Police Standards Are A Problem

If they have a gun and are shooting at you, yes. If they're stealing candy bars, no. Not that hard.

Oh, i. missed the part where the cop killed the 14 year old thief.  The video only showed him taking him to the ground.  Couldn't tase him,  that would be excessive force to you.  Cant hit him with a baton,  excessive force again to you.  Cant take him down either,  i guess.  Cops just gotta say "pretty please let me handcuff you and take you to jail",  and hope for compliance.  When it isn't gained,  i guess they just walk away? 

 

It's interesting that implicit in your rambling nonsense of a post upthread, is one certain fact: That 13 year old boys are capable of causing violence / death to other people.  In this case the thief didn't have much time to decide and act upon that. The officer doesn't know if the kid has a knife/gun/etc. The moment physical resistance is encountered,  swift and decisive control becomes necessary.  Whether or not you understand this is irrelevant.  Its not your legal obligation to make that decision from your perch upon a steaming pile of ignorance.  

 

NEWSFLASH: putting a full size human that doesn't want to go  in handcuffs, in handcuffs,  can be difficult and dirty work.

1. (the bolded) I never made that point or suggested it -- you did for some reason. Your logic is squirrelly at best so I wont try to follow it.

 

2. ESCALATION OF FORCE -- it starts with 'come here, son' and not a body slam. 

3. You're an idiot for the 2nd bolded. Why are soldiers required to make proper identification of a deadly threat, but cops can just assume the potential when it comes to a child? That seems idiotic. 

4. Your 3rd bolded -- as a guy who has killed people and used deadly force I think I know a thing or two about restraint and being decisive. 

 

5. I've put many a person in cuffs....well, zip strip cuffs. It's not that hard. 

6. The kid deserved detention or in school suspension, not a body slam by an armed, grown man.

Uh... what? Cops have to identify a deadly threat before using deadly force. Again,  i missed the part where deadly force was used.  This was a simple take down.

 

It's funny that you watch a 4 second video and presume that's where the incident started.

I don't at all see what the big deal was.  Kid got what he deserved and was lucky he didn't get more.  He was being a clown.

 

He doesn't appear to be injured at all in either the video or the news follow-up story.  But what if he was paralyzed?  What if he died?  What if he was my son?  Some day we'll stop judging some fake scenario and instead deal with what actually did happen.

Coach has no legal right to detain anybody. The kid can legally fight the coach if he puts his hands on him. That is not resisting arrest.  He broke the law by stealing a candy bar. He did not break the law by getting away from the coach. The police broke the law by assaulting a minor. 

 

Your "understanding" of what is permissible during the commission of a crime is uninformed.

 

In Georgia, as in most places, it is lawful for a private citizen to detain or subdue someone who is destroying or stealing private property:  https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2010/title-17/chapter-4/article-4/17-4-60

 

Individuals have every right to stop and detain someone who is committing a crime.

 

As far as your second assertion that the police "assaulted" a minor:  No, they did not, they used a low level physical force to stop an individual who was resisting their lawful authority.

You apparently don't know jackschit about being decisive.  It's easy to pull a trigger on someone 350 yards away in a "third world shithole" where "Hajis" are seen as some subhuman form of life by you.  Being decisive is making a split second decision to control a situation before it escalates,  knowing full well that everyone and their brother is recording it and every dumbass and douchebag on the internet will judge you for your actions,  even if they are legal and proper.

1. I mean, yeah. You can't just kill people -- that's murder.

 

2. Their violence of action was completely unnecessary. I could have handled that situation with no violence. 

3. I don't presume that -- you just presume I do.

Youre a ***** idiot. 

 

Stealing a candy bar should never result in being slammed.

The coach was stopping the riot- it was within his job duties as a member of the school staff.

 

The police further stopped the riot. It’s not assault when the police are stopping a crime. It’s their job.

Yep.

 

But note that the original poster is a known congenital idiot.  

 

Is that me that you’re referring to?
