Hyperbole much?Cop in America doing a bad job, again

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Hyperbole much?If that's misbehaving, then I don't ever wanna behave. How do we know it's nothing harmless though? Assuming she's over 18 and wasn't kidnapped. Could be his wife, gf, mistress, local strumpet, etc just happy to see him.
What has lead you to believe it's a minor? Pretty big shout if it's from watching that 15 second video, in which you can see no distinguishing human features at all.
In the context of climate change (not to mention the risk of nuclear warfare which at times has been averted only by sheer good fortune), is he wrong? It’s a lot harder to dispute than in it initially appears.
It’s explained later in comments section
Not really, no.
Has there been any follow up on this?
All 4 of them should be up on charges and every charge booked against PoC investigated as there's no way there shouldn't be suspicion of them trumping up charges and falsifying claims in the same manner they intended to do the man in the video. Absolute scum.
Did a quick google.
All 5 remain on the job & the police union representative says, “it wasn’t a beating, it was to try to get the compliance that was needed”.

This thread genuinely darkens my day and outlook on certain things, which is why I'm visiting it less these days. This is just the filth caught on camera. It doesn't bear thinking about how many times a day this kind of thing goes unchecked nor can the amount of innocent lives they ruin be underestimated. A lifetime on the job up until pension; how many crimes can people like this execute over a solid three decades?
There are problems in Europe, but this so-called civilised, first-world country are in a league of their own and all of it gets swept under the rug or is normalised to the point people don't bat an eye to the injustices that are gotten away with in an elementary, state-funded fashion.
Same. This, the George Floyd, Racism & Karen threads really have worn me down recently; I come in with energy but find it so hard to continue revisiting & chat room litigating scenarios time after time.
It’s astounding how the charges against him can be dropped upon viewing of the tape but all 5 arresting officers are still under investigation & remain on the job.
He was charged with Resisting Arrest, Criminal Impersonation, Pedestrian on a roadway & Assaulting a police officer [I highlight the latter in italics because I’m dismissing it offhand, it simply didn’t happen] - for which of the prior 3 does that spokesperson deem their violent actions reasonable?
That spokesman is the human embodiment of why the system fails; I don’t need to hear more from him; to call those offices ‘restrained’ in their actions let’s me know exactly what treatment he believes certain citizens deserve.

Appears some US police officers would like to keep the right to murder anyone they dislike even after retirement.
This is so low, I even have trouble believing its real.
Wtf???? Bloody hell, this is real?? And others just say; "You are going to jail now".
Unfortunately it does seem to be real. I just can't believe there are so many sociopathic assholes working in the police in a developed country.
But yeah, you saw, he ran over his foot = Assault on officer.
Someone out there is probably making the argument that he could have been justifiably shot for that so should feel lucky.
I'm not sure about this one watching the video. He is struggling like crazy and they're trying to get him to put his legs straight and stop resisting...poor policing but I don't think it's as bad as a lot that I've seen posted here!
Scum.
No words I can post on here. Making me very angry.
So wait, a disabled man accidently ran over his feet. So he pushed him over onto the floor and they arrested him?

Watch the whole thing and come back and say that. Look at the false charges they filed against him and come back and say that.
They started beating him for seemingly no reason, but claims he was reaching for a gun (with his hands cuffed behind his back, being led by three officers). He was perfectly compliant up until they started beating him, and you can't really fault someone for flailing their legs about when armed psychopaths are hitting them with nightsticks while you're being held down.
preserving this
A wheelchair is a deadly weapon you know against 5 armed cops.
Link me to the full video. The one I saw in the post wasn’t clear.

When a man in a wheelchair is coming towards you and you are in the way you don't just stand there looking at him, you move out of the way. The way he was standing his ground like that makes it look like he wanted him to run into him so he could assault him.
That a pretty big claim to make. Where are the facts on her age?
What the heck was wrong with that guy? I stopped the video as he was being led into the patrol car to catch a ride.
I was just repeating what alot of the comments to the tweet were saying.
You crazy!
I don't want to take away from the fact that this thread is about horrendous examples of police brutality, I just think this instance of incompetence also shows the attitude cops have. Plus it's funny. Guy out there pepper spraying black ghosts.

See, I already regret my comment above. Police stuff is just not funny, it's disgusting.
<have to remember to keep it constructive>
So when is the Norman, OK PD going to be seriously defunded and people responsible put in jail and have their pensions cancelled? All the way up to the chief.
This is a bit of a déjà vu. Is this a new story or one getting posted again?
EDIT: It seems my brain had placed this further in the past, somehow.
The lady cop seemed to be the only one to do anything sensible! He's cuffed, all it needs is someone to tie his legs and they spend minutes arsing around hitting him.
Because they wanted to...
