    Some will say he had it coming since he was trying to rob a storage building, but come one now.

    watch closely. Some idiot left his police car in gear after jumping out to join in, and it keeps moving forward to hit another police car.

    :rolleyes:

    It's disappointing that America allows criminals to sue law enforcement. Don't want to get beat? Don't commit a crime.

    Yeah. Pretty shameful.

    Certainly a valid point, but it looks pretty clear to me that the guy had surrendered after getting clipped by the car. So pounce on him. Hold him. It might even hurt, and I'm fine with it hurting. In fact, I hope it hurts. But the followup beating is, to me, excessive.

    He didn't try to rob a storage building, they merely caught him near a storage building after he led them on a chase.

    He robbed a person's home. And I actually believe he got off lucky. If he had attempted to rob mine or many others houses he might have ended up dead.

    You play with fire, you get burned. Any criminal violating someone's property knowingly accepts the risk of being hurt or killed. So he caught a beating, so what? I'm glad to see it. Screw him.

    That's terrible. Seriously there was absolutely no need for that.

    A foot chase or a car chase? With that many cars around, looks like it was a car chase? It's probably an unwritten rule that if you try to run in a car and put other citizens in jeopardy of a crash, you are going to get beaten.

    btw: there seems to be a second suspect in the background. See the two late arriving cops realize they can't get in on the action with the one guy, so they run to the background, apparently to get in on something else.

    Idiot overzealous officers empowering a suspected criminal with their abuses. A complete disappointment.

    Yes, let's let the police be judge, jury and executioner! What could possibly go wrong? Sorry, but that is not they way the legal system works here people.

    Most of the bleeding heart pansies criticizing this need to be victimized by a thug like this. They would change their tune pretty quickly.

    I've been victimized but I have never wanted to see anybody get beaten for it. That's not the way the law works here, sorry.

    Yes yes, hate the police. It's the cool thing to do

    Maybe someone should go make a "This is why I don't trust Black/White/Asian/Latinos/Hippies" thread and post a video of someone getting beat up by them too

    It's called free speech. If you have a problem with that I suggest moving to Egypt or Russia. Idiot :mad:

    Posted in that thread. Didn't realize it was D&D. That's a whole different universe than the hangout.

    -These cops should be behind bars.

    You idiots cheering for the out-of-control pigs in this video better hope you never get mistaken for a criminal - and it DOES happen.

    At least you recognize the truth of the matter - cops have nothing to do with "justice" and everything to do with protecting the property of the middle and upper classes from people in the lower classes.

    This is not law enforcement, this is a group of juiced-up meatheads beating someone who isn't allowed or capable of fighting back. What tough cops! They are so powerful and strong! How admirable! These cops probably think they're total badasses - but most of them couldn't win a fight if they were alone in street clothes. They'd probably **** themselves.
