I kinda look at it this way, once the perp makes himself a target, that target should be engaged, fully. |

They lost the choke hold and even further back, in some states running from the cops got you shot. It is all about the lack of respect, not only for the police, but authority on a whole. |

Bad situation for your friends. Abuse of power??? Well that seems to be situation in the case you cite. The frustrating part deals with the other side of the coin. The folks today show a wanton disregard for the safety of others. When robbers and rapists flee, I have no problem with using deadly force. If these fugitives kill somebody in the chase, well the cops get blamed, and if the cops kill somebody in a chase associated accident they get blamed. But fear and respect of authority at the line level, with the beat cop, should be able to stop these activities. Or the Courts throw the book at these punks. The fear of accountability needs to be reinstated. Until such a time, this will continue. Respect for the law. Sometimes I wonder if these clowns do this knowing that they have a chance for a law suit if the Police mess up as it seems to be in the case immediate? CHA CHING! |

We need a new law that is simple. If a perp is driving in a manner willing to kill anyone in his way, they loose the rights as a human. After blowing through a stop sign or stop light, and risking the lives of the citizens of the area the driver is stripped of rights. Let the cops do a Rodney King until their arms are tired, and kill him if they want. Right on TV for all the other runners to see. If everyone KNOWS in their heart they will die if they run, only the hard core criminals will run. Blowing through red lights and stop signs and driving at crazy speeds can and will kill the innocent. It is no different than a crazy man walking around shooting at random people. Every light he runs is exactly like firing a bullet into a random building. He has no regard for anyone else. Eliminate the sucker from the gene pool. I vote for the Hard Drive law! |
No good will come from this.
A bad cop gets in serious trouble for being a total dumass and makes the rest of the good cops look bad. A total punk low-life hits the lottery and gets millions of dollars from joe taxpayer. he ends up using that money to be a wealthy punk, getting in bigger trouble, costing joe taxpayer even more in the long run. it would have been better for all of us if the dumass cop and the punk got into a shooting match and took each other out. |
Rodney King

Yeah. We should give the cops RPGs so they can end the pursuits earlier.

Are these car chases an everyday thing in LA?

Law enforcement is such a dicey thing. You have cases like this, where I think a kick to the head was letting him off easy. But then you get cops like the ones who roughed up my friend without any cause at all (and brought him in for 'DUI' which kinda fell apart when he blew a ZERO at the station). Cops need to exercise judgement, plain and simple.
In this case, he knew there were cameras. He needed to apprehend the guy, take him in, and then in a couple weeks have a boot party on his face in jail. The unfortunate reality is that the guy deserved the kick, but never should have gotten it given the repercussions. |
on a side note.....am I the only one who found it comical when the reporter says "oh oh a kick to the head, a kick to the head"

Seems justified to me. Should of taz his azz.

From what I see the kick to head was a defensive measure to insure the officers safety. In every felony stop I've seen (even if it was only on tv) the arresting officers manage the scene by preventing the bad guy from seeing what is going on around them. They approach the bad guys from behind for a reason. If the fleeing gangster could see the officer was alone he might be more inclined to continue the fight. A scene is not under control until the bad guy is in cuffs. Just laying down doesn't mean the fight is over, it means the bad guy has taken the fight to the ground perhaps where he would prefer it to be.
That little kick to head was nothing compared to the "jumping in party" this gang banger had when he became a banger. You can cite civil rights decisions all you want but personally I think that once you've tattooed your face up with gang signs and have chosen to victimize society as a way of life I think you've given up your rights to a fair trial. I think cops should be authorized to shoot you in head with out so much as a warning. This society has turned into a bunch of pussies who are afraid to stand up to these criminals. |

Just the opposite. That was to make him forget how much his face hurt. |

The perp pulled his arm in from the natural reaction of getting kneed in the ribs/back and the cop wanted to control his arm. I have zero problems with this. I don't buy the defensive blow for submission as the perp visually acknowledged the officer as he was walking to lay down, he was totally splayed, the officer had fronted him with a direct line for a head shot and multiple officers showed up in about 6-7 seconds. The officer could have simply held his fronted position for those few seconds while the others arrived. He's lucky the kick did not do any more damage that stunning the perp....but I am sure there will be more damage listed in the lawsuit. The cop got wrapped up in the moment and the taxpayers are really going to have to pay. |
