Guess the guy should have taken the cash and free hotel.

Ft. Collins, CO police respond to an altercation at a bar. In the course of the incident, a cop tries to restrain a 22 year old woman. He holds both her wrists. She appears to struggle a little, perhaps trying to pull away. The cop body slams her. The jackasses filming it laugh.
The clip is short and lacking context. And apparently the woman was not badly hurt. On the one hand, this is minor compared to the majority of incidents in this thread. An incident without a dead civilian is a good one, I guess. On the other hand, it does look like the body slam was a bit excessive.
Black suspect is restrained and face down on the ground, so he apparently needs to be kicked in the head by one of the cops on the scene.
There’s a video at the linked page.
The cop involved in this case was also recently one of two officers involved in the shooting death of another black man. Witness accounts of the incident differed, and the man they shot was apparently armed. A grand jury declined to issue an indictment just last month.
Jaywalking suspect beaten by a cop on the ground.
On a side note, Nandi Cain is one cool name.
I’m sure the cop haters will be along to defend this thug, but Jaywalking is what we in law enforcement call a “gateway crime.” We don’t know for sure but statistics show that this thug had probably jaywalked before and would continue to jaywalk unless apprehended and punished. Eric Garner, who had to be put down in New York City for selling loosies, probably started his criminal career as a jaywalker.
A flagrant chronic jaywalker is probably going to graduate to changing lanes without signalling; from there it’s a short step to becoming a suicide bomber. And pity this poor cop! He apprehends a dangerous criminal, yet knew in his heart that a liberal judge would let the guy off without a prison term. :smack: It’s no surprise he wanted to do society a favor and punish Nandi Cain right now. We can’t be sure — two hos showed up to interfere with justice — but it appears the cop was trying to be merciful, maiming the thug for life instead of a simple extrajudicial execution.
And the proof that the cop was correct, that he needed to provide justice on the spot? When Cain was brought to the police station, he was just jailed overnight and let go the next day with no charges filed. :smack:
“Cain was initially arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest”
umm …
Why was the cop on the ground?
I can only imagine that this statement was released by noted Sacramento Police Chief, Colonel Cathcart.
I guess they lost the proper forms to charge him with vagrancy or loitering.
Florida Cop Charged in Shooting of Unarmed Therapist
Better late than never, I suppose.
For thos who do not like links, this was the one where the autistic guy who had a toy truck. A therapist tried, with arms reaching for the sky in traditional ‘I surrender’ pose, to keep the autistic guy from getting shot.
So the cop shot the therapist.
One cop sucker punches suspect, then other cop rushes in and stomps his head after he’s handcuffed.
videoed by two separate cameras
Someday, cops are going to have to assume that EVERYTHING they do is recorded.
great article! the interview with Michael Chitwood, former Daytona Beach police chief, now sheriff of Volusia County, particularly caught my eye
this man has my vote for sheriff of the US!

That was really despicable. The second cop was particularly cowardly to hit a man lying helpless on the ground.
It won’t change anything. Have you seen morons who post video evidence of their crimes online? It is the same sort of stupidity that will ensure police behaviour doesn’t change until hiring/ training change.
Well, at least in this case they both got fired. The chief of police said he was literally sick about it, so maybe this will lead to the rest of the force getting some training.
Slate has an article about this case including Officer Bongiovanni’s statement of the event.
The problem is much more than bad cops. It’s cops who don’t beat people up, but nonetheless cover for cops who do.
Do not pass Go; do not collect $200.

Yep, and it’s why the “few bad apples” argument will not hold any sway with me until the cops who witness this sort of behavior consistently speak out against it, willingly testify against the “bad apples” when the investigations and court cases come, and don’t stand up alongside the bad cops whenever someone criticizes police procedures.
Newfoundland cops kick it old school, have man committed for angry tweets.Seems like a really disgusting abuse of power, but I suppose there could be more to the story.
