It's not cop haters, it's the small number of cops on the forums that can look at the same video as the rest of us and not understand why we think their behavior is crossing the line. You all seem to come to rallying around a fellow officer even when he is so clearly in the wrong that if it had been anyone else they would have been locked up. You justify this as one of the perks of the job, and call anyone who disagrees with you a coward for not being a cop along with you.
You must have me confused with some whole other body! I never justify a police officer's misconduct. If a cop does something wrong, I say he or she should be given equal punishment under the law. I treat police officers breaking the law the same exact way I would treat a non police officer who is breaking the law.
Now, I don't look at a video and blindly say the cop is wrong because other people see it that way. I know what we are allowed to do and I know what the use of force continum dictates. I also know that other people draw conclusions based on a lack of training and experience.
The cop who forced the woman on the ground should be punished because he lied! He should not be a police officer any longer if he is going to lie.
The second video where the police officers put the guy in the car, I don't see what was wrong with that at all? They didn't strike him, they didn't abuse him, they carried him to a police car.
The third video where the officer was striking the man on the ground. I see this as a problem. If the man was giving up, then the officer is wrong. however, if the man was acting aggressive (we don't know what he was saying because there is no audio) then she may have been attempting to subdue him.
Now, you read my post and responded, but it is funny to me that you left out your occupation?
