- Heysal, on 08/09/2008, -14/+228Why aren't the ALL the cops involved fired and arrested? If a citizen knows a crime is being done and doesn't report it we can be arrested for accomplice - why not our militia police thugs, too?
Our new police militia needs to be dissolved right now.
Tasers for police should be illegal, too -they are nothing more than weapons of terrorists. - anarcurt, on 08/09/2008, -6/+138When a police officer beats the crap out of a person it's (sometimes) excessive use of force. If a non-officer does the same its assault. One gives you a paid suspension one can give you years in jail. As a civil servant and supposed upholder of the law they should be held to the same standard if not a stricter one.
This pussy needs to be rotting in ass rape prison. - wtfmate112, on 08/09/2008, -18/+130He was guilty... of being black.
- dpb1994, on 08/09/2008, -3/+94The sad truth is that the executive arm of state and local governments all across our land are not exactly getting a great example in constitutional value protection reinforced by the guys at the top of the political food chain. Think torturing of detainees by the feds doesn't have an effect on all of us? Think again.
- inactive, on 08/09/2008, -34/+120Police officers behave this way because they tend to have very small genitals.
I had many good friends who worked in emergency medicine... while attending one party, someone brought up the "race and penis size" issue. After some discussion about race and penises, one woman brought up something i had never heard from any of them before - she mentioned something about police officers almost always having very small penises. Several people mentioned personal anecdotes about treating police officers, and how they almost always had a very small penis. Apparently this is some sort of running inside joke in the medical professions. I asked them if they were serious, and they said yes, it is common knowledge that police officers usually have very small penises and testes. These people would know since they have to give physicals to them and also deal with them in emergency situations. As one of them put it "If we get a call that there is a police officer coming into our trauma ward, we immediately know we'll need a catheter from the pediatric ward."
I think this may help explain the behavior we see caught on tape from time to time. - inactive, on 08/09/2008, -10/+91The police are simply another armed gang of thugs like the Crips or whatever. I teach my children to treat all gangs the same; don't trust them, don't talk to them, try to avoid being anywhere near them. They are bad road.
- FlaG8r, on 08/10/2008, -2/+73How ***** stupid do cops have to be to still not realize that cameras are everywhere now?
- ryan83189, on 08/10/2008, -3/+53At least he was fired and charged for something. Beating a kid that is laying on the ground, putting up no resistance at all is nothing but a power trip.
- IDIGTHEDIGG, on 08/10/2008, -5/+51This is getting insane already. Cops have double standards and it isnt fair. They also think they are above the law.Look at videos like this that make me hate arrogant cops.

- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -16/+571. Sue Police Department
2. Collect $10 Million
3. Buy a House on the beach
4. Use $100k to hire some NS18 gang members to break officer ***** legs and arms after raping him with a crowbar
5. Happiness - charm803, on 08/10/2008, -1/+39That's the great thing about the digital age.
Everyone has a camera or camera phone and cops can keep being dirty, but now, they are going to get caught!
But seriously, this was caught on the dash cam....
How stupid are the cops that they were caught by their own camera! - Xyrx, on 08/10/2008, -8/+41If you watch into punch 6 or 7, one of the other WHITE officers looks like he's on the lookout to see if anyone is watching them pound that kid. I think the kid wasn't innocent, but man... 1 white cop pounding away, and 2 other white cops looking on while 1 black kid gets physically assaulted... it's hard to deny what that looks like.
- BooLag, on 04/23/2009, -0/+29They're cops...
Remember that article a while ago about the guy with average IQ that wasn't even considered for a police job because they were looking for even dumber candidates? - wexmajor, on 08/10/2008, -0/+28You're not allowed to defend yourself when dealing with cops. They once tased a seven year old kid to death for trying to defend his mother. Some people are more equal under the eyes of the law than others.
- mikephimikephi, on 08/10/2008, -10/+38ughh, windows media player
- BooLag, on 04/23/2009, -3/+30LOL, I call BS on that one but if it's still hilarious.
- Clodhopper, on 08/10/2008, -2/+26Well I guess technically your mom's basement is underground...
- unclecaveman, on 08/10/2008, -1/+22This is a free country? You sure?
- fraggle35, on 08/10/2008, -1/+22I was once walking home after a night drinking when a Police car pulled up and the ***** asked me where I'd been, I told him I'd been at his house ***** his wife, I got a good kicking and was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. I suppose it may have been my fault.
- RVDsb, on 08/10/2008, -6/+26Its all those damn video games... being able to play as a cop and do whatever they want. Maybe cops need to stop playing video games and go outside.
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -1/+21EVERY SINGLE ***** DAY we see an example of police brutality EVERY SINGLE DAY A NEW HEADLINE - why take a chance?
- zadadka, on 08/10/2008, -0/+19Agreed.
Surely they are each an accessory?
I normally defend those that put their lives on the line to Protect and Serve, but this is blatant brutality, and the other cops should have stopped it escalating quicker than a greyhound on a rabbit. - aljitech1, on 08/10/2008, -5/+23http://mfile.akamai.com/12936/wmv/vod.ibsys.com/20 ...
- digitaldivinci, on 08/10/2008, -5/+23I am curious why they didn't show the video leading up to the beating. Granted there isn't any reason to beat a person, who is currently consenting no less, 13 times and then some, but what caused such a reaction?
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -1/+18The guy gets caught by his own video camera. Smart guy.
- Dundasbro, on 08/10/2008, -4/+21Are your CTRL, C and V keys more worn out than any other keys on your keyboard?
- BooLag, on 04/23/2009, -2/+19He stole their doughnut?
- Abram730, on 08/10/2008, -0/+17This is the first time I heard of a COP getting fired for this kind of thing.
Do you think the Cops that tasered that kid 19 times after he fell off the bridge and broke his back and broke his heel off were fired? Nope "He refused to comply" "They had to".. "he was making incoherent statements".. "They were concerned".. "To keep him from getting hurt"
I'm guessing with the broken back stand up was the command he was unable to comply with.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpzn4ST0C9E - unclecaveman, on 08/10/2008, -4/+21Oh really? Some people deserve to be tasered and then some??
Shut ***** up. Seriously.
There are OBVIOUSLY cases where force is needed and a taser could come into use, no one doubts that, jackass. But tasers have gone from something used to deal with out-of-control and dangerous criminals to a tool used when someone doesn't do what a cop wants. Examples include pregnant women, the famous "Don't tase me bro!" guy, minorities acting suspiciously, and many more.
Cops use tasers more than Diggers use tired memes. What will it take for this disturbing trend to reverse itself? - kenplaysviola, on 08/10/2008, -0/+16Typical police disciplining action: paid administrative leave while investigation happens, a report will go in their personnel file, they will go through re-training, and then they will be back on the job and people will forget what happened.
- wexmajor, on 08/10/2008, -0/+16No, we just FOUND OUT that they're ***** insane. This and worse was going on back then. We just didn't know about it because cameras were comparitively rare and unwieldy.
- sodade, on 08/10/2008, -0/+16The problem is that there are not enough good cops left due to a culture of corruption. How many times have you heard of a police brutality claim by an LEO against another LEO? If the cops can't even police themselves, then they are, as a whole, a corrupt organization.
- themadness, on 08/10/2008, -4/+19To be honest if a cop starts beating up on me I'll take a whack at the ***** myself. The way they're going on these days it'll pretty much be self defence.
- eyepatch100, on 08/10/2008, -1/+16I try to include the 'happiness' step in all of my to-do-lists.
- bjornski, on 08/10/2008, -0/+15He's using an official 4chan keyboard.
http://yogan.meinungsverstaerker.de/fun/official_4 ... - inactive, on 08/10/2008, -2/+17Wild guess here, but I'd say ol' pencil-dick Dragular has a pig as a relative or he just signed up for the academy.
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -0/+15Perhaps another cop got tired of the cop's his antics and decided record it. I find it hard to believe Brian Tollison only did this once.
- fartbarker, on 08/10/2008, -3/+17I don't care how many times you copy and paste this, I will always green thumb it!
- dstz, on 08/10/2008, -0/+14"This is a free country? You sure?"
Yeah because your cops don't beat up dissidents. They just kick the crap out of random people. - unclecaveman, on 08/10/2008, -0/+14@ Dragular
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/18/national/18TASER ...
Some highlights-
"A 2002 company study found that nearly 85 percent of people shocked with Tasers were unarmed. Fewer than 5 percent were carrying guns."
"A 2002 study in Greene County, Mo., found that Tasers were only marginally more effective than pepper spray at restraining suspects. Pepper spray worked in 91 percent of cases, while the Taser had a 94 percent success rate." - waynetheman, on 08/10/2008, -0/+14Then they'll just shoot you.
No, no, we're not a *police* state yet... whatever gave you that idea? - Dragular, on 08/10/2008, -2/+16THAT is what I understand the LEAST. This is a ***** DASH MOUNTED video camera. I usually jump in yelling whenever people go, "Oh, cops are all stupid," but Jesus Christ, why is it the few who ARE idiots are such BLATANT IDIOTS.
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -1/+15Well played sir....
- lordtyros, on 08/10/2008, -0/+14LOL cops have been harassing black people ever since they discovered their existence. They're natural enemies, like wasps and spiders.
- waynetheman, on 08/10/2008, -0/+13That's the scariest part... they KNOW there are cameras everywhere. And they don't care. Because they know they can do almost whatever they want and can, typically, still get away with it.
- meinrosebud, on 08/10/2008, -3/+16All communities MUST provide proper supervision of all law enforcement. Law Enforcement members MUST be aware that they are not above the law and that they are not judge or jury when it comes to apprehension and arrest.
Anti-police comments might make you sick but they are caused by the actions of someone who has failed to uphold the community trust and unfortunately this poisons the well for all Police. - Tishiablo, on 08/10/2008, -2/+15lol
- positron, on 08/10/2008, -0/+13So it's OK for cops to go around looking for people who break laws but it's not alright for people to go around looking for cops who break laws?
