Well, people should follow police instructions. But then, it could be overkill when they use the taser. From my point of view, the guy seemed rational enough. The sad thing is that cops are prone to use force to obtain obedience from people. Is this the reason why tasers are invented?
How much resistance can you get from a dude that has no legs? Apparently, officers did not see it that way. This guy was considered by the police as resisting arrest and tasered him on his ribs twice. You got to be amused with how a wheel chair can become a deadly weapon.
You’ve got to love the sarcasm of this video. Playing on the background is the song, “Proud to be American” while showing clips of police violence. That should inspire anyone’s patriotic spirit, in the sense that this kind of violence should not be tolerated. It is pretty funny, in a disturbing way.
Police came to quiet down a baptism celebration and ended up using tasers on a 55-year old man and a pregnant woman. Talk about excessive force and police violence! Police claim the man refused to identify himself and the pregnant woman assaulted an officer. There might be truth to this claim, but that’s quite hard to see on the video.
The police officer’s behavior is hard to understand here. The guy was already in cuffs and is already going in the squad car. But then, the cop snuck a cheap shot at the side of the suspect. That is police violence–unwarranted at that. It would’ve been different if the guy was resisting.
Though this is not of recent news, even the King of Pop got to experience police violence. In this interview, the late Michael Jackson recounts his experience of police abuse when he was arrested for his child molestation case. Well, if celebrities get treated this way, what more for the average Joe?
Nothing like a barking, raving dog to get people intimidated with authority, not to mention instant arrest of people who want to be stubborn and get in their way. You can also see in the video an old lady who got bitten by the dog. How’s that for good old peaceful demonstration?
Shown in this video is a student filming cops during the homecoming at Queens University. Call it a case of being in the wrong time, wrong place, or filming the wrong people? Possibly. The guy did not sound that drunk, right? Well, some of the cops took it the wrong way and got the video taker busted. Case of wrongful arrest, anyone?
You have here a bus driver that gets hit by an off-duty cop. On the background is the call made presumably to 911 to report the incident. The driver then claims to have been hit on the left eye. The good thing is that there’s a camera to record the assault.
