Police Brutality

I don't know about you, but I hope this fat ******* gets hit on the side of the highway during a routine traffic stop. Those other two fat *** cops were really concerned about her health too, eh? Protect and serve.

Hear what the president of the Police Association had to say:

Protect your own, hero.

I wonder what the whole story is. Why was she being pursued in the first place? Why did she try to flee instead of allowing herself to be arrested?

Also the officer was holding his head in the video. Did he get hit or something?

We just don't have enough information to make any sort of judgement or than it is a tragedy that she is in a coma.

Youtube comments seem to hint towards the fact that she was fleeing from the scene of an accident...? Apparently was convicted for other crimes as well. I will also reserve judgement until I know the whole story, but this is still a massive blunder from that city's police force. If you're not fit enough to chase after a criminal on foot, then you shouldn't be a police officer.

How true. Unfortunately, that's all too common. I wonder how often police officers have to re-qualify in their physical tests? I think boondocksaints is a cop. Maybe he can shed some light into that.

I agree. Certain jobs just require certain physcal requirements. Police officers, military, firemen, hooters girls...

I was expecting to see some serious brutality here, but alas, all I saw was some moron running from the cops who then got tazed. What exactly is wrong with that video? Even NOT knowing all of the details, you've got clear evidence of a suspect fleeing. What if it turned out that that girl had just drown her two sons and was threatening to run into the middle of traffic? Stupid example, but seriously, how/why anyone is upset at the police about this is mystifying.

Nothing new from the pigs in this country. They've always been criminally abusive with their power, fat, intellectually limited, corrupt and fraudulent public servants. Much like the politicians in this country, there won't be any change. The pool of citizens the police force and politics has to draw from is risibly noxious.

It is nice that with the increase in accessibility to cell phone cameras/flip cams the pigs have been exposed for so many unthinkable acts to the public. But that hasn't really helped fix the issue. It's gotten those specific morons fired, or even arrested themselves, but it doesn't change the fact the rest of the force will always be made up of totalitarian zealots.

Just pure crap. Start to finish. Are there bad cops? Sure there are and they need to be removed from their jobs. But to just claim they are all bad is pure crap. Just remember this when it is a cop that saves you or a loved one some day.

What's mystifying is you and every other American who accepts police brutality and submits to it without question.

Being a fleeing suspect has never justified excessive use of force unless there is imminent danger. This lady was running from a police station, apparently because fat *** there was too fat and too lazy to lock her up correctly. The arrest was made several weeks after a hit and run that she was suspected in. There was no danger to the police or anyone else, and the officer could have easily subdued her. His excuse was that he worried tackling her to the ground would have been more harmful than tazing her. By the way, she was in handcuffs.

She has been in a coma ever since (5 months).

Remember when the Tazer was presented as an alternative to shooting someone or beating them senseless with a night stick?

Now, apparently, for fat cops, it's an alternative to having to chase someone.

At the risk of sounding like an insensitive jerk, the video doesn't look bad at all, the results from her being tazed are very unfortunate to say the least.
With that said I'm sure the cop knew and intended for her to be in a coma when he tazed her because he obviously knew it happens all the time, I mean just look at all the other tazer induced coma patients it's a epidemic sweeping across the nation.

I understand there is ROE and how much force can be used, he didn't fire a gun that could potentially kill her or others in the area, he didn't use any force once she was subdued he called for help as he should've. If people think there is no repercussions running from the law then that can cause a much much bigger issue, heck he was a big dude if he tackled her she likely would've had much more physical damage done to her. A tazer is a commonly used device to subdue people, again it's just unfortunate that she ended up in a coma.

I mostly agree but people just want to hate on the cops.
