That was funny as hell.

What is going to be even funnier is when he sues the police force for $1,000,000. Then watch the guy laugh. Watch the Mayor laugh. Watch the City Council laugh. watch the tax payers in Lansing laugh. Yup, there is going to be a lot of laughter later on.

Oopps, my bad. I didn’t realize you were trolling.

Your use of “idiots” and immediate use of the “aloud” (allowed) in such close proximity made me laugh.

I agree. I was about to write something similar, but you did well enough.

There are millions of interactions with cops in potentially dangerous situations every day.

As there is in so many occupations.

Every small thing they do down to the routine traffic stop could be life-threatening to them.

How many cops were injured or killed during a traffic stop last year? (hint, almost as many as were injured or killed on their way to work)

This is a dangerous job,

Actually, no, it isn’t. It is well down the list of dangerous jobs.

Remember that you’re seeing (some of) the worst offenses here.

Yup. If you ever watch the “COPS Chasing Bad Guys” videos, they always show the same two dozen videos again and again. Watch the show “COPS” and you see the thuggish police breaking the law repeatedly. I suppose that is out of the millions of police interactions.

Why don’t they have shows showing the police tazering restrained prisoners? Why not show police tackling “suspects” into a wall so they break their neck? Why not show the videos of police shooting unarmed suspects with their hands up?

… given enough people, you’re going to find some bad apples.

Very true. Bad truck drivers are not only fired, they are charged. Bad accountants not only lose their license, they go to jail. Bad soldiers are not only discharged, they serve time. It seems only the police are immune from prosecution.

Don’t fault every cop you see for these assholes’ behavior.

If the police were doing their job they would have arrested the cop who fired his tazer. Instead they support him. If you support torture then you are no better than the person doing the torture.

I’ll support the police that condemn this assault.

If you aren’t part of the Blue mafia then you would be guilty.

Here’s a big F_U to all cops! Yea, my friends and cousins who are cops/investigators can die too. They are no different.

Your use of “idiots” and immediate use of the “aloud” (allowed) in such close proximity made me laugh. I can certainly understand the occasional spelling error, but that paragraph suggested to me that you should not throw stones in that department. (Read it “aloud” to see what I mean.)

There are millions of interactions with cops in potentially dangerous situations every day. Every small thing they do down to the routine traffic stop could be life-threatening to them. (YOU know that you’re not a 2-stike felon with a pistol under the driver’s seat, sweating over the few ounces of pot in the glove box — but the state trooper pulling you over for speeding doesn’t… This is a dangerous job, and one of power/authority. Remember that you’re seeing (some of) the worst offenses here. In government, military, police, or even your everyday jobs — given enough people, you’re going to find some bad apples. No question. Don’t fault every cop you see for these assholes’ behavior.

DO fault the system that lets these assholes get away with this crap. If I lived in Lansing, I’d be at every public official to find ways to end the system that protects cops who cross these clear lines of proper behavior.

It’s clear we need to start watching short, fat, white guys. Though it could be wrong to lump all the short, fat, white guys together just because of a few bad ones.

Cops are big muscled, like this; because of steroid use.

Cops are angry and aggressive; because of steroid use.

Anytime there is police brutality, as in this case; COPS SHOULD BE GIVEN A DRUG TEST FOR STEROIDS!!!!!!!

COPS ARE PIGS

How many times have we seen this?

When it comes to subduing people, are there any creatures less competent than these cops?

er, nevermind.

GO NASCAR AND JESUS!

This is a CRIME, not a “violation of a procedure.”

I’ll say it again… the conservatives’ love for torture is going to bite our homeland in the ass.

Yet, the moronic teabaggers think the biggest threat to freedom is healthcare.

Let me throw a stapler at your face in the course of your working day & see how fast your tune changes.
