Video of beating (warning: graphic) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEkz_0NkowU
Okay. I have chosen not to watch it.
As a general statement of my thoughts, I do not support police brutality.
There are times when the member of the public creates their own problems. I still to this day think Rodney King refused to submit at any time. His passenger was taken into custody without incident. He complied with officers.
I did not view the officers actions to be over the top because of that. The guy was a tall muscular and very strong person.
If a guy is in a chair and is getting beaten, then there are problems.
Some have said this video was inconclusive, so this may not have been as represented.
I appreciate your comments.
He was drunk and out of control. Clearly, his ability to reason was compromised, with all the more reason to restrain him. Unfortunately, he resisted. If you’re a big, drunk person, you may want to think twice about causing a physical altercation in a police station. Just a thought.
Southern Michigan?
Trolls or Yupers?
Nugent wasn’t born in Texas but he got here as soon as he could. He’s no longer a Yankee. Plus, he was one of those good Yankees who loves guns.
Knee-jerk city...
Personally I would like to see the other side of the story before becoming terminally outraged.
Yes, I can imagine circumstances that would outrage even the most rabid pacifist-born victim...
You can see one punching in the video; but hey....
