i have to respond.
i have been on both sides of the bars. 10 years this side, 4 days that side. and, both sides SUCK!
i do not advocate kicking anyone's ass or beating anyone down. learned a long time ago that it is much easier to handle it before it goes to blows. namely, the civiil liability is simply not worth it.
however, when deadly force is threatened (by either side) it changes the complextion of the situation. that's why most progressive depts. use beanbags, rubber bullets, taser, etc.
what is particulary disturbing to me is the blatent admission to beating the prisoner down. dude, better get your head straight before it hits internal affairs.
again, i do not condone excessive force. but, i do endorse peace officer rights. as long as the affected c/o is operating within legitimate perameters.
word of advice for whatever it's worth; if you're going to conduct business in that fashion, don't discuss it in a public venue. 0r, if you do, take caution with regards your summarizing. you already look guilty and IA only looks at perception.
ok, sorry, i'm ranting.
