And it seems the media instantly are made aware of the victims past. Luckily, the victim didn't have a preexisting medical condition so he lived.

If the citizen had not approached the cop and told him to move his vehicle, none of this would have happened.
In fact, if the citizen had realized that he was about to challenge the authority of a police officer and just killed himself instead, we wouldn't have to witness this unpleasant spectacle on our TVs.

At first glance and review, it appears the officer didn't like being asked to move his car (not sure of the full story on that)...and he made the man pay for having the audacity to up his tone "You need to move".
Some cops are hot heads and govern by intimidation.
but at the same time, who has the balls to talk to an officer like that? Usually, there is a valid reason a cop does what he does (referencing parking)...but then again...
video looks bad for sure.

The officer should be fired. He stomped on the guy's head and then kept a decent amount of weight there. For asking him to move his car.

Someone should stomp that pig's head into the street and see how he enjoys it.

Fired? How bout lock his arse up with the other lawless thugs that menace the streets of Sacramento? A job should be the least of his concerns.

I don't understand how you can be arrested for resisting arrest and nothing else.
How are you resisting arrest when you're not being arrested for something?

The same way you can be subject to civil forfeiture without ever being charged. The game is rigged. We're just waking up.
Eta: there are plenty of bullshite charges they can shoehorn into any situation when needed.

I agreed with that entire Will piece, expect for this part.
Come on. I understand solitary is no picnic, but from my understanding of how it's utilized, it's not like jaywalkers and marijuana dealers are being tossed in there without cause.

You should do a little more reading on solitary...maybe watch the Frintline piece on it. Saying its "no picnic" is a massive understatement.

The guy that filmed the incident better get out of town soon. You know that the cops will be looking for any reason to get a hold of him as well.

If he has any type of criminal record we'll hear about it soon.

Do not approve of what I saw. At all. But I am curious as to what I did not see. The person arrested openly admits he cursed at the officer and told him to move his patrol vehicle. Not sure where it went from there.
There are some gaps in this story.

The article said he was arrested for resisting arrest. The article failed to mention what cops attempted to arrest him for. Resisting arrest means you did something that was legally a crime and you were resisting cops efforts to take you into custody. Cursing at somebody, even a cop isn't a crime btw.

Did he interfere with an officer in the performance of his duties? Not sure. All we see is the end of the confrontation where the officer was clearly using excessive force on an individual who was already subdued. For that alone he should be terminated. If the force was unwarranted he should face criminal charges of his own.

I stand by my original assessment. Need more facts/context.
