The cops always pull this crap. They always maul the suspect and kick and punch excessively when the guy has clearly surrendered. This is why the average citizen hates cops. And cops will not protect you if your house gets broken in.
When will cops learn to point there cars away from a beating?

#73If the post is true that this guy had just plowed down a police officer then fled, I think the officers should get a pass here for a few kicks and punches. Suspended two weeks without pay at most.
It's so easy to sit behind a keyboard and say the officers should have shown no emotion, should have seen that the perpetrator was down and couldn't harm anyone else, but thrown in the moment, they reacted emotionally and with aggression. Not hard to swallow if one of their fellow brothers was just killed or seriously injured by the thug.
Did we want them to be robots? Yet in situations where police follow the rules to a T, we blast them for not showing discretion. Whether these officers had exemplary service records leading up to this incident or not, it is clear that critics have quicker trigger-fingers beind their keyboard than bad apple officers do behind their Glocks.
Most sensible folks would agree, to bad what we think doesn't really matter in a court of law. This guy just ran over a cop and can now legally sue the same city in which the cop works for and most likely win. All because these cops wanted retribution. Lack of foresight.Comment -

#74This isn't fair to the police, Dad. That man could have regained consciousness at any moment and then fought off a half dozen cops and then went back to his van and got a gun and then shot the cops and then ran away. I mean without the beating i'm sure that's what would have happened.Comment -

I respect police officers who put their lives on the line to protect others, but there is nothing that justifies beating a human being after he's unconscious from an accident. If there is anyone who deserves to be kicked out of the USA it's brutal, racist police officers and those who support them.Comment -

#79Lawsuits against cops are out of control.
January 28, 2011 | 8:03 am
A Newport Beach woman is seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages from the city, claiming police erroneously arrested her husband who had bipolar disorder. Her husband then killed himself in jail.
Sandy Wedgeworth, 34, and family members filed four claims against Newport Beach this week seeking upward of $34 million for emotional distress, loss of a husband and father, and loss of future earnings.
William Robert Wedgeworth, 43, hanged himself with bedsheets in a Newport Beach Police Department jail cell July 31. Police had arrested him earlier in the day on suspicion of spousal abuse against his wife. She said she wanted her husband to get psychiatrict help, not be arrested.
"This is a sad and tragic loss," said Newport Beach City Atty. David Hunt. "We take it very seriously, and we've done a thorough investigation into the circumstances underlying it. We concluded there was nothing we could've done to prevent it. The jail is safe, and our officers did their job correctly."Comment -

#81And people need to stop putting all cops in group. Like someone said there are criminals in the police force as well as the other jobs.
Not all cops are bad. I went to a movie and dinner with 4 tonight.

#82Oh. Was the guy who wrecked the motorcycle unconscious, immobile and unarmed? Even if the guy in the video was conscious, or mobile, or armed, which he obviously isn't, do you pull a bat out of your belt and start beating a man who was just in a high-speed car-crash and is laying on the ground not moving? or maybe use common sense and just jump on top of the guy and cuff him, wouldn't that be more safe? Instead of beating him and HOPING he doesn't pull out a weapon, try grabbing his arms so that he CAN'T take out a weapon. Anyone who thinks it is reasonable to start beating that guy the way they did, has a total lack of common sense.Comment -

#85I'll tell you right now. If I'm a cop and a Guy runs over one of my guys, you bet your ass I'm getting a few swings on him in that situation. Anyone who says different is a liar, or or the type of Guy That doesn't know how to properly take care of his own.
Even if that Guy is unconscious, you can make sure he's even less comfortable when he comes around.Comment -

#87I'm so thankful you're not in Law Enforcement. A guy who gets ejected from a moving vehicle at high speed and lands lifeless deserves a further ass kicking? What is this the Wild Wild West? Cops have to execute arrests and behave in a ethical manner overall, period. A Code of Ethics is very important in Law Enforcement. Pulverizing a lifeless idiot is not ethical. So therefore them getting fired was and is justified.Comment -

"All bets" should never be off.
Anyway, if you watch it closely, only 2 of the guys really do anything out of line.
The first guy, who slips because he's so anxious to pummel an unconscious guy (or corpse) with his stick half a dozen times, and then the hero (also slips) in the light colored suit with his back to the camera giving the combinations after all the rest clearly see the guy is incapacitated.
No excuse for it. Those two don't need to have a badge anymore.Comment -
