I don't wonder why there is always small percentage of folks that hate the police...there are always going to be groups of left leaning folks that rail against authority, America, and the status quo...they used to be called Hippies...now it's Occupy, Justice For Michael Brown, etc.

You Lefties seem to always think that when I explain how the law and normal police policy works I'm defending the cops. I'm trying to educate on what is happening and what will happen. I never have said I agree or disagree with reality...you just assume that part. I just give the reality of what's going on from the law enforcement perspective. You guys just can't seem to grasp that. When I say the coppers in this video will be fired...no one agrees...you just start harping on what should happen regardless of reality. I already said that the two officers will loose their jobs and in all likelihood be sued as well, but I doubt they'll be prosecuted. So for that I'm stupid? Misguided? Because I understand how the process really works? You guys are the one's without a clue...bitching here on DR about incidents you have no real idea about...wishing for a reality that will never happen...the utopian dream. Fantasyland bullshit is what it is. If you guys think you're so smart and righteous...then get involved instead of just clogging up the comments here on DR and arguing with everyone...get involved.

By the way Mr Black...the Hippies from the 1960's called and said that the word "Pig" is reserved for folks actually old enough to remember the 1960's.

The punches to the face I do believe were excessive but tripping the cow was cool, we used to do that down on the farm but your right 30564U they fucked themselves with the camera crap.

Strangely, it isn't against the law or against general police policy to strike a suspect in the face when you are attempting to stop a suspect from destroying evidence, ingesting harmful drugs, and/or keep the suspect from chocking or causing harm to himself. Now, how hard and frequently you can strike a suspect in this circumstance is up for debate and will more than likely be the determining factor for future disciplinary action. Colorado's urban areas are quite liberal and anti-police, so it wouldn't surprise me that they lynch this officer no matter his justification.

As far as tripping the screaming pregnant idiot...no foul there. Officers are given very wide latitude in dealing with third parties interfering with an ongoing arrest. The pregnant idiot sure looked to me like she was going to kick the officer when he sweep her kankles out from under her. Her being pregnant will play no role or factor in this use of force investigation...only the media will harp on this aspect of the use of force. There is absolutely no excessive or unreasonable use of force on the pregnant chick...she's a non issue.

Now, for the real issue and the hinge pin for any criminal case and any future civil case...grabbing the camera device and intentionally erasing the video. This one act was by far the worst thing the officers could do or did during this entire incident. It leads even the most pro-police viewer (like me) to immediately think there was a conspiracy to destroy evidence. See, by trying to destroy video evidence they put out the idea that they did something wrong or illegal (whether they did or not). That those officers tried to do that indicates that even those officers thought what they did was illegal or wrong...they just sunk themselves. Regardless of how hard or frequently the officer hit the bad guy, no matter that he tripped an idiot screaming pregnant woman, no matter anything else that occurred during that incident, trying to erase the video was the worst and most inexcusable action those copper took.

There are rebutable issues of use of force in this incident, but those are overshadowed by the intentional illegal actions of officers to conceal their controversial activity. In other words, I could have gotten them off the hook with hitting the bad guy and tripping the pregnant idiot...but there's no way in Hell anyone can justify intentionally seizing a camera device from a third party and intentionally attempting to erase evidence and then engaging in an undocumented conspiracy to conceal their ham handed attempts at destroy evidence. These are criminal actions that will make a civil suit a cakewalk to win. It will probably never even go to court. What boobs. If only they hadn't tried to destroy the video.
