OKC police officer slams old guy unconscious

[montesa]

That's OK I'll say it, the cop broke the law.

It was NOT proportional to the threat posed. It was a textbook case of excessive force. The cop went from 0 to total ******* in .25 seconds, without rationally assessing the situation. If that cop can't successfully establish control over a small, frail old man without grave bodily injury, then he has no business being a cop at all.

We don't need people who can't maintain a cool head under pressure out there with police powers. It's just that simple.

Seems like common sense to me.

It's for his safety.

(childish phrase used to excuse violating rights)

So more assumption?

Whooo lawdy!

Confrontation childish people. What’s the problem?

Settle down. Lol

Not sure it was a pile drive head first. Look at the video again. At the end of the takedown, the cop tries to catch the guy by pulling up on his arm to break the fall. Maybe he was surprised at how lightweight the guy was during the takedown & held up.

I watched repeatedly. Pretty sure. I've seen that before, real-world when I was a teacher. Was close enough to stop that one.

Do Asians sometimes annoy you? There are cultural differences for sure. Is it possible if you thought about those you might see this differently? Think of the same situation but swap the Asian man with a crotchety Vietnam vet.

Who are you to comment? Until you actually get outside, how do you really know if rain is wet?

Because the OSA pundits tell you it is wet.

Well stated thank you. Some common sense
