Excessive force?

[Mitchell0481]

My buddy sent me this clip. Shows a cop take down a kid. What do you think about how the officer acted?

Excessive force is an archaic term, not relevant today as there is no such thing.

ok boys. let's just whip 'em out and measure. jeez louise everybody calm down and find the freaking criminals.

Young guy was a bit of a smart ass, bit imo that didn't warrant the cop putting him on the ground like that. Cop was a dick, probably won't be considered excessive force though.

If you want to be a d*ck to a Marine, you BETTER expect to be slapped around some. I'd say the guy got the attitude adjustment that he deserved.

Typical of what "youngsters" have for an attitude these days.

Only problem is that he wasn't wearing a Marine uniform. He was wearing a LEO uniform.

marine

how could anyone tell he was a marine from him wearing a cop uniform. And secondly, what does him being a marine have to do with anything?

Because a soldier and a marine were having a stick measuring contest.

ah.

Both of em seem like first class rear orifices. The cop more so because he had his buddy there and they'd haul the kid to jail. Kid really couldn't fight back without getting in trouble. Cop is there to serve and should have apologized for taking so long to calm the situation down.

Are you serious?

Why not? Posers with Marine tattoos deserve to have the tattoos cut off of them.

Hah...So I've heard. Some of the folks on here scare the hell outta me, and that is not a compliment.

 

[You'll shoot your eye out]

Fired and then prosecuted....... That's my opinion. OOOOHHHHH! he was a Marine? I'm sorry, that gave him a right to commit a completely unwarranted assault and battery while acting under the authority of the state! (belongs in prison like I would be for that criminal behavior)

Let me get this right, I pay your salary, I pay for your retirement , I pay for the training you have went thru, your job is to serve and protect, but your not on my time schedule ? Lets all say that to our employers tomorrow and let me know what happens. Gotta call it like I see it, kid was jacked up cause he just got robbed and beat up, and officer Friendly , falling back on the intense training he's had on this situation decides the best course of action would be to grab his throat and beat him up some more! One thing worse then a jerk, a jerk with a badge!!

As I mentioned in another thread, they were both out of line.

That said, I still think this country was a better place when a man needed to be prepared to back up what he said to someone rather than expecting to be able to run their suck and hide behind (insert whichever authority figure you please) for protection. Folks treated others with a lot more respect than they do today.

The guy postured up and the officer mitigated the problem before it escalated. When the guy calmed down he was let up and then they continued. Problem solved. His stating he was a Marine didn't need to be spoken but in the long run no taser or fist fight. Problem solved.

Wow...

 

[sticks4walking]

Yeah, looks like a lawsuit in the making.

 

[Rbadger]

just wow
I had a rant that I had written out but lets be honest. The cop was a jerk. End of story. He initiated a physical confrontation with a man who CANNOT strike him. Is THAT what being a Marine is? I had hoped for better. This guy has no right being behind a badge.
