Inglewood Teen Sues Cops.
-
I'm sort of against the police force being sued by individuals in the public. Even if one particular person suffered at the hands of a police officer, suing the cops for $50,000,000 or whatever is going to take resources away from the police force. I'm sure criminals everywhere are very excited about this. If a cop does mess up he/she should be fired and replaced. I don't think a person should be set up for life on public money that was budgeted to fight crime. At the very least the money from law suits should go back into the public service somehow. Schools, hospitals, zoos, parks, whatever. Perhaps this Inglewood teen with his $50,000,000 (or whatever) will be shot dead on the streets because the cops were short of resources due to the law suit. What do you guys think?
"I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?" -xterm
I hate to defend what looked like police brutality, but we didn't see the whole crime. We only see the beating. Wasn't the cop bleeding? How did that happen? I don't mind the cop getting a little excited and popping the perf in the jaw. He probably deserved it. I think when the cops start getting their jollies off of beating the bad guys senseless is when we have a problem. Rodney King was too much, and the Luima thing was too much. I don't think this cop went too far. If a guy cut me, I'd be all over him like flies on $#!+ :mad:

People sue people when they think they are wronged. What's wrong with this? Accrding to the news reports, the kid is seeking "unspecified damages". The $50 mil number you made up is misleading to say the least. From the looks of things on the video, that cop is the criminal. Why are people speaking up against the kid? When money is "budgeted to fight crime", that's what it should be used for. Paying a salary and giving a gun to the thug who beat up that kid while he was handcuffed is not "fighting crime". In fact, from what I've read, this all started over a routine traffic stop. They handcuffed the kid and started beating him. I've seen no reports that he did anything to provoke it (though I'd bet he smart-mouthed the cops, which is NO EXCUSE for a beating.) Maybe LAPD shouldn't be punished for this. Maybe they should. The cop sure should.
Did you see the whole video? Were you there? :mad: You must not have seen the part where the kid was trying to kill the officers in an effort to escape. Of cource being the law abiding citizen that you are, you would have helped them capture him. :~ The media (who thrives off sensationalism) will never show the whole story. You do know what he was wanted for don't you? My take...you don't want to get beat up, don't start a fight. :eek: Have you ever been in a fight where the other guy is trying to take your life? (Ex-military or fights with the ex-wife are not the same as police work if this happens to be your case...) It is not easy to turn the engines off like you are presuming an officer should be able to. The adrenaline does not exit the blood stream like electricity does at the flip of a switch. I'm not condoning beating handcuffed prisoners but I can tell you from experience that the slice in time you see on TV is just that...a slice that doesn't show the big picture, only what they want you to see so they can up ratings and sell advertising. ed The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people.

The problem is this becomes a he said/he said case. Unfortunately for the officer the video only shows his actions. But how often on the news do you hear about the following: 1. There is video evidence that the officer was injured. How does the office get injured by a 'cooperating' person. 2. The officer claims that the person was still resisting even after he was handcuffed. He specifically mentions that the person grabbed his balls. (Which is doable when handcuffed from behind while the officer is still behind you.) But, alas. All that has to be done is to have RACISM and police brutality screamed. Then it becomes a witch-hunt. I don't know who is at fault. I do thing the officer probably went too far. But I also wonder about "kicking the crap out of the officer" and then giving up. Officer can't touch you. (Which is the right thing) But what happens to these twits. They still should get sent up the river. We have enough bad cops. We just tosses an ex-Sheriff in jail for murder. We don't have to go on witch-hunts looking for more. If the cop did wrong, he should be punished for it. However, the witch-hunt is making hard for him to get fair treatment. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

I have to strongly disagree with these statements. I would like to point out that I am as much a law and order republican as anyone and am a gun owner and a fierce defender of our conatitution. In other words I am anything but a beeding liberal. However when one is in the custody of law enforcement and is renderd harmless he/she should not be mistreated in any sense by anyone. that is, in itself , a crime and must be trated as such. Not only would I fire all officers involved I would hold them up to criminal charges and prosecute them to the max. I don't care what the person did before he was in custody. There is no excuse except cowardance and inbred brutality for what I saw on that video. If getting rid of that type of action in America means firing cops right and left then lets begin. We are safer with criminals we can defend against than we are crooked cops that we can't defiend against.

"Like it or not, I'm right!"The cop was and is a punk. If he can't control himself he does not need to be a police officer. let him be an animal control officer if he wants to continue sucking from the public tit - but as far as being trusted by the populance to be a police officer and carry a gun and have the right given by his office to incarcerate or kill he has shown by his action that he does not possess the qualities needed. Put his sorry ass in jail like the person he arrested and let the grand jury settle it. If its good for the goose etc... Maybe that would stop the next quasi-brutal cop pretender from doing something similar.

Yeah I saw the video. I prefer to give the police the benefit of the doubt though, or at least a chance to voice their side of the story. I haven't heard anything yet. Just a lot of hot-heads crying "Rodney King! Rodney King!"

Tim Smith wrote: What about grabbing the balls of the officer after he was handcuffed? Difficult to do when handcuffed (especially if the cop has had an ounce of training, as they learn how to avoid things like this). Regardless, this is not life threatening and would not warrant the response seen in the video. Tim Smith wrote: This is "knee-jerk finger pointing" at its finest. Well, you're entitled to that opinion, but I think it's wrong. It's a reasoned and logical conclusion reached despite having some knowledge of what a cop's life is like and a tendency to take the other side of the fence in most cases of claims of police brutality. Sorry, the cop really has no excuse for his actions. I may be pointing fingers, but it's not "knee jerk" and is more then warranted. William E. Kempf

Did you read my post? What happened before the tape started rolling is irrelevant in this particular case. The kid was apprehended, HANDCUFFED, and sprawled against the cruiser for several seconds before the cop started to beat on him. Self defense doesn't apply, and anger is never an excuse for breaking the law. William E. Kempf

Yes, but members of the public must learn to respect offices of the law, and if thumping him into the car and giving him a few smacks in the head is the way of doing it, so be it. We have become to politically correct and give in to stupid liberal desires these days. I'm unsure of California law but most places now give youths too much ability to break the law and not been punished severly. And it appears that officer was just passing out some summary justice.

Exactly !! I have seen a handcuffed guy knock one officer unconscious and give another officer a bit of a beating. How it happened, as he was "being placed in the back seat of a squad car he turned fell with his back onto the rear seat and double kicked one of the officers flying, bounced out and roundhoused booted the other officer. It happened extrely fast. The injuried officer drew his batton and beat the guy a few times well, (our cops are unarmed). Some other cops ran over and threw the guy into the car, where from the inside he proceeded to kick out most of the windows etc. ( B_Hadcuffed != B_rendered_harmless ) Regardz Colin J Davies
