Brit cop punch man 5 times in the face.

I too wanted to be a policeman but changed my mind after seeing the movie Serpico with Al Pacino. After been stopped a few times and mistreated you dont want to become like them.

LOL, that is hilarious. :D:D:D

Of course some officers do criminal activities, but they are very few and far between and usually caught.
 
Police think they are beyond the law..

they will do as the see fit for "fun"

The English police are morons that cant do anything correctly.. Thank god they arnt allowed Guns like in the US

When my colleagues pulled an unconcious man out of a burning building last week, albeit risking their own lives because the fire brigade hadn't arrived yet, is that not 'correct'? Do you expect them to put the fire out too?

I know a cop.

No, you don't. :)

Too many kids on this forum.
 
Hi Werewolf, you didnt answer my question?
which was = "are you saying that the police NEVER do anything criminal?"

I thought my answer was fairly short and succint, what with the main bit being a single word "No" to the question, in other words, some police officers, do at times break the law.
I think I also pointed out the that they are under more scrutiny than us*, and that a picture or video on it's own should not be used to decide without any further evidence or information that they are in the wrong.


*What with the IPC and Professional Standards etc in addition to the Law.
 
Without being there or having more information, you can't make that conclusion.

Of course you can. The job was done, anything else was overkill. They over powered him, had him on the floor and tasered him. I reckon If I was tasered I'd move about a bit as well.

The policeman just couldn't control himself.
 
Of course you can. The job was done

No it wasn't. A prisoner isn't "done" unless they are in a cell. He was barely compliant enough to get cuffs on by the looks of it. You do realise that if someone resists, getting cuffs on isn't trivial and even if they have cuffs on, getting them into the van can be rather difficult?

you can looking at the video. i mean he could have tried to cuff him after 2 punches right?

going 1-2-3-4-5 on someones face?

its not like he tried in a professional manner after 1 or 2 attempts to restrain the person. then saw it wouldnt work and went 5 blows instead is it?

it's like he went into a very unprofessional rage on the 'offender'. in all forms of employment you should remain professional, this goes double when dealing with the public and being 'beyond reproach' as policeman.

Notice he stops punching when the guy released he grip on the officer with the taser. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Rubbish, they had him beat. All he had to do was get his free hand. Punching someone 4 or 5 times in the head on the ground like that is cowardly thuggery because he knows he can get away with it.

Perhaps the other guy should have gotten up and booted him in the face, after all he was resisting and the job wasn't done and he was still a threat.

Shame the guy on the floor isn't black, there would be a completely different outcry ;)

You are showing your naivety here. They didn't have him restrained at any point in that video. The fact that they moved him half way through to get him into a better position is a clear example of that.

after all he was resisting and the job wasn't done and he was still a threat.

At least that part is true.

Again rubbish, they had tasered him in the leg after moving him. The guy then goes for the taser guys arm and he gets punched in the head multiple times.

I imagine that's a pretty natural reaction after being shocked and in pain.

Your the one showing either naivety or probably job conditioning to accept this stuff as normal.
 
Very possibly, but that doesn't detract from the point that not having proper control of a taser is a huge issue that needs to be dealt with quickly.

What was he going to do with it? Shock himself some more?
Once you have shot one and the prongs are attached to his leg, what could he possibly do with it apart from harm himself some more?

What does it take for him to then be able to use the weapon on a policeman, after it's been successfully deployed?

Yea ok if you say so...

And actually i do know a Police officer, He lives on my road... have him over for dinner some nights with his wife.

If your idea of a kid is a man who lives in his own house that fully paid off with a wife and a computer much better then yours then ok im a "kid"

The taser doesn't look like it was fired. It can be used without firing the prongs.

look at the video, the taser was being used in the dry stun technique, no prongs. officer was justified to punch the man HOWEVER its impossible to say if the ammount of times he punched him was reasonable without seeing a fuller video
 
In my opinion tasers are torture devices. If you're incapable of restraining a suspect with tried and tested C&R you probably shouldn't be a police officer.
