When the LA police ask for your name...........YOU BETTER TELL THEM! :p


Video Shows Police Hitting Suspect With Flashlight After Apparent Surrender

Police officers who arrested a man suspected of driving a stolen car were shown in televised news footage repeatedly hitting him with a flashlight after it appeared he had surrendered.

News footage shot from a helicopter showed the chase end on a Compton street and the suspect take off on foot. After a short pursuit, the man appeared to surrender to an officer. After several other officers arrived, the man was forced to the ground, where the videotape shows an officer striking him at least 10 times with a flashlight
 
Please...as anyone can plainly see, the officer is just trying to get the light to start working again, by repeatedly striking it on a solid object.
:rolleyes:









(For the sarcasm impaired, that was not what is going on in that video...on the other hand, the media has a track record of labelling any police use of force as brutality, and then mysteriously dropping all coverage of the story after more information comes forth).
 
He stole a car. Probably from some poor guy that will lose his job and not be able to pay the rent now because his car was jacked by some peice of garbage in a hurry to buy more crack after robbing a quickie-mart. Screw him. And when he gets out of jail, beat him again.
 
Good.

And anyone who doesn't think so, I hope it's your car that's stolen next time, and I hope you die in a high speed chase while walking down the street one day.

Flashlight nothing. He should have shot him in the head.
 
Damn right! Because we should institute beatings and the death penalty for thieves now, and give the police the power to distribute that justice without those stupid trials and lawyers and stuff...
 
Trials are for Communists! let the police beat the perps on the spot, they deserve it.

Screw him. I hope he lost IQ points like Rodney did. Maybe now he'll be too stupid to steal a car.

I don't know. I think all the cops involved should be fined twenty dollars.
 
Don't they teach cops anything in the academy anymore? Never, ever, ever beat the suspect when news helicopters are flying overhead.

Wait till you get back to the station.

That is practically what we have right now, the only reason this is an issue is because it was caught on camera. Your rights as an American citizen effectively evaporate once you are in the custody (either arrested, detained or pulled over) of the police.

It's easy to get caught up in this. We don't want the cops to beat the hell out of someone.

This person has not been tried for any crime so we presume him innocent until such time as a jury finds him guilty.

Why not apply the same standard to the cops?
 
Good for the police maybe if every villian realised they would get a good beating it would reduce the crime rate

i wonder if the police should now recieve anti aircraft weapons for use against news helicopters
 
In Los Angeles, since Rodney King, the police are guilty. Being proved innocent is irrelevant.

I was watching the news this morning, and the in-studio guest was the chief of the LAPD. He was trying to tell the news media not to jump to conclusions. The female anchor said something along the lines of "we won't do that" but then immediately jumped in with a question comparing this incident to Rodney King.

It's the same principle that is in operation in the US Armed Forces. We torture prisoners, it's only because there were pictures that could be distributed that it's an issue. F--- the Geneva Conventions. And F--- the Constitution. And justify it with fear and hatred and panic.

Not true, the investigations into the prison abuse began in January. It was in the news. It was only when the pictures were produced that it became the big, new sensationalized news story.

Contrast that with this incident where the likelihood of these cops being held accountable without the footage would have been nil.
 
I say good. Beat the living crap out of him. Perhaps next time he will respect other people's property instead of stealing cars. Now watch the liberals climb down my throat...that is until they get T-boned at an intersection and paralyzed like my friend Cal did by a perp running from the cops in a stolen automobile.
 
Just business as usual for the
