nice theory . so everyone who has been punched in the head by cops must have been fighting or they wouldnt be getting punched in the head..
So lets just setup a hypothetical situation.. a bad cop punches and attacks unsuspecting person , arrests him and says he was fighting.. now by your flawed theory there is no bad cops , its impossible to lie and it didnt happen.. the cop said he fought thus he deserved to get attacked..
no offense but grab a clue..  |
No offense but for such a seemingly smart guy, you sure say a lot of stupid shit. Most cops are good. My definition of good for the sake of this discussion would be law-abiding, honest, professional and level-headed. Most of the people who cops get in trouble for pummeling are not good. They usually have previous offenses and a history of making seriously bad decisions. To blindly give the criminal the benefit of the doubt is extremely foolish.
Cops generally have to be good or they wouldn't get the job. These days, to become a cop you have to go through background checks, credit checks and a personality/mental evaluation. That doesn't mean that bad cops don't get in or that they don't become shitheads later on but as a general rule they do their jobs quite well.
Honestly, you're making a judgment based on the last few seconds of the video. You have NO idea what happened prior to this chucklehead getting punched by the police. If he was fighting the police before he was taken down and is continuing to struggle (as is seen) on the video, the police are completely and totally justified in punching him to gain control. I applaud the cop who is hitting him for showing amazing restraint and only using his fist when there are other more painful options within easy reach.
