[Video of Police Brutality] Innocent Man Tackled [Now in a coma]

Deplorable. Seems like this is happening more and more. He stopped and obviously was not a threat, but the cop took out his roid rage on him anyways. And there are an awful lot of people who seem to defend the cops whenever these situations occur - "they have a tough job" or "the little twerp deserved it" etc.

If this wasn't captured on camera what would the police have said happened? I bet the poor guy in a coma would be charged with "assaulting an officer" to give the officer an excuse for smashing his skull.
 
I just hope if the system fails to deliver justice, the father of the son will. I know I would..
 
One of you videophiles should put together a montage of all these brutality vids. Short little clips of the culminating moment when innocent (or not so innocent) people are abused by cops gone wild. I guarantee it will be viewed over and over and over. There are a ton of them archived here, and a you tube search with the right key words will unveil many more.

There is also the very real possibility that it's not that these incidents are increasing but that our awareness of them is increasing with the advent of everyone carrying video capturing cellphones.
 
This was a deplorable act by the officer. Just another good reason to replace the unaccountable government police with accountable, responsible private security firms.

Yea, cause you can return fire on douchebags that don't get blanket Sovereign Immunity. Sorry, but I'd rather have Blackwater or other Private Security that understand they take their life in their hands when they fuck someone up. In any other situation not involving jackhole police, a civilian could shoot a security goon in the face for what that shitstain in blue did and it would be perfectly legal as justifiable homicide.

I am referring to entirely private firms, such as those already successfully used by many businesses and colleges. You will have to shed your dependence on government police (i.e. protection rackets) if you truly want freedom, LE.

The guy was running for what ever reason. The cop caught up to him so what was the cop supposed to do, trust that the suspect wasn't going to continue to run or hand the suspect a cigarette and say nice run, now put the cuffs on? The suspect was supposedly one of the people in the "Bloody Fight" (assaulter).

Running from a cop is suspicious behavior. This suspect was thought to have assaulted someone. You have to forcibly take someone down that doesn't want to stop. You have to forcefully subdue them. Without forcing people to do this people would just run free continuously. The cop had every right to stop the suspect who was running away from him. It sucks he was put into a coma, its not like the cop beat him like Rodney King.

Except the suspect HAD stopped and was not brandishing any weapons. Would not it been safer for the officer and the suspect and witnesses for the officer to stop a few feet away and draw his firearm? Then order the suspect to the ground? There was no need for this assault.

Except cops are taught not to do this kind of thing, because a perp can easily take your fire arm away from you if you are close enough. But hey sorry to interject logic into this argument, you don't seem to be capable of it.

I draw your attention to these REALITIES:

1. thought = definitive maybe >> often wrong but never in doubt
2. our police forces are not known to be comprised of, perhaps because they are not recruited from, the sharpest tools in the shed

In America, in 2008, running from a cop is prudent and perhaps even life-saving. I call that sane.

Logic is . . . so logical.

A = it is SUSPICIOUS to run from a cop
B = presently (i.e. whereat theoretical rubber meets factual road), it is SANE to run from police

Therefore, C = it is SUSPICIOUS to behave SANELY.

And that, my friend -- I hope that you don't mind that I call you My Friend, I have so few opportunities to quote John McCain -- THAT is the terribly wrong thing that IS happening.

It is impossible to forcibly stop a body at rest. All that can happen is you give it momentum, which is exactly what happened. Obviously this kid was beaten much worse than Rodney King.

Authoritarian much?

Even my husband, a statist, was appalled by this video and agreed with me that the policeman used extremely excessive force and should face charges for his behavior.
 
I sense that protests against police brutality will be substantially more effective if they are conducted outside the homes of the offending "peace" officers. And perhaps their children's schools.
