this kind of shit really ticks me off

Ya I don't get why this is even slightly tolerated >.>

 

WTF?! Who does that!! That is so.... Ahh it pisses me off!

 

We live in scary times and the days of protect and serve went out with the 50's. I personally am terrified of police officers. I have had a problem with one for a period of time and they do have absolute power. Now I know most are good. Just be carefull and keep your nose clean. Then you have nothing to worry about. June

 

The abuse of power really has gotten out of control. (After all I live in AZ so if you don't know what I mean just google Sheriff Joe Arapio LOL!)

 

I want to start by saying that I don't think it's RIGHT for cops to abuse their position and use unneccessary force like in this video. But I also understand that cops are people too. People hold them to a much higher standard than the rest of us like they're so different. "well, he's a cop. he should have better control." I hear that argument all the time and I'm torn about it. Because Cops are people too. They get stressed just like the rest of us, probably more so.

Would it change your perspective at all if that guy had shot and killed a child, and the police had been chasing him for an hour? What if the guy had shot and killed another police officer before he ran? We don't know what the person did, so it's really not fair of us to be making judgements based on a partial story. Out of context, yes, the police were in the wrong and I don't think they should have beaten that guy like that. And since we don't have the proper context, that's all the responses you're going to get to this.

 

How for the love of cheesecakes can that be tolerated in this day and age

 

Don't get me started on cops. After what those bastards have done to me I have lost respect for cops.

 

Like I said, I'm not trying to say that what they did is right. But people do wrong things all the time. Just because they're cops shouldn't make a difference to people. If a group of random strangers were to have tazed and beaten that guy, it would have been attributed to gang violence, or a hate crime, or some other thing like that. But people would have just accepted that those guys were assholes and moved on with their lives. But because the aggressors happen to be cops in this situation, it's suddenly a thousand times worse.

If you can tell me that if someone shot and killed your friend, the person you've spent every day with for years, that you wouldn't be angry and want to hurt them, then I have a lot of respect for you as a person, because not even I am that restrained. And I'm a pretty reserved person. As stated previously, I'm not trying to say that anyone is wrong. I completely agree that they shouldn't have done that. But I also understand that they're human, and therefore prone to doing things they shouldn't. I'm not saying that kicking him is going to DO anything. And they probably know that somewhere in their minds too, but in a moment of anger, it's really easy to do something stupid that you'll regret later.

I dunno. I don't particularly like a lot of cops either, but stuff like this gets blown way out of proportion and people get all mad and bent out of shape about it. Bad things happen. That's just the way the world works. If you're going to get mad over every single story you see on the news or clip you see on youtube of people doing bad things to one another, you're going to be mad for most of your life.

If you do become one then don't hurt anyone or take advantage of them.

 

Good to hear or shall I say read. LOL.

 

Wow that's so messed up. It's sad that there a cops like this out there.

 

This is very similar to what happened in the Stanford Prison Experiment. That study showed that power warps people's minds very quickly. Some are immune, and some turn into corrupt bastards when given a badge.

 

Tbh i kinda disagree with you. If hes broke the law he deserves all he gets. Theres to many do gooders in this world
