Nothing necessarily justifies cops using that much force but it sure seems rare that cops are beating the shite out of completely innocent people.

Normally i would agree and defend the cops, but regardless of what this idiot did the cops crossed over the line about 5 times in that video including hitting him while he was cuffed and on the ground. This kid (who is probably a piece of crap) will get paid by the tax payers because these cops were fat idiots who were pissed they had to run.

Doesn't matter if he just murdered an entire family, the dude had surrendered. I've seen much worse from cops though.

Huh? Maybe the cops should realize why a 16 yr old feels he needs to run! If what they did is ok, then why not just shoot him when they catch up?

Bottom line: When you catch up to a criminal who is standing with his hands in the air, arrest him, that's your job. If you do more, I'm fine with it, but you should expect to lose your job and face charges.
