[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4387891, member: 1132"] Yep. In what world would a frail, elderly man tapping you on the chest so you send him to the ICU with a broken neck, broken eye socket and brain bleed NOT result in criminal charges? What exactly makes a police officer so damned special, they can commit grave bodily harm with impunity? The people in this thread defending this officer act like there is no law in Oklahoma against excessive use of force by a LEO. There is: [URL unfurl="true"]https://law.justia.com/codes/oklahoma/title-22/section-22-34-1/[/URL] I don’t see any of them defending this law as vociferously as they’re defending the LEO’s right to use force on anyone who so much as touches them. Why is this law bad but that law good? In ANY other scenario, responding to a simple battery with ZERO effect, with aggravated assault and battery that results in life-threatening injury to a vulnerable person by a strong person, you’d be arrested and prosecuted. Someone touching a LEO is not an excuse to go apeshit gorilla on an old man. I’m disappointed and disgusted by the people defending this officer. [/QUOTE]
