEWHERE.

And if you know what STINGRAY is, then you’ll understand why they don’t actually care what you think of them —because they don’t HAVE to care, see?

If he has a dog, he’s lucky he didn’t bring it with him.

Police abuse their authority all the time. And I don’t know what the WaPo is doing reporting this, what their angle is, but, really?

I don’t think San Antonio has a bad rep for this - out of control police business.

This guy is wandering around a very swanky hotel district taking pictures of s building.

Maybe the cops were ridiculous and brutal and way out of order.

But... this guy’s wife is a doctor and he doesn’t know enough post 9 11 not to go around taking pix of buildings.

It’s something we’re trained to not do. wanted to take photos of some visiting airplanes once on base and hub came tearing over, ‘no, don’t do that, the SPs will be all over us’.

I don’t know.

An McManus isn’t known for being a jerk as far as I know

Well, I don’t know about this. Plus, could we give SA a break, the overrun border is right there.

I watched around 5 minutes of one of the cop shows yesterday.

They showed two cops restraining a guy. He was obeying their orders like he lay down when they said but he wasn’t doing exactly what they said, at least not for a few seconds. I doubt he really understood what they were saying.

He lay down as soon as they told him to but then propped himself up on his side but was still lying down. After being told several times to lie completely flat he did. Then one cop cuffs him while another puts his boot on the guys neck.

If someone did that to me, there would be a very good chance that he would open his car door and find a rattlesnake in it. If not that, something else.

If this is what they show on TV, just how much worse are they when it is not shown?

Ain’t no sense in bringing out the SWAT Team if nobody dies or maimed!

Incidents like this seem to be on the rise. It’s ominous.

The officers made it home safe and that’s all that matters.

The money Roger Carlos wins from the department should be taken from the police pension fund. Why should the taxpayer foot the bill. Until police feel the pain their actions cause, they will continue to inflict pain on the taxpayers.

“Carlos said he was struck about 50 times, even though he complied with the officers’ instructions and did not fight back. “

Well, if you don’t want this crap happening in your community, elect a pro-2nd amendment, Constitutional sheriff in your county. With a constitutional sheriff, you can:

1. Investigate political, left-wing police commissioners appointed by a commie mayor.

2. Throw leftist police chiefs out of your community.

3. Buy surplus military equipment.

4. Investigate and imprison left wing commies in your local government.

5. Tell Rambo federal police thugs to stay out of your county - or else.

6. Organize an armed 2,000 man auxiliary deputy force for “emergencies.”

I live under the protection of a constitutional sheriff. So should you.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus says it was a case of “mistaken identity,” .

So if it had been the suspect they were looking it for it would have been ok? You should lose your job along with your thugs, Willy. He's a gun grabber too, piece of s**t.

Notice how he switches it to being about drugs, rather than the police.

I wonder how the ahole police chief William McManus would like it if someone beat HIM about his face, skull, and neck?
I’ll bet HE would consider it “out of order.”

He and his jackbooted trio should be arrested.

They used his head as pinata and nothing fell out?

Well, thatz just cruel.

Cops might have been on a sugar high.

Did anyone think to ask if they had recently indulged in ohhhh maybe 1/2 dozen donuts and sugar in their coffee?

That might be mitigating. ...

Beating the shit out of an innocent man is “out of order”, dumbass.

Time to find a new Police Chief.

Gov. Perry. Time to clean house. Start a state investigation of Texas law enforcement officers/departments who have screwed up in the past two years.

Restore the people’s faith in decent law enforcement/personnel. Show some leadership on this issue, NOW!
