OKC police officer slams old guy unconscious

[Rez Exelon]

I'm often on the side of LE in these things. I recognize its a tough, thankless job etc. and give some leeway on the necessity of making decisions in a split second. But this is radically different than those situations. The 'law is the law' arguments are silly. The idea that reasonableness doesn't factor in is just inexplicable to me.

I mean, I'd be a lot more pro-LEO if they handled business. The saying is "A few bad apples spoil the bunch" and you literally cannot tell me that the "good" cops don't know who the "bad" cops are. Instead of ever getting rid of them, they lie, cover, look away, and magically don't know anything except how to back "their brothers" 100%. That same mentality of blind support is what we see here in this tread.

I mean OBVIOUSLY that old dude was the most dangerous threat the cop had ever encountered. OBVIOUSLY. But "even if" he wasn't we can see that this thread is full of enablers that are 100% onboard with that cop. I mean, if the old frail on the edge of death TERRORIST THREAT dude who visciously and remorselessly assaulted him had not been that then one might reasonably conclude that it was a crap cop backed by a crap union and a crap AG and covered for by other crap cops. That wouldn't happen. Cops are the best and better than us. Just look, they get 10% discounts at most businesses because they are 10% better right?

Plus, since none of the "good cops" are really speaking out to get rid of this guy, then obviously he can't be a bad guy, because if the good ones leave a bad one in, that'd spoil the bunch. And a spoiled bunch that's not respected by the public wouldn't make their jobs easier after all.

Just read something about the Drummond family and ties to the history of the Osage and the movie, "Killers of the Flower Moon"
Totally off topic, lol

Don't judge them until you've stood the watch.

Man that is messed up. What is wrong with these guys.

Like I said, the similarities are astounding. Is this just plain old bad training, or a national disease of LE frustration taken out on the weak. "Don't disrespect my atoritay"!

No different than how they want to make an example out of Luigi --- charge him with terrorism and such. Compared to how many school shooters weren't terrorists, and how many church shooters weren't terrorists. How the OKC bomber wasn't a terrorist. But whack ONE CEO and all of a sudden you're a terrorist. Because he dared to not respect the authoritay of the rich. And guess who the cops work for? The rich. That's why American's laws about property are ever so much more meticulous, and defined than anything regarding humans.

let’s keep this going. The racist cop was still upset over the china virus.

I don't believe race had a thing to do with it. If that had been anyone (anyone the cop felt confident in attacking) he'd have acted the same way.

As long as it was someone he could manhandle and feel like "the boss" it would have been the same.

I agree with this. Had to stroke that ego.

This case is very similar to a case in Loveland Colorado. Two stalwarts of the Loveland PD. ventured across a woman acting "erratically" she wouldn't tell them her name, and when they tried to "apprehend" this dangerous 75 year old woman, they basically body slammed her just like the heroic OCPD officer did. Her crime? Not listening and when they grabbed her she pushed one of them. They ripped her rotator cuff, dislocated here shoulder and refused her any treatment while they forced her hand behind her back to cuff her. Then went for coffee with her in the back of the car...their final down fall was forgetting to turn off their body cameras. As she was waiting and screaming they were both joking and laughing about the loud pop the heard from her shoulder when being slammed to the ground, and saying bet she won't be so "stupid" next time from the lesson she just got!
Said woman had dementia and had wondered away from the nursing home she was in. City backed the officers 100% said their training was perfect and they acted properly. Once the body cam tapes were brought to light by the defence that kinda changed! Very similar!
Forgot to add concussion too from being smacked into the concrete sidewalk.

To ring in the NEw Years, i met some buddies at the local motocross track and had a lovely accident that resulted in a separated shoulder, cracked collarbone and was slightly concussed

-- I'm 23 years younger than this lady - and while not a "gym specimen" - keep myself fit enough to do my sports and hobbies --

And my experience with my injury was (and still is) a royal bitch . I cannot imagine having to go through this at that woman's age -- she should be enjoying time with her grandchildren for petes sake

Glad the officers resigned at least
