Suspected of 2 hit and runs, with coke in her system, driving withaut the licence, attempted escape after being cought. He could have shot her and I wouldn't shed a single tear. Such trash deserves the worst, if she would keep doing this she would more likely run someone over, if she already didin't. I hope she will remain a vegetable and I applaud the policeman.Blablahb said:How could he be cleared of all wrongdoings when he used a weapon on a cuffed person, whom he should just have run after?
Yes, he is an obese slob unfit for police duty, who should be sacked for being too fat, and he could never catch anyone running away from him because he chooses to overeat heavily, and if he hadn't used the weapon, she would have escaped, but that doesn't excuse the excessive use of weapons. If he chooses to be obese and can't catch someone, and the police allow that kind of disfunctional police officers to work, the consequence should be people getting away, and not people getting shot or tased because the police is too fat to run after them.
Normally for such a fall I'd say it is an unfortunate but unintentional consequence that shouldn't be met with punishment, but in this case the fattie knew she couldn't catch herself, and still made the decision to do that to her, thus the brain injury becomes his direct fault.
He got away unpunished with manslaughter here.
So let me get this straight: You say that if somebody takes a step, that legitimises murdering them?Rednog said:No real sympathy, a bunch of priors and coke/oxycontin in her system and running from the cops.
Comply with the damn cops and don't complain that you get hurt when you resist arrest.
She would of twisted her torso, broken free from his grip and escape custody.Arkaniack said:Now think - 45 kg woman vs 117kg fatty. What if he chased her, grabbed her hand and stopped? Worst case - twisted arm, bruised knee.
*read your post*michael87cn said:*peeks into thread*
A bunch of adults talking about how a little girl that seems to be about 6 or 7 years old deserved to be tasered for running away from a giant of a man with a weapon.
Hmmmmm... people just continue to be monsters..
Lazy cop should have chased her. He used overly lethal force for what was a perfectly safe situation.
*sigh*
Disgusting all around. The people in here... and the people in that video... PEOPLE IN GENERAL DISGUST ME.
or you know, not breaking the law in the first place.Blablahb said:That's plain stupid to say. You face years and years in prison under barbaric conditions for something as small as drug possesion, the cop they send after you is an obese slob who can never keep up, and you say running is a weird choice?Jonluw said:Yeah, using the taser was unnecessary.
However, I can't feel bad for her, as she was clearly already sufficiently brain damaged to try to run from a cop after being handcuffed.
Running is the only logical choice in that situation.
Are you aware that Rodney King had been involved in a high-speed chase right before the beating? Or that five hours after the beating his blood came back with a blood-alcohol content just below the legal limit (meaning he was well over said limit during and prior to the beating) as well as traces of marijuana? Or that he had admitted that he ran because a DUI would violate his parole for a robbery conviction?Blablahb said:Would you also defend the Rodney King beating as being totally justified?
what?Dumbfish1 said:And of course, anyone who thinks differently to you is obviously braindamaged, because you're so perfect with your human compassion and tolerance.Jonluw said:Resisting arrest, running away from an armed officer of the law who is attempting to keep you immobilized, is the only logical option?Blablahb said:That's plain stupid to say.

I don't know what kind of logic you subscribe to, but that certainly isn't what I would've done.
I'm the kind of person who has a lot of experience with the police. An officer bringing my brother home from one incident or another was a nearly weekly occurrence from when he was 14 until he went to military school. I knew every officer in my hometown by name in high school. In college, I got a job as a security guard, again working with police officers on bigger events. They're not monsters or out to hurt people. But society has laws, and it is their job to uphold them and let the rest of us go about our lives. They provide a very important service to society, and they get spat on and hated for it.NuclearShadow said:Now if you cannot really sympathize with that than I actually feel sorry for you and perhaps you should take a minute to ponder just what type of person you are.
Actually it's another one of those "everyone jumps to defend criminally incompetent cop on the grounds that all cops are highly trained professionals doing an important job that puts them beyond all criticism, plus savagely beating a person is cool as long as they're a criminal" threads.will1182 said:Oh god, another one of these "HEARTLESS MONSTER COP MUNCHES ON BABY'S SKULL" threads.
Um... she wouldn't of been able to catch herself even if she didn't have handcuffs on.psyks said:Case in point; tasers can be just as lethal as firearms. This wasn't an inescapable accident. She was running away, high, in handcuffs. The cop could have judged that she wouldn't have been able to catch herself as she fell, but because the taser is being lauded as the "non lethal answer to the gun", police officers feel like they have the right to use it with impunity. This is what happens. Stupid fucking cop made a lazy decision and now a woman is in hospital.
I give the police no credit for not shooting people, I'd rather raise standards and have only a few good cops for a while then leave them where we are and deal with the sloppy meat-heads that seem to fill every department.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:Maybe busting out the taser was unnecessary since, well, she was right there, but on the other hand she was running. So yeah. Unfortunate, but shit happens.
Plus, you have to give the cop credit for remembering he was a taser and not busting out the gun and shooting her in the chest 10 times. Thats an improvement over what we have seen recently.
