Bwahaha! Love the mental image

I'm gonna get a ration of shit from the DR Anti-Police Brigade anyway...so I'm going to just say what I would if I were hired by the Memphis Police Association to defend the officers actions.

First off...that really was a great improvised tactical move in turning over the porta-potty. Notice the officers turned it over with the door facing down so the bad guy couldn't get away or attack the officers while they cleared the other three potties. It's actually pretty clever and I commend the officers for their novel technique. Now, from a safety factor, I'm not sure that it was a really great idea to handle a suspect potentially covered with raw sewage...and then play rock paper scissors to figure out who would transport the poop covered idiot to the police station. I really saw nothing blatantly wrong from a legal or policy issue with turning over the porta-potty...it can easily be argued that it was a tactical ploy. Just make note...don't hide from the police inside a porta-potty.

Now, the real legal issue will be the unwarranted and intentional kick administered by one of the officers to the rear end of the bad guy. Now, I personally feel that when a bad guy runs away and makes me chase him...then he should expect to get his ass and other body parts kicked, hit, and poked...in a highly professional manner of course, but kicked, hit, and poked, none the less.

Of course, in today's more liberal less hands on law enforcement climate, unwarranted physical assault under the color of authority is highly frowned upon. That particular officer is probably going to be toast. Of course he might argue that with the physical/mental stress of the foot pursuit...he just lost control and kicked the asshole in the butt. The other option is to argue that the kick was administered as part of a tactical plan to knock the suspect tonthe ground because the officer thought he was going to flee. In all probability, the officer is going to have to take his lumps and hope he isn't terminated. I would doubt he'll be prosceuted, but I'd say his job is in real jeopardy. If these officers had just turned over the porta-potty, cleared the other porta-potties, and handcuffed the bad guy...I think they would have been fine. But the one kick is going to cost them and might put the whole incident in question. Once this gets political then all bets are off.

I tend to agree with you. I fucking HATE police corruption and brutality. I don't really have a problem with the porta-potty tipping. It's gross, but it works and nobody is injured. The kick to the ass afterwards was rather light. I don't feel like this is brutality when compared to police raping woman, pistol whipping teens, beating the shit outta grandmas and slamming pregnant women belly down to the ground. This is minor, and it's kinda funny that the guy would hide in there. On the other hand, if the guy was the wrong suspect, then the cops should pay for the dry cleaning.

Let's remember, the police are allowed to use SOME level of force to apprehend a suspect. Excessive violence causing injuries like lacerations and concussions is not the same as a boot in the ass.

thats a pretty shit way to get caught

[Oswald2001]

If you're gonna evade arrest...

Cops have been forced to now be too easy on criminals.

That is why there is more crime and disrespect for police officers.
