I don't get why the cops aren't doing anything while some guy is filming?
^Motherfuck this is disturbing, people should start fighting back.
kicking someone in the face while he's down is assault with a deadly weapon in Canada
It depends on the context.
The video doesn't show us everything and we don't know what's going on.
If that suspect had an arrest warrant and it's coded 'armed and dangerous' the police officer's action is justified according to his risk assessment (or if he can justify it later). In that kind of scenario the thread has to be neutralized right away by putting him in a prone position but if a subject is resistant they can use force
Also often we see videos of police pounding a guy that's already on the ground, well yes it looks like excessive force but what if the suspect is not following orders, what if he's holding a weapon and won't show his hands?
It's very easy to scream foul play when the video's shot and shows us only one side of the story.
Following orders? You sound like someone who's actually for this police brutality shit... There was zero risk assessment, just like 99.9% of police encounters. They whip out their guns and if you don't comply you either get beaten like a defenseless dog or murdered... ALL IN THE NAME OF THE ALL MIGHTY FUCKING JUSTICE SYSTEM!!
This cop should be publicly executed.
From what I heard in the video he was in possession of a firearm, Went to a golf course and threatened someone, started firing warning shots? Either way, This course of action the police took was as always ridiculously overpowering Who is it that gives these fucking blue suited clowns the right to act as god and murder you if you don't comply?
Change is going to come, very soon. We won't have this "Policy" to comply to anymore, Only peace officers upholding what they're supposed to - Peace
Executed? are you for real man?
Some people really annoy me on this board with all this extremist bullshit.
"me bro, if that was me, i would go to my house, get my gun and kill him in front of his family".
Was the cop wrong? fuck yeah. do i think he should be punished? fuck yeah. but publicly executed? come on man, get real.
