The absolute backwards world we live in where people defend the criminals. Until of course they actually need the police.

@UW_Student that couldn’t be anymore of an idiotic inaccurate statement that has nothing to do with the use of force during a lawful arrest that will be judged in court, you must be a professional student, enjoy your 100k in debt and your minimal wage job😂

The fact that people are defending criminals is wild

Independent_Emergency_ReporterDec 2 at 8:00 PM

@xxbenny not a criminal till proven guilty. Assault on the cop’s behalf on the other hand is a criminal offense

shawteeDec 1 at 7:34 PM

love how all the people freaking out over a cop hitting a criminal, will be the first to hit you in the face and pul your hair

@shawtee because you know the whole story right? You were there???

His hand is reaching the cops belt. What if he grabs the gun or tries to hurt the officer? Yea he needed to be punched. He didn't even punch hard. Cop just tried to get him to weaken so they can grab his hands. You don't see the man trying to grip for the sewer? Cops need to protect themselves at all cost. They didn't hurt the guy and if you use common sense you see why they couldn't pepper spray him. Their too close

@NorthGraftonUser891470006 “sir, we think , from your actions, you may be having a mental crisis or you may be on drugs. It may cause you to hurt yourself or someone else. Would you please stand up and walk over to the police car so we can take you to get the help you need.” You really think this guy would even hear them , much less comply???
