Cop Assaults Air Force Capt. for Not Knowing Neighbor, Says He Could Have Tased or Shot Him Instead

This cop was more than likely bullied at school, so now he wears a uniform, he can get payback. Before being recruited, they should all be subjected to psychiatric evaluations. This type of cop is why people no longer respect the police. If a citizen asks them to answer a question, they are being confrontational and are harming the cop's fragile ego. And then they explode - costing the taxpayer a fortune, but still remain cops who get a slap on the wrist.

My mother was a nurse and was in a similar situation, but she was so protective of her patients she didn't care. They would overwhelm a patient who was combative by surrounding them with as many personnel as possible. They weren't allowed to even bruise a patient whom they were subduing, and police regularly bruise people just with the hand cuffs they use. Nurses were not allowed to sedate patients like in the movies because it is dangerous to knock someone out. An anesthesiologist is needed to sedate someone to the point of losing consciousness and then he needs to stay and make sure the person keeps breathing. Plus they often didn't know what else the patient might have taken and it would cause drug seekers to attack regularly. She has been threatened with a knife and she didn't shoot anyone, or kill anyone. Cops have turned into cowards. One two cops who broke that elderly woman's arm (stole flowers from Walmart) got his panties in a knot because he saw the female cop rub her arm. He was frantic, "Did you get scratched?"

[@sjgavenger37]

@Kurt Ogden To a point I agree. The only problem I have with that is you would be hurting the children of the officer, who are truly innocent and do not deserve to be hurt. Now I think that officers should be required to carry malpractice/liability insurance like a doctor or lawyer. Officers with no claims get a reduction in premiums and officers with claims get premiums raised. When the premium gets so high that the officer cannot afford it or the officer has so many claims that they become uninsurable then they loose their job. That is one way to slow get rid of the bad officers. Reward good behavior with decrease in premium cost and punish bad behavior with higher premium cost. Also that way the officer can't just go to another department or state and work again. If they cannot get insurance they cannot work. So several things would happen by doing that. 1) Tax payers wouldn't be flipping the bill for bad officer actions. 2) Save the local government money that can be used to better train officers or help low income areas. 3) Promote and reward good behavior and actions with officers. 4) Punish bad behavior and or actions of officers and hold them personally responsible for their actions. 5) Slowly weed out the bad officers by cutting out the protections of other corrupt officers and leaders.

Now switch the situation around: this air force captain asks this 'person' who he is and why hes on his property, then grabs this "officer" in a headlock and takes him to the ground. I guarantee you, he would have been charged with assault on a police officer and no one would have questioned it. But when a cop is the transgressor, good luck finding anyone to be on your side.

[@Glenarms]

Defending his personal property would of course be justified. Were this situation to have happened say at a park or other public arena I might have a different opinion, Yet this was an individual with identification on his own property. The use of force was not justified.

Of course they defended the officer's actions. Cops will always, always, always side with their own, even when their own are obviously in the wrong. They have an "us against them" attitude. Which would be bad enough, if it weren't for the fact that the people they're siding against are the ones they're supposed to be serving and protecting.

@deathrider Knowing this, the next time you are called to jury duty, suspect the government first and give the accused every benefit of the doubt. Make the state actually prove their case instead of just assuming that the guy would not be in trouble for no reason. There is now just too much evidence that shows that yes, big government is corrupt, and yes, when their cops screw up the heads rally behind them and support them even to the point of complete delusion.

This is EXACTLY why the public does not trust law enforcement anymore. The cop should've been reprimanded and put on desk duty indefinitely, after being put on leave without pay. Curbing this despicable behavior will send a strong message that cops cannot violate the civil rights of citizens, especially the innocent.
