IM SO FUCKING SICK OF THE HEARD MENTALITY!!! They get sooooo Fucking close to the officers seriously, why can't you back the fuck off and let them do their job. Its always everyones business why that poor innocent man is being beat up by the big bad police. The dude on the ground was obviously resisting!!!! I mean damn if he was going peacefully then that would have never happened. So in my mind its that motherfuckers fault not the police that the guy got shot!!! All im bitching about is if everyone hates police so damn much then we all need to pass a bill that says put my name on the ( I dont want help from a trained professional and I will do the job my damn self) list. After about the second or third confrontation, people will learn real quick that its not all fun and games to "take the law into your own hands" attidude. Our generation is filled with "Billy badasses". Let me go to your work and fuck with you saying how I no how to do it better. Your gonna call me out and say do it then! If the police did that then we would have chaos. WE THE PEOPLE forget just how important the police really are and maybe if its taken away we wont have so many riots in the streets over a gang member being shot for doing what he does!!! The movie "purge" is a great example. Once you start to live and raise your family in a world like that then maybe people will realize that we do need LAW ENFORCEMENT!!!!! That police officer is a man just like the rest of us and its sooo easy to blame him then the shit heads. I feel bad for him becuase he was just doing his job...

That was so well said it needs to be posted twice!

In all seriousness...it's nice to see another DR member talk sense. Much of the anti-police and anti-gun retoric here comes from non-Americans throwing in their two cents. Nobody laughs at Canada for some of their Euro-Socialist lifestyle decisions and pandering to the Quebec French and no one makes fun of the Brits for their fall from world dominance to third world mediocrity. But everyone has an opinion about America...everybody get a crack at the Yanks. Of course everyone forgets that if it weren't for those crazy cowboy Yanks, most of the world would be speaking German, Japanese, Italian, or Russian. I've never expected anyone to say thank you, but to deride everything about America all the time is a bit much. Thank you for your kind words about law enforcement.

I never comment, but this situation was really interesting to me. That cop was scared and kept it together fairly well. The other cops weren't brandishing their weapons or blatantly hurting whoever they were arresting. The person being arrested didn't seem to be screaming in pain. Even if it was a pregnant nun, it doesn't matter. The people in the crowd were acting like idiots. The cop pulled mace after being screamed at multiple times, which isn't a sign of someone wanting to kill people. His mistake was that he looked away, with his arm fully extended while holding the mace, and that was a stupid move. He should've expected what might happen. God forbid a mob might act civil. The next thing he knows, someone grabs the mace and tries to spray him, along with the people he's trying to protect. He points his gun in the direction of the guy grabbing his hand and shoots at around the same time the guy lets go. Shooting once isn't the sign of a person who has lost their bearings. For all he knew, behind that cloud of mace were four more guys running at him. He is then hit in the neck with an object (It's perfectly logical to throw things at someone who just shot another person.), backs away and secures his baton, allows a pedestrian to walk BETWEEN him and the officers he's protecting, and then he rejoins them. He didn't threaten the crowd after being hit and he had the capacity to determine that the crazy guy walking between himself and the other cops wasn't a threat. He actually kept his gun pointed at the ground the whole time following the shooting. All of those cops may be terrible people arresting an innocent but, if that the case, they're the most composed, pansy amateur executioners I've ever seen. If this is police brutality, Brazil is going to be OK.
