This is some disturbing crap let me tell you. The poor guy's bike chain fell off his bike and he was trying to fix it. No punching or physical force just the guy did not understand. He worked nights as a dishwasher.

EDIT:The guy took down the video went and found it posted somewhere else on Youtube.

I had to stop watching after 90 seconds because this just pissed me off.

Poor guy was scared of the cop and the cop had no reason to search him. The guy wasn't even suspicious.

Unfortunately more and more of this is happening out there in this Country. Many people like this man are living on their own. They get work and they do jobs that they can do. Yet this officer decided to act like the big man. This is a case of incompetence of the highest order. Anyone who has worked with the mentally ill know that many do not understand and will react this way. The officer should have offered to help the man. You missed the 4 other police officers who jumped in.

this type of shit has been happening for quite awhile, i doubt its happening any more than it used to, just its filmed way more then it ever was in the past. if not for the vid that poor guy would prob still be in jail for assaulting a police officer, reaching for his gun and whatever else BS they would put on him.


I say it all the time, its so simple to fix the policing problems. you want to be a cop?? great, wear a small camera and mic at all times on the job. infact if you are a good cop it will help your job as you will always have evidence of what happened.

This is worth trying on a broad scale.

Interesting idea.

This is being trialed in London. Coppers are being issued with small cameras that attach to their uniforms.

 

[KrazyKanadian]

Now this is disgusting. Nothing will happen to him though...he'll probably get a pat on the back for stopping such a vicious offender.

All cops should have cameras on them when in uniform. It is extremely easy to impersonate a cop just look confused and fire in all directions. :icon_lol: This is ridiculous we should have our military discipline these losers with extensive training.

You guys are anti police. The guy resisted arrest. Just because he's mentally challenged doesn't give him the right to cry and resist. The cops were on the right on this one that is why the review deemed their actions 'appropriate'.

Isn't militarization of the police part of the problem? More and more of these pigs are opting for armored vehicles, assault weapons, and drones. Its crazy.

Obviously you never worked with the mentally ill have you? You would know that if the officer had approached him in a kind manner he would have likely smiled. Instead the officer approached him right off asking him for his ID. The officer was not interested in the least talking to the man first to determine if he needed help. He likely saw him and thought here is some drunk on the street. The officer was completely in the wrong in every possible way. This is not anti police I know plenty of officers and many have a ton more common sense then this officer has going for him.

This seems to apply to your post. Its Cambridge I know but I am too lazy to fix it.

 

[ProBoxingInsidr]

basically this guy was being charged for "failure to kiss an officers ass." these cops see weak people and look to terrorize them, period. and this can be recorded, but it doesnt mean shit. that waste of oxygen cop wont face any disciplinary action at all.

cops are just bullies that want to fuck with people. in between their occasional acts of heroism or good work, we have to deal with multiple examples like this of a cop just being a dick for no reason. and his fellow cops will back him because they all do the same shit.

and this is why i cry a little less when i hear about bad things happening to cops than i do to the general public.

 

[Groundmaster]

No - rather pro human. I swear if I'd see the police treat a mentally handicapped person like this I'd make it my personal goal to destroy them by any means possible.

I hope you die in a fire.

Go away troll.

 

[beralin1971]

So one guy wishes I die in a fire and another calls me a troll because I sided with the police. I know Sherdoggers are anti-police but you seen the video but are being blinded by hatred towards cops. The guy was moaning & screaming nonstop. He was told to be quiet numerous times but didn't. That was RESISTING arrest. Also there was no SIGN on this guy's forehead let alone an ID that states he was mentally handicapped. Cops are not mind-readers. And even if he was mentally ill that doesn't give him a free-ticket to resist. Police in general cannot take chances because its life & death out there. You guys will never understand this because you are not police officers. *shrug*

The guy was moaning & screaming nonstop.

Bc that is how children react to being brutalized. His mental age is: not very old.

He was told to be quiet numerous times but didn't. That was RESISTING arrest.

No that was not following orders. Shouting is not resisting arrest.

Also there was no SIGN on this guy's forehead let alone an ID that states he was mentally handicapped. Cops are not mind-readers.

On average its fairly easy to discern if a person is retarded. If you are not able to do it you should not qualify as a police officer.

And even if he was mentally ill that doesn't give him a free-ticket to resist. Police in general cannot take chances because its life & death out there.

What a load of crap. Its life and death out there - where do you think those clowns where policing - Baghdad?

You guys will never understand this because you are not police officers. *shrug*

No its because we are not asshats that we refuse to condone these actions purpetrated by somebody who is paid by the public to enforce the law and ensure the piece.
