There are PLENTY of times cops do the wrong thing. In Florida a few weeks back, two BROWARD COUNTY (Democrat ruled....Democrat all the way) sheriff deputies SLAMMED a guy’s face into the ground. He was NO THREAT at all....but what the cops DID NOT KNOW was that they were CAUGHT ON CAMERA.

The media covered it for ONE DAY and has since IGNORED it.
But when a perp who gets shot who has assaulted a cop, strong armed robbed a store, and is apparently threatening a police officer, SUDDENLY the media cares.
It is BS.
Watch
the video at 1:38 and then freeze it at 1:42. Looks like the man is moving towards the cop and about to throw a punch with his right hand. When the cop strikes him the confrontation goes back to just words. Then at 1:48 the drunk Gonzalez, who was accused by the store owner of trying to steal beer, reaches out towards the cop at which point the cop strike him twice and throws him to the ground and cuffs him. Apparently Gonzalez was also combative with fire rescue and medical staff and had to be sedated because of his “belligerent and violent” actions. Gonzalez admited he was drinking but said he was just "using words" (like F-you over and over apparently) We can argue over whether too much force was used, but to say he was no threat at all seems a little bit of an exaggeration. The video clearly shows the drunk reaching out toward the officers not once but twice.
