When people are hit they usually hit back, whether its cops or anybody else. At most he should be briefly suspended or written up.

But there's a lot larger issue here: Why some people make a huge big deal over a criminal who cracked a cop in the head getting thrown down is just amazing.

You guys are furthering the PC movement motto: "white cops are out to get all black people?" What is wrong with you? Are you a bunch of liberals or something?

Yes, it's natural in a fight to hit back. But for a cop to punch this kid in handcuffs is just plain inexcusable. I have and will continue to defend the actions of the cops in the NYC shooting where the suspect was hit 19 times (out of 41 shots). That guy was totally innocent but acted in a way to put the cops if fear of their lives. But this kid was handcuffed and offering no apparent resistance.

"What is wrong with you? Are you a bunch of liberals or something?"

So only liberals can be outraged at an injustice? I don't think so. Cops are supposed to arrest the perp and courts are to try them. I can understand using ALL necessary force to subdue someone, but I will not condone beating a handcuffed suspect. I know that he only hit him once, but that's only because he was stopped by cops with cooler heads.

So this kid is a criminal huh? Please show your proof of this. According to the reports he has no criminal record.

What is wrong with you? Are you some sort of anarchist who doesn't believe in the rule of law?
