I watched an assault and wondered

[PapaBear434]

I'll come out of my long dormancy and also join the chorus in saying "this is pretty obviously fake." It's like a bulleted checklist from a Powerpoint presentation of what might constitute police brutality.

Seriously. Hollywood could have come up with a more plausable brutality case.

"They pointed to a camera and drug him off" - raises my bs flag... I could see them nod, or mention it to on another.. But it sounds to storybook to me.

Can't count the number of times that's happened on-scene. Honestly and literally, I can't. I don't want to make a statement that sounds accusatory, but perhaps because of violence or roughness in the areas I work, it's a little more common? Different worlds, I suppose.

I work in THE most violent areas in California... And I've never seen it... Maybe the local pd here have a little more tact. Granted I've seen my fair share of police roughness - but it wasn't undeserved.

This is the statement that made me throw the flag.

I heard a weird clicking sound which make my puppy go crazy.

Anyone who is old enough to be out with there boyfriend walking their puppy and have taken a basic first aid class a decade ago is old enough to have atleast seen a taser on TV enough to be able to recognise one.

I've also seen police beat plenty of people down, or atleast the aftermath of it, and I can say over 90% of the time, the person getting the beating brought it on themselves.

P.S. sorry about any misspelling. No spell check on this computer.

Welcome back!!!!

And you're right sounds totally contrived.

Even if the posting person was just projecting stuff onto a poorly understood situation, the negative prejudice was there. Too bad. (sigh)
