The officer in question pretty much got hammered as much as the Chief could take it. Did the officer overreact to the attempted kick by the handcuffed woman? I think so and I've seen officers with progressive disciplinary histories fired for like actions. It would be useful to read the policy manual and use of force model utilized at the agency in question. I don't like it but an excess force response as shown in the video isn't assault nor was it a civil rights violation. But it certainly pissed me off to view it .Sport Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862280966739841769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-6873936889032289302015-05-06T19:57:51.775-04:002015-05-06T19:57:51.775-04:00I guess it's true-all animals are equal, but s...I guess it's true-all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.Snowdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274918120982155791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-83133662162152345042015-05-06T17:43:01.405-04:002015-05-06T17:43:01.405-04:00RF: My recollection is that qualified immunity ap...RF: My recollection is that qualified immunity applies when a cop has a reasonable belief that what fuckery he perpetrated was lawful. I have a hard time seeing where punching a manacled woman in the face is legal, at least in a First World nation.<br /><br />SP, bet he serves his "suspension" over lunchtime for about 32 weeks.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-34014351348331417072015-05-06T13:48:25.658-04:002015-05-06T13:48:25.658-04:00Hmm.

I suspect this video is now a part of a lot of Training Officers class room presentations. Yep. It's cringe worthy.Sport Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862280966739841769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-80974641471666472602015-05-06T13:41:01.099-04:002015-05-06T13:41:01.099-04:00First, get rid of qualified immunity.
