Controversial encounters between law-enforcement and civilians - the omnibus thread

Clothahump – if that exact same force applied by the officer had happened to be at the wrong angle and snapped the girl’s neck, would you still feel that it was the appropriate amount of force? In such a case, did the officer have no choice but to apply deadly force?

In other words, no, you do not have a link to a video showing the girl attacking the man, but you do have a link to a video that shows the man attacking the girl.

You have quite a vivid imagination. Too bad you are so insistent in supporting violent child abuse.

No, that is not the worst thing about Sharia Law.

Clothahumper! Flying leg kicks to the sternum, all around! Woo hoo!

I see Clothahump wallowing in ignorance and, out of sympathy, I root for the guy. I’m hoping that amidst the reptilian brain there’s a functioning cerebrum or a glimmer of humanity.
But …

Save yourselves a click, Dopers. This is NOT the “third video” which shows the girl striking the cop. At the 1:20 mark, sheriff just alleges the existence of a “third video.” THAT is Mr. Hump’s big contribution. AFAIK, the “third video”, like the “gunman on the grassy knoll,” has not turned up.

You think we’re going to watch a YouTube when you can’t be bothered to indicate which point in the video tickled your amygdala? I’ve watched 2-hour documentaries at other Dopers’ recommendation, but you’ll need more than this to induce a click. Is THIS finally the “third video”? What’s the timestamp for the attack on cop?

That’s quite a nasty cough you’ve got there.

(Seriously, dude, I heard you were smarter than this. . . . From someone . . . )

*Coises! Ninja’d!

Well, whoever posted the video titled it “THIRD VIDEO Shows Spring Valley Student…PUNCHING South Carolina School POLICE OFFICER In The FACE!!” so there’s your evidence.

The grainy ultra-slo-mo shows her right hand reaching up and touching, possibly striking, the right side of his jaw, well after he has started to pick up and tip her over in her chair. The problem is the privacy-blurring of her face also obscures the contact, if any.

So no, you have absolutely no video of her striking his face. You have however a video that again shows him using a dangerous take down that was completely inappropriate, just like all the others.

I have very serious concerns for your students if they rely on your “teachings” in a potential self defence situation.

Unfortunately, some of these steroid freaks think exactly that. That they’re authorized to use deadly force, they get to decide when to use it based on their own [del]fears[/del] ahem, ‘grasp of the situation’ and civilians like you and me have nothing to say about it or we’re supporting CRIMINALS!

The notoriously brutal Denver police department

Innocent 77-yo Blind Man Called 911 for Help, Cop Shows Up, Beat & Arrested Him for No Reason

It ends well. He survived and, after three years, won a lawsuit against the cop. Unfortunately, the Denver tax payers are the double loser. They paid for the $400,000 judgment and they get to keep the cop who didn’t get any disciplinary action taken against him. Will officer Kyllion Chafin kill his next victim?

Watch the video again, especially the second one. And please note that the desk going backwards is as a result of the kid fighting, not a “body slam” (is that the new buzzword that libs were instructed to use on this?).

Let’s go back to the beginning. This whole incident came about because of the actions of the girl, not the actions of the officer. When I say he had no choice but to compel her, I mean exactly that. She had already defied a teacher, a school administrator, and the officer, more than once. When you have dug yourself that deeply into a hole, nothing good will come of it.

Oh, and he didn’t cause “grievous harm” to her.

Your question is meaningless. You might as well ask, what if purple monkeys were flying around the room while it all happened.

He didn’t apply deadly force. You can what-if this all you want, but I’ll go by the video.

Sigh. Watch the videos again. Especially the second one, where the action is slowed down so that low-IQ people can see her hitting the officer in the face. Sorry you missed that.

Where have you clowns come up with this “deadly force” bullshit in this incident? I know I’m not on the mailing list for liberal talking points, but this is even dumber than usual.

It’s **your **mindset, Clothy, not ours.

Quite clearly, ‘talking points’ are a Conservative Carney Barker approach. Listen to any Conservative and you’ll hear, word for word, what Rush/Beck/Hannity said. I’ve never hear (or paid attention) to any so-called “Liberal” talk show hosts “talking points”.

Emphasis added, and quoted for truth: low-IQ people can certainly see that. The rest of us see the girl flailing her arms trying to stay upright.

You are almost preternaturally stupid, Clothahump. I’ve no idea how you keep managing to operate your keyboard well enough to type this drivel.

Clothahump, you are delusional. Pity that you are into child abuse.

Are you actually blind, or just stupid-blind? 'Cause when I watch it I see Officer Asshole’s left hand underneath her left knee, lifting and flipping her over. Note that his hand continues to hold said knee after she is well and truly flipped. I don’t see her doing anything that even begins to comport with your description.

Are you some kind of frustrated cop wanna-be, desperate for power over other people? Your fantastical mischaracterization of this event suggests as much. Or maybe you’re just a stupid person, filled with stupid partisan ideas, unable to reason your way through an event that goes against your innermost preferences, which involve subjugation of anyone who defies you. Regardless, I don’t really care. There’s little your posts are good for, except as entertainment for rational people of all political persuasions. Yes, to point and laugh, that part’s my favorite! Keep tossing them out there, your little pearls are better than stand-up comedy night at the local bar.
