I saw this video on the news there were five 220 + pound cops standing around the guy and th e video showed him getting out of the chair like they told him then the next scene two of them grab him by the arms that are handcuffed behind him and they throw him into a wall then the ground it looked completely excessive to me and this guy has to wear a metal brace on his leg that goes from his lower thigh to his mid shin for the rest of his life because of the severity of his leg injury

Was there audio?

Expect an appeal and with the judges in our locale, the officer will probably not be so lucky.

While some cops are bad, the average cop just wants to do his job and stay in one piece. I'd much rather some idiot criminal get damaged than the average cop who is doing the public a service by dealing with the scum. While the press sensationalizes the bad cops, the general trend is; if you don't break the law, you don't end up surrounded by cops and if you do find yourself in custody, if you don't scream and holler and make suden moves, you don't get creamed.

Officer found not guilty? I'm shocked!

Maybe you didn't see the whole tape? We know how the media can be...

Umkay, so why did the jury see it differently in such a short time (two hours)?

Handcuffed?? It's a major restraint on anyone becoming combative. But then the dick head shouldn't expect Days Inn accomodations in a jail house.
