Cop Punches Victim. Crime? Frustration at Long Response Time


Recommended Posts

This is a surprisingly well done report. In the following videos, a victim, who was assaulted and illegally evicted by his roommates, gets punched by a cop after voicing his displeasure at such a long response time. The least they could've done was attempt to defuse the situation, instead of looking for a fight. While the caller was being a jackass, he didn't deserve to be assaulted for the second time that hour, especially the people who he called to help. Probably one of the few commendable officers in that department was the one that sent in the report to the news.

What's the point of these type of topics? Bunch of opinions from people who are not in Law Enforcement and don't understand use of force? Your last statement is insulting to the officers who died by the hands of that P.O.S.

The point of these topics is opening up discussions on use of force. While not many of us are in LE, it is easy to determine when something is overdone.

 

Also, sorry if I offended anyone about the last statement. I'm not insulting the officers who have died. I am offering an explanation as to why people are cheering on the cop killings (which I don't support).

I think we've gathered that from experience, these threads just end up turning into massive flame wars.

 

I'll be monitoring the posts on here closely, any thread that attacks another member or attempts to invoke a reaction will be removed and the user warned.

 

Keep it clean guys.

I understand. I was simply trying to get a gauge on this community's thoughts on things like this. If flame wars start, have no hesitation locking this thread and deleting it.

If you mouth off to some random person on the street, you might get punched; I could certainly understand being pissed off if I show up somewhere and the person there is complaining that I was slow. However, I'm not a cop. Police are given much more trust and authority, and they absolutely have to be held to a higher standard.

EDIT: Whatever the "last line" was, since it's gone, posts talking about it are confusing. Could a mod hide those posts?

Alright, in my opinion, BOTH were in the wrong, the cop was wrong by stepping up to the guy like that and the guy was also wrong for getting in the cops face, the cop also didnt have to punch him, he could of simply pushed him away. Both were wrong.

Eh.. It's not really that confusing and it shows that he has edited it. The posts also reference on how this could evolve into a flame war which Harper speaks upon. Not to mention the members can just edit their post to remove the reference to the line c13 made but that is up to them. Most people should catch on.

I really don't think the officer over did anything here, the guy stepped, and got dropped, simple as that, the officer showed him whose in control of the situation, more cops should be like that instead of beating the shit out of people to get the point across, the cop even made a report about it AND isn't going to press charges, if that young soldier wasn't such a hot head full of piss and vinegar he would have just shut the fuck up and di what he was told like he was trained to do in the military, simple.

@slimory - But that's not OK. Assault is a crime; you can't just go around punching people when you want to. It's not an issue of the *cop* pressing charges; the question is if the guy he punched can press charges. Police need to stay in control of the situation, but there are ways of doing that without force. If he did need to use force, punching is the wrong way to do it; there are forms of physical force that are much better at controlling someone, while punching is designed to hurt someone.

@DD: That's what I want to know. That's often the case in these videos, but I don't want to assume it happened here.

There is no evidence on camera that he even punched him, looked to me like he choked him out and held him down until he calmed down, that kind of force should be acceptable by any forces' standards, especially against someone with military training, the cop made an example out of him.

He means that, if you had watched the news report that was linked before the unedited video, you would learn that the guy called the cops because his roommates evicted him and assaulted him in the process. Being angry in that type of situation is perfectly acceptable, especially when the police take so long to show up. An attempt to defuse the situation, maybe explaining why they couldn't come sooner, would've been better than walking up to him and inviting a reaction.

That cop flat out assaulted that guy simply because he didn't like the guy pointing out that it took for ever to get to the call.  Cops like that give good cops a bad name.  He should be charged with felonious assault and thrown off the force.  If he were not a cop he'd go to fucking jail!  That is bullshit.  I'd sue their asses and win.

 

Any decent cop would never defend a piece of shit like that guy in the video.

Good day.

I honestly think, "why get involved in topics of discussion like this?". It can never end well. As for who is right and who is wrong here, I cannot tell based on the video alone. There has to be additional factors that we will never see because people only look at what was on video. Nobody likes to THINK anymore...

 

That's my opinion.
