OKC police officer slams old guy unconscious

[RockHopper]

Definitely. He is a danger to the public unable to restrain himself from using way too much force and causing grave bodily injury to a senior citizen.

I wonder what the stats are for cops on TRT or other things like that. That could explain some of the over the top aggression. Wasn't there a steroid ring busted in OKC a few years back? Whole bunch of seriously jacked officers.

Dang. I've noticed this trend, but just associated it with over-aggressive youthful exuberance, and social trends. You may REALLY be onto something I hadn't considered before.

I am all about have a good debate but if agree with his diarrhea it doesn't say much for you. All he did was have a bout Tourettes while he hates on cops, if you're gonna take exception with the cop for being excessive in how he responded . You need to take exception with the old man for committing a felony, if you can't see he broke the law and why that law is on then books then you've got some myopia concerning what happened.

That old guy didnt assault the officer sir. If you call that assault then your more ignorant than I already thought.
HE'S CLEARLY A SENIOR CITIZEN.
And not at all capable of doing any physical damage to a young trained officer. Even if the cop wasn't a trained gorilla, he was YEARS younger than this old guy. Physical ability (and disability), as any half intelligent man knows, plays into this 100%
Now, had the old guy produced a weapon, I'd have a different stance, depending on the weapon.
But a finger touch? LMFAO

He committed battery against the cop.

In Oklahoma, battery is defined as the unlawful and intentional use of force or violence against another person without their consent:

• Definition
  Oklahoma Statutes Title 21 §21-642 defines battery as "any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another".
• Examples
  Battery can include any unwanted physical contact, such as a push, shove, slap, punch, or use of a foreign object.

I knew a guy jacked up on steroids. Him and his 2 buddy's put Officer Perry in a wheelchair over nothing at a sports bar. I was never so happy to see Immelio cry at his sentencing. F them. I forget the names of the other 2 but I had seen and been around them in Tuttle. Dirtbags and they all 3 got 15 years in the gray bar Hilton.
Wasn't long enough but.

Making an elderly man do a faceplant on concrete is the epitome of excessive force. It isn't a small mistake to be swept under the rug. The officer should definitely be facing charges.

You can't touch a cop? What are they a god? Maybe just a bishop? Then all you can do is kneel before them, and kiss the ring? They work for us, we don't have to tip toe around them. I've known some good cops in my life, including one that always said he was trying to save my life, it took me awhile before I realized he was telling the truth. He died before I could thank him and his family. No good cop would defend this useless piece of sh*t. He's a loser, He will get fired this week, and his stupidity and the need to show the world he is tougher than an 80 year old man will end up costing the city (us) 1/2 to a million dollars. But the ones I blame are the people that gave him a psychological work up, if they couldn't see this guy was a whacko they need to get fired as well. There is no excuse for what he did, and he should be in jail.

I don’t think you understand what I was saying, I’m in complete agreement with you. That was my point. The guy said he shoved the cop when all he did was touch his vest…. Geez

They ain't huggy psychologists there to affirm you. They are trained guard dogs on a short leash just as soldiers are war dogs....you mess with either at your own peril...nobody calls a cop to see the best that humanity has to offer, people only call cops to see the worst, and when somebody screams and gets in their face and touches them, the very predictable happens...at worst, the guy did not know his own strength or how easily the guy would go down, and none of this lynch mob would have done any better.

You're stating whats causing the problem pretty well in my opinion - cops acting like soldiers in war zones. He wasn't in a war zone. He was working a traffic accident with a tiny elderly man.

This guy over reacted, lost his cool and reacted badly. If this guy sees what the tiny old man did as a threat requiring him to violently react the way he did, he's in the wrong job.

The old man told him to shut up, it pissed him off and he lost his cool, simple as that. He doesn't have the temperament for this job.

Yes, Bob, and he was clearly a senior from another culture, maybe with some dementia, and not capable of inflicting harm. FFS...

It doesn't matter you can't lay hands on a cop , you may not like it but its the law.
