My ass. If the perp is on the ground and RESTRAINED the beating/"subduing" should cease. They are on the ground and restrained. They aren't going anywhere. Why keep hitting them?

The tragedy is, it's both.

There really ARE good cops and bad cops.

Bornright, you HAVE to concede that brutality and other iffy/dicey/not right practices among law enforcement not only occur, they seem to be on the rise. There ARE bullies run amok in law enforcement. A mother of three who was handcuffed behind her back with the handcuffs shackled to a bench was "officially" ruled to have probably accidentally strangled herself in a holding cell in the Phoenix airport. Yes, she was drunk and belligerent...so we let her accidentally die in police custody?

Another drunk and disorderly woman, this one in a Florida interrogation room, has a busted up face AFTER the surveillance camera shows the police brute turn off the surveillance camera, whereupon the man in uniform says that she fell.

It's outta hand.

On the flip side, liberals should sit through ONE Parents of Murdered Children ceremony before they are so quick to defend criminals. There are people who rape and sodomize and dissect and cannibalize other humans for fucking sport in a society that saw fit to save money, under Ronald Reagan, by literally throwing the loonies out of the asylum.

There is a whole sub-culture that transacts business pretty much at gun point.

Law enforcement, like the teachers of our children, should be handsomely paid...AFTER they are carefully screened.

These are positions that should command greatest respect and appreciation but here, in America, it's the opposite.

I agree, but for the record, I am not defending the actions of the three in the car. I am simply appalled at the actions of the cops in the video.

What's 'liberal' where you live Tex? Only one ammo belt across the shoulder?

Please give us more pro police brutality anecdotes.

I'd say three cops on your back is restraint. I know it isn't the chains and red hot pokers you'd love to use them but they were restrained. Are you aware of anything? other than your own myopia?
