Yep, that looked like a pretty bad one. I'm sure it happens more than we would care to think. Kid put his hands on his head (I feel sure they instructed him to do so) and then they still stomped the crap out of him. Blatant. Shameful.

Granted, they had been chasing him for a while, and we can't hear what was being said at the time, but it appeared that he was surrendering. But as they say, there are 2 sides to every story.

Things like that are happening way to often anymore.
HeII they ran him down in the car first before they beat the cr@p out of him.
I can't even wach that stupid show COPS because of the cr@p they do show. Ticks me off. Makes you wonder with what they do show, what do they NOT show.

Last year we had a kid fell jumped off an overpass here. Cops tazerd him 9 different times saying he was trying to get up and move into traffic and wouldnt follow their commands.
Kid had broke his neck and back when he fell and couldnt get up.
So much for 'moveing into traffic', eh?
Got to the point the ONLY cops i even half way trust is the state bulls. Got NO USE for our local sherriffs department or the city police.

Funny how people youve known for years put on a badge and suddenly their better then everyone else, almost 'god like'.... in their own minds anyway. Roll Eyes

I guess I'm lucky that I lived in an LEO family during the Police Glory Days. I agree that some Police are way out of hand with their attitude toward the public. We should never be afraid of those sworn to serve and protect us. We now have Cops on patrol in upper income suburbia wearing tactical SWAT style gear. Just watch the show COPS. Their use of force for minor non-violent offenses is blatant.

My memories when my Dad was a Cop in NYC around the 70's early 80's are pretty clear. Cops were really just guys from the neighborhood. Many a day and night a Patrol Car would stop in front of our home, 2 Cops running up to our door, and kind of smirk as Mom got them a couple of beers from the fridge. They'd look at us kids and say "Shhhhh" with a smile as the drank a quick one before heading back out.

Driving while drunk? Ok, it is bad, but Cops back then may drive you home, or call someone to come get you instead of throwing you to the ground and putting a knee behind your head. Get nailed with a little weed? Cops would dump it out in front of you

Times have changed. The justice system is one of the biggest cash cows for an state or local municipality.

Katrina/New Orleans really brought to light some of the current problems we have now days. The overbearing heavy handedness of many LEOs.
The NRA STILL has a major lawsuit going for the thousands of firearms illegaly confiscated from private citizens in new orleans.
They were running around in full tactical gear with full auto in groups. Anyone who tried to carry who went in to help with rescue by bringing their own boats got THEIR firearms confiscated. Then were expected to do the rescues unescorted. Make sense??

The last 15 years or so our local sherriffs department has just went downhill drasticly. Cant get em to come out on a call. If you do get em out its an hour or more after you need em. And you cant trust em.
City cops are just as bad. Springfield isnt much better.
The MO State patrol on the other hand is pretty decent, you can trust them.

This summer i got a visit from our local sherriffs department. Accused of being a peeping tom for an 80+ year old half nuts neighbor with alzheimers(sp). No evidance other then her word. They told the ole lady id be arressted if it happened again even though i had three family members vouch i was nowhere around when it 'supposedly' happened.
They went to my mothers house, not mine.
Two trips to the sherriffs office and i 'think' i finaly got em squared away. Threats of a lawsuit for harassment and false arresst may of helped.
Bad part is her boy and his wife live next door to her across the street from mom and knew her problems. Lied to me about it, even made one of the calls for her. Knew d@mn well it was bogus.
So now good relations and years of helping each other have went out the window, i wont have anything to do with them.
Top it all off she had a spotlight mounted that shines across the road on my MOTHERS fromt gate every night. I HATE that d@mn thing.
'I' Live over on the backside of the farm, nowhere near them. Go figure.

Used to the cops would give a kid a break on a beer or two, lil weed ect. Not anymore. Seems like they go out of their way to bust a young kids chops and mess up their life, give em a record. Or shoot them.
They started raiding river parties under the last sherriff years ago when he first got elected. One night a deputy stepped out in front of a car trynig to leave, pulled his gun and shot a kid in the head claiming he was 'trying to run him down'. It was bogus(many witnesses) and the only thing that ever happened was the deputy was quietly fired a couple of weeks later.

NO, LEOs are'nt what they used to be. Half my family has been law enforcement. Many of them have moved on due to being pressured to write more tickets or other unsavory actions they have been prompted to commit.
The days of sensible law enforcement are long gone. Its all about power and money now, not justice and common sense.

In 1956, when I was 6 years old, I got in an argument with my best friend and threw a small rock at him. It hit him in the forehead and he dabbed the blood with his brand new sued Davey Crockett jacket. This made him mad and he picked up a stick so big he could hardly carry it , and chased me around the block. Two rookie cops stopped us and told us they would "throw you both in jail for the rest of your lives if you don't stop!" It scarred the pee out of both of us (literally)! After that every time I saw a cop I would run home and hide under the bed. When it got to the point that I refused to go to school because there was a cop crossing guard, my parents raised a stink. A Sargent came to the house to talk to me and my parents but as soon as I saw the car I zipped under the bed and refused to come out. The Sargent came back the next day (under the bed I went) and spent an hour talking to me sitting on the floor of my room. He finally coaxed me out by removing the bullets from his gun and offering to let me play with it for a few minutes. The next day he gave me a ride to school in his squad car, even letting me run the siren. Way cool! He told my parent that police had enough trouble with kids without creating distrust. He disciplined the rookies, who came with him to apologize. He went on to become the best police chief this city ever had. His name was Fred Bruce.
That wouldn't happen these days.
