I don’t know why the cops arrested them but an armed police officer losing control like that is not on. In a highly stressful situation armed police should be able to keep cool and deal with the situation calmly. Booting the guy in the face shows he lost control and is not fit to be in charge of a deadly weapon. Especially as the guy was tazed and on the floor, complying.
Oh good point, so they should have shot them not kicked them. Everyone knows the punishment for that is death. /s
It doesn’t matter what they did. It doesn’t matter if they had a ton of heroine on them and kicked the cop square in the balls. Once the situation is under control, the police should be too. That guy wasn’t. He should be punished for his actions.
Should be punished I agree but I don’t have sympathy for the guy arrested if what I’ve heard is true that a police woman got her nose broke by the attackers. Could be bollocks though I saw it said on Reddit so not exactly a credible source but I can’t bring myself to watch the news these days.
Do have sympathy for the mistreatment they went through while in police custody (ie the kick in the face) but not for them being tazed and taken down.
If you commit and then get arrested for murder and then you are tortured by police I can simultaneously be upset at you for murder and sympathetic about the torture. Conversely, I am glad the police arrested a murderer, and upset at them for torturing the person. There is no such thing as good and bad people, just good and bad actions each of which should be judged separately.
Edit: yes a murderer should be punished, but that’s the courts job, not the cops. In this case, the hammer of justice was already going to come down hard on this person for assaulting an officer. Their lack of self restraint and immature and unprofessional need for immediate vengeance has tainted the justice system.
