Police Brutality: This has got to be the most rediculous beating yet.

Don't get me wrong, criminals should be punished, but this is overkill.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/05/20/alabama.police.beating/index.html

For all those officers know, the driver could have been dead when they got there. If he had died from head injuries, it would have been extremely difficult to prove that beating wasn't the cause. They can't handle their rage so they shouldn't be on the police force.jimmyjammer69

Not only that, but it took the prosecutors bringing this up for it to come to light! They had this video for over a year and there was nothing done about it by their superiors.

Holy crap. Really, just wow. They really must of been in rage mode.

I'm glad those cops were fired, in my opinion, they should have been jailed for about 5 years each, with the guy ramming him 10. That was simply inexcusable.

And by 10 I mean the period of time between the PS1's peak popularity and today, i.e. 1999 to 2009, or in this case, 2009 to 2019.

As i said before, i don't really feel sympathy for the guy. He almost hit a cop and was putting everyone else's lives on that road in danger.AAllxxjjnn

He DID hit that cop.

That was some very indiscretional work. The cops should've definitely did some time

The **** psycho went out of his way and swirved to try and run over a cop. He's lucky that's all he got.

Just read other comments, did the dude die?

Um, heard of excessive force? A cop's job is enforcement, not judgement, and it looks to me like they didn't even try to restrain him,they just wailed on him. A good cop would've stuck a heavy knee on his back and cuffed him.

He didn't "go out of his way" to hit the cop. If you look at the road, there was a spike strip he tried to avoid. I'd say hitting the cop was purley accidental. Too bad the same can't be said for the 5 morons who beat him.

Also, he swirves before the cop throws down the spikes.

Man, people are so quick to judge the cops reacting to what they just went through. Not the **** crook who almost killed a cop and did who knows what else.

Suspected drug charges. Read the article.

The police are there to uphold the law. The punishment is for the courts to decide.

I understand that, but we do expect them to be able to control themselves better than the average person. If they can't, then they're not right for the job - hence the firing.

[QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"][QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"] Yeh, i have heard of excessive force. He deserved a good ass kicking.AAllxxjjnn

Hitting a cop his wrong, using excessive for is wrong too. His job is to restrain him and bring him in, not curbstomp him. They are acting like a lawlessmob. If thiscriminal was dead/dying, and they were beating on his corpse these fools would be on trial for lynching. They took the law into their own fists.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"] So what you're saying is that you'd have done the same thing?jimmyjammer69

If I had to decide whether somebody were suitable for military grunt or police officer, that's exactly the sort of incident I'd ask them to judge.

So every law-breaker who disregards the life of another deserves not only to be arrested, tried and punished, but also to get kicked in the head by the police?jimmyjammer69

Guy almost kills your friend. Is putting many other people's lives in danger. I'm sure you would be pissed as **** in that situation.AAllxxjjnn

Being human is no excuse for this beating. These former policemen she be charged with assault and battery.

Robots? You're condoning them acting like the people they are paid to arrest: criminals. Cops are held to a standard and this clearly was well below that standard. If they wanted to act like this, they shouldn't be cops (and now they aren't) andthey should serve prison sentences.

Never said it wasn't wrong. But i really don't feel sympathy for the guy. I'd kick his ass too. I'm just not gonna blame the cops for how they reacted there, it's understandable. AAllxxjjnn

I'm sorry, but I do not understand beating a defenseless person with four other people, regardless of what he's done. It's not understandable, and since they were cops, it makes it unprofessional as well

The whole point of having cops is that they enforce such a behaviour that instead of being judged by emotional human beings, people are judged by courts. One of the things a cop should always do is keep a cool head, and behave professionally. All that crap about "they're just human" doesn't really make sense, because if every cop was "just human" every cop would be corrupt too. Cops should have some kind of barrier to stop them from this kind of behaviour. What if the man in the car would've been alive if the cops didn't beat him up, but the beating did the last bit?

There's a difference between being a robot and behaving professionally, and beating up a severely injured man lying on the ground because he hit one of your colleagues. If policemen can't keep their cool in such situations, then they either need more training or aren't fit to be policemen.
