5 Ala. officers fired for beating caught on tape

[The Goat]

Here we go again...

You'd think after so many dirty cops have been caught doing this others would think twice about it.

5 Ala. officers fired for beating caught on tape

We need to actually see the beating for this to be an interesting subject

Here is what happens in jail if you kill a cop.

In my opinion he got off easy. He should have been shot point blank in the face, then the punishment would really fit the crime.

His mom's reaction was pathetic: "look what they did to him! brutality!" Umm, lady, your son shot and innocent man in the face.

Notice that this always happens after a police chase... good manners not to piss people off with authority and weapons.

I don't know what side of the debate you are on, but I thought we don't torture in America.

No shit, I mean I hate hate hate when cops abuse their power (like that duchebag we saw with the kid on the skateboard in Baltimore, or the guy with Ryan Moats... they can go screw)...

But in a situation like that, where someone shoots your fellow co worker, friend in the face, I'd probably do the same thing..

See, to me, if they had just shot that guy right there in the courtroom, you get no argument from me. He's just grabbed a gun & shot someone in front of you. Shoot him. Even if they had just shot him when they caught him down the street after bolting out of the 3rd story window.
"Hey, we caught him, but he tried shooting us again, so we killed him in the street."
But to wait until he's handcuffed in custody & THEN beat him like that? That's inexcusable & cowardly.

And people say that cops don't conspire or abuse their power? :yeahright

I don't know why this would surprise anyone. Cops abuse their powers everyday, whether it be the way they change lanes on the highways or the cover-ups to hide racism & hatred they spread through violence like this.

Is your definition of torture - brutality used to get information.
What differentiates police brutality from torture?

those cops that finally caught up with him weren't looking for any answers. they were pissed. and standing up for one of their own. if that guy had shot a family member, how would you have handled it?

You know what? It doesn't matter how I or any other NON-police officer would have handled those situations. Police are supposed to SET THE EXAMPLE & not allow their emotions to take control of them. I don't care if the guy ran over a dozen cops, they are not supposed to react by beating someone who is already prone. That is not part of their training. They are supposed to be better then that, not stoop to the criminals' level & act like thugs with badges.
