Well that is a stupid position to take.

While we don't know what happened up to this point, we do know what is happening in this video and in no way, shape, or form is the cop correct.

It may be ok for a civilian to get into a fight, but it isn't ok for an officer of the law, particularly when he outmans the kid and has him on the ground already.

I'm usually on the cops side until more information comes out, but no new information will make this action acceptable behavior.

Yep. However, many in this thread think it is ok for cops to give out "punishment."


Think how scary that is that Americans want that now
