No. Cops go through training. They're supposed to deal with situations like this with civility and through what their training told them to do. They were taught how to take down someone who was attacking them without BASHING THEIR FUCKING HEAD IN ON A CONCRETE WALL. And yes, that's EXACTLY what they're supposed to fucking do! Cuff you, read you your miranda rights, put you in holding and take you to trial. They're not fucking vigilantes!lowing wrote:
IN other words, cops are robots, you can treat the police anyway you want, shoot them stab them, spit on them, hit them and all they are allowed to do is cuff you and send you to trial. Sorry, not the real world. Cops are humans as well, and are privy to all the mistakes, emotions, pain and loss, that the rest of us face.Poseidon wrote:
I don't see how anybody can possibly defend the cop in this situation.
This girl might've been the biggest punk on Earth, but I don't care. Nothing justifies that kind of response. Not even if she started hitting him. You are a fucking COP, you are not a vigilante. You don't get to beat the shit out of people. You went through the Police Academy for a reason.
They are not the judge, jury and executioners.
Cops are humans, but they've been trained to go against their instinct. But this wasn't even instinct. This was a cop with a history of bad behavior taking his anger out on the typical teenager who thinks nothing of authority. But I don't care if she's a neo-nazi. NOTHING could ever justify what he did unless she had a shotgun aimed at the cops or was doing something to threaten their lives. She kicked a FUCKING SHOE at them. And she looks like some 5'6" girl who weights 120 pounds.
Why don't we just let anyone we want become cops? Then your argument will work, because they truly will be "human". Until then and they eradicate Police Academies around the country, your argument is null and void.
So much for being some purveyor of the constitution, lowing. You're certainly one who believes in cruel and unusual punishment. Another of your arguments - debunked for being the bullshit that they are.
This kid has history. Again I do not say the cop was right, I just say, I understand his frustration level in dealing with the scum of the earth every day.
Pilots are trained as well, planes still crash
teachers are trained, kids still fail or drop out
fire fighters are trained, houses still burn to the ground
doctors are trained patients still die.
What is your point on training. Ever hear of human factors? Look it up
