And before any of you say anything, I have been thrown down
stairs
in
cuffs by a piece of **** pig just like this..
This fat fu**er needs to be put down like the rabid animal he
is...
The only ones in the video that did the right thing were the kids
that kept
their mouths shut. The cop shouldn't have gotten physical. The kid
shouldn't
have mouthed off to the cop. It would have played out much
differently if
the kid showed respect for authority, even if feigned.
What? A person isn't allowed to voice their concerns over the cops
actions?

Oh, contraire!

The vid is on Youtube, and no doubt the cop probably got fired or
suspended and maybe even sued. The kid voiced his opinion and won.

i suppose my point is, that the situation was unnecessary and could
easily have been avoided. The kid probably didn't know btter, and
the
cop should have known better.

bad deal all around.

The cop got suspended WITH PAY. I would expect a lawsuit soon. NO
matter how disrespectful the kid was the cop acted like a bigger
child
than the kid.

Would you apportion the blame for this incident all on the cop or does
it
need to be spread around a little?

The kid should be cited for and if he broke a law, calling a cop "Dude"
is
not illegal. The cop should be held 100% responsible for his abuse of
power, totally losing control of his emotions and throwing down the kid
without any reason.

That's not what I asked. Sure, the cop should be held accountable for his
actions which were a bit over reactive. The little urchin needs to be
educated on becoming a responsible member of society. His training should
have started 12 years ago.- Hide quoted text -

Get real, what did the kid do? Call the cop "dude" while the cop was
threatening him? I hope you did not raise your kids to bully someone
and then beat them for not running scared...

A little Yes sir, No sir, I'm sorry sir would have diffused that situation
real quick. An attitude has a negative effect when dealing with cops. I am
sure you have learned that lesson by now.

BINGO!

An *attitude* also has a negative effect in most aspects of life.- Hide quoted text -

An attitude is no reason to beat a kid up, even my kids know that they
can not fight over words....

Exactly, but you seem to have had nothing but bad experiences with cops.
I've got two brothers that were cops, both retired now, and I think they
were and are pretty good people.

It's a shame all your experiences have been as you describe them.

But, listen to JimH when he talks about 'attitude'. He knows a lot about it
and how it can affect your karma.
