use verbal judo instead and wear your hat..
Didn't anyone see that skinheads head was on fire? That Officer was just trying to stomp out the flames. Had that been a Rodney King type those guys would be convicted of federal time without a trail or shipped off to Guantanamo Bay."Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. The MARINES don't have that problem." ....Ronald ReaganComment

Neither Officer did anything wrong..but what did the 1st Officer do that in any way shape or form would be construed as excessive force? Political Correctness run amok AGAIN. Professional Administrators are now running a lot of large Police Departments across the country. These pansy a*&es would look at a video of someone pulling a splinter out of their finger and cringe at how violent it is. Bad guys resist. Taking them into custody when they are fighting DOES NOT LOOK PRETTY. Nothing about what cops do taking scrote bags off the street looks pretty.Comment

Uhhh, what did I miss here?
Looked pretty much OK to me.
In the words of Lt. Dave Grossman:
"...the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. They would prefer that he didn't tell them where to go, or give them traffic tickets, or stand at the ready in our airports in camouflage fatigues holding an M-16. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, "Baa."
Until the wolf shows up. Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog."
I worry about the future for you younger officers out there. Society wants you to "drop the soap".Comment

Officer Doyle was a lateral transfer from Philadelphia PD. 18+ years experience. SOLID cop. Chief Schultz was found guilty for violating an APD officer's civil rights a few years ago and the jury awarded direct AND punitive damages totally over $750K+. Nice place... Thank god there are comments like those posted here.Comment

My question is why? Clearly (well, OK - it was pretty fuzzy) the kicks were not accomplishing anything - you've got a clear example here of one officer afraid to go hands on. The one on top of him needed support from the second one, and they could have done it clean, professional, no muss, no fuss.
I have never been trained that you kick someone during handcuffing. You can kick during a fight, of course, if you need to, but here it served no purpose.If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

Not saying I agree with it but I can see why the kicking officer was fired. It was really really poor tactics, although I think some form of punishment and retraining would have been better. Using your foot, never looks good, had it been a baton, it would still have looked bad but I'd bet the outcome just might have been different.
As for the officer on top of him, I really don't see why he got fired unless he lied about the events or something along those lines.(\__/)

After about kick 4, the guy's arm is clearly covering his head. The kicking officer got caught up in the heat of the moment and continued after he should have stopped. The officer who tackled the guy clearly needed help HANDCUFFING the suspect, not beating his ***.
I'll get flamed for it, which has become pretty common on these boards, but officers found to have used excessive force need to go.Originally posted by K40To me, open carry is the equivalent of the couple making out and groping each other at the food court in the mall. Yeah, they are probably legal, as long as they don't start getting undressed. But they are still social retards.Comment

You won't get flamed by me. If the excuse is they were distraction kicks, I don't buy it. If they truly thought his right arm was going for a weapon, then restrain and disable his right arm, handcuff him, but don't kick him in the head 12 times.RetiredComment

A few thought they had only fired a few rounds.
This Officer, may have believed he needed to kick the perp that many times and was expecting the other Officer to change how he wa trying to handcuff the suspect. I don't know.
We can watch the video, and say DO THIS!!!!!, but again we didn't go through the chase, know the history of the suspect etc. etc.
The suspect was bruised and battered, but I didn't see a lot of injury to his person after being tackled and having kicks and punches delivered to his head and person.
Retraining and whatever is needed, but I wouldn't have fired them.Be safe pulling back into the thread...

I see what your saying, but none of us were there. I've only fired my shotgun at an armored bulldozer, so I don't know what it is like to shoot at a person, but I've been told by cops I know who have shot people, that they didn't know they emptied their magazine.

Yeah, I'm REALLY wondering why the officer that tackled the perp was fired. From everything I've seen he did nothing wrong. The officer kicking the guy in the head repeatedly? Yeah, sorry but that was too much. I can understand one strike to distract and then grab an arm but he was way over the top.
If I were the officer that tackled the suspect then I would definately lawyer up. I don't see anything he did wrong.Comment
