Please Justify This Police Action For Me

[onlinebiker]

You act as if this happened in a vacuum.


....

Sure the cops did an absolute bonehead, unforgivable thing.

It was in response to a kid who had been trained to act that way..


Will you acknowledge that?

I can’t acknowledge that because I don’t know it to be true. And neither do you. Do you have some special insight into the dynamics of this particular family, or are you making a blanket statement based on her skin tone?

Boru

I am basing it on her reaction.

As a kid - I was her age during the riots in the late 60's - and was taught by my dad - DO NOT RESIST COPS.... Very simply you WILL lose. No if. You WILL lose. The number of lumps on your head and body are inversely proportional to how much you resist.

...

If her parents didn't teach her the same - they are morons. They should have been maced - not the poor kid.

There is no justification.  Especially with a half dozen cops on scene and no one stood up to be a voice of reason.  That's a mob.  A small mob, but a mob nonetheless.

You have to hope one of them at least had a flicker of "this is not okay" going through their mind.

I imagine homelife is swell with this crew.  

There should be some collecting of badges and whoever is in charge should be soon looking for a job elsewhere.

In some areas unjustified use of force can be prosecuted as assault. Dunno in this jurisdiction....

Probably will be if allowable.
