Re: Yeouch!
the cop was out of line, but the guy that got kicked was a criminal. He just put several peoples lives in danger by running from the cops, driving in the wrong lane, blowing through intersections. imagine if that guy killed someone you knew. Kicking the guy in the head wasn't the problem...the problem is that the camera saw him do it!
working as a paramedic for the past several years i've seen the cops put the beat down on a few different people....and in my experience all of those people deserved it long before it happened.
The cop was wrong, but compared to what the criminal just did a boot to the head seems like a pretty small thing.
in those last 2 video's it doesn't seem like the cops did anything wrong....
the officers tell a guy to stop, he takes off running and a cop chases him down and knocks him over. it sucks that the guy ended up in a coma, but running from the cops was obviously not the correct choice for that young man.
and in the next video, the lady is seen not cooperating with the officers before getting thrown to the ground. She did hit the ground really hard, but again she made a poor decision. Try resisting arrest with an officer in your community and see how well that works out for ya.
