re: Three Arkansas officers suspended and under investigation after video shows use of force

I’m not going out to burn down white businesses because some shite bag was spitting on and threatening people. That’s the difference.

No one said you have to go full nuclear option. (Although, If the PD circle the wagons on this case and try to protect these cops from getting prosecuted, perhaps burning down the precinct would be justified.)

But too many conservative white people are knee-jerk ‘back the blue’ types who just accept that the suspect had it coming. Cops are on notice now in black neighborhoods to watch their asses when arresting someone.

They should be on similar notice in white neighborhoods.

Until the people in place to protect are able to be trusted by the populace, than things will never change. This is a billion times worse than seeing some street thugs doing the same thing

You aren’t going to like how your constant war against police turns out.

I’m not a fan of the police but I know that not having police is much worse. Just look at New Orleans, the police are leaving in droves.

It’s going to get very very violent until the point where even people like you are begging to hire more police and police that aren’t afraid to use force.

I know you can’t imagine yourself saying that but just give it time, you will come around

I’m done arguing with people like you. I’m ready to get rid of the police and let the cities burn just so I can tell dumbasses like you that I told you so.

So your only solution is “keep taking the brutality, or else the cops will quit and leave us for dead”?

Are police a protection racket?

No. I’m asking what your goal is.

Are you trying to achieve absolute zero police brutality cases?

Controlling a grown man is far from easy. All the armchair UFC fighters on here say these cops should have been able to cuff him in a more gentle manner. I sincerely mean this: try it. Try sometime to hold a grown man down and force his hands behind his back and keep them in place long enough to put cuffs on.
You can’t do it, and you would probably need more than two of your toughest friends to help. Inflicting pain is about your only hope. And this is what that looks like.

Never been in a fight or seen one, that’s my guess.

Exactly

I do think police being trained in Brazilian jujitsu would definitely help. But you are still going to have these situations

They stopped when they saw the camera. Douche cops should get dealt with.

Dude, frick you.

They were literally bashing his head into the pavement.

They had him pinned to the ground with the weight of 3 men on him. He might have still be squirmy and hard to place handcuffs on, but haymakers to the head and slamming the head on the pavement were acts of blatant uncontrolled assault. Perhaps the cops were rightly exasperated by the man’s resistance, but if police officers are subject to the same laws as civilians, they would and should be prosecuted for assault.

The only way to get around this is to argue that cops are a special class of citizen which are above the law…which I’m going to go ahead and assume some of y’all would argue.

Don’t start no shite, won’t be no shite.
