In this instance, a taser would’ve come in handy. If someone as violent as this is making a rampage, then a taser should slow him down. These are the situations where taser use is great, but when this is used on non-aggressive civilians, that’s a very different case altogether for the police.
When you look at this video, you just have to shake your head. The man was cuffed and restrained, but the officer thought it appropriate to hit the man on the face with his baton. Now, that’s some professionalism! I don’t know what the suspect did, but that was low, hitting a man that can’t fight back. Police brutality it is.
Well, protests are hard to deal with. You’d have complaints flying from the police and protesters. You have police abuse on the one hand, and protesters being stubborn and belligerent on the other. It’s a hard case to decide. Police stops riots with a hard hand, and protesters are (more often than not) involved in them.
Tasers are bad when used on the wrong people, but when the situation calls for it, you’d appreciate having one in your holster. Take this video for example. If you have someone resisting arrest, it would take lots of manpower to keep the guy down. But with a taser, things would be simpler and less painful for both the police and the suspect.
When the police gives instructions, just listen. If you don’t, you get a taste of taser. That’s how it is. Just do what you’re told and everyone gets home safe. No bad memories. A taser can send you writhing in pain, so if you don’t want any trouble, please cooperate.
This is a video of a woman filing a complaint for police abuse and excessive force. She claims that police hit her on the face and continued to beat her even when she was cuffed. What I don’t like about this case is that you’ve seen this too much that you get desensitized.
How’s this for police abuse? A guy whose not resisting arrest gets bitten by a K-9, and he got evidence against him planted in his pocket. If there’s any clearer case of police abuse than this, we don’t what is. The comment by the reporter is valid: how many guys have been victimized by planted evidence?
The police are indeed camera-shy. Here, a police officer confronts someone taking a video of an arrest. The video taker was also taken down. What’s disturbing is that the man being arrested is asking for the grounds for arrest. It would be hard to tell from the video what the grounds for arrest is. Is it police violence, or just a crazy guy being apprehended?
Here is a scene where people are being arrested. It would depend on how you see it. These people can be talked into cooperating with the police. Another point is that police violence should not be exerted on guys who show no sign of aggression. It all depends on where the coin lands.
We know that resisting arrest forces the police to mete out police violence. But running over a guy with a police car? That’s police abuse there, as if there wasn’t any other way to bring the guy down and arrest him. If this video is true, then this clearly spells out police brutality.
