It looks like the dumb ass is resisting arrest. That pisses cops off.

I also wonder what the guy did right up to that point. Either way he is obviously resisting arrest and the cop isn't being excessive since he did order the guy to let go of the officer's arm but the guy refused.

The reason the cops on top of him is the guy is resisting arrest. He could easily stop resisting arrest and allow the cop to put the handcuffs on but he doesn't. The very fact that the dumbass can continually scream "Ican't breath" means he's breathing just fine.

Even if he couldn't then he'd pass out, the cops could then put the handcuffs on, and the guy would be just fine. He gets punched a few times because he's a dirt bag who's tryng to fight off two police and avoid being handcuffed. What do you want to bet he was caught red handed in a crime and that he tried to run and that's why two cops had to wrestle him to the ground with him kicking, screaming, and fighting the whole way?

This video does nothing but show the cops were correct and he was resisting arrest.

the cops in sd are so bored they spend their time pullin over drivers accusing them of drunk driving and then refusing to breathalize them, prefering to haul them to the station for a chemical test.

Do they teach cops to punch people in the face repeatedly?

Scream? Sounded more like a moan. I guess we should just call him a liar since no one ever says they can't breathe when in fact they merely have a hard time breathing.

They're crazier than the Eureka PD. I got a gun pointed at me because a cop didn't like how I was driving, I was simply confused because I was from out of town passing through. In Eureka they left me alone, for 6 years, until I started going to city council meetings, talking about compassion for the homeless and mentally ill. I was overjoyed to hear that the State Attorney General is going to investigate, but they just elected Jerry Brown to that post. He was making excuses for the Oakland cops, when the human rights commission of the UN was investigating them for shooting wooden bullets at anti-war demonstartors. I rarely vote Republican but I did because of Brown's abismal treatment of that case.

Che, I keep on hearing about how abusive the Florida cops are, any stories?

Whatever. It's quite obvious from the video he was breathing just fine.

No, it is not. He sounds like he's hyperventilating, he's stretched, making it hard for him to exhale, and he's got someone's shin across his throat. He's clearly panicking.

It could be different for that department, but I would think that there would be alternatives to punching someone, such as pressure points. On watching the video again, I see the main one I use is covered by his knee (I forget the technical term, but its a bundle of nerves about an inch under the ear and kinda behind the upper jaw), which I would say is actually on the side of his neck and along the chin (but it is lower than I would have put it).

Near the end of the clip, the officer does go to cover and resecure his weapon because the suspects hands were in the area.

It's a close call IMO, because of the repeated punching to the face, but like others have said, there maybe extenuating circumstances that required speed over technique.

I have a dream that someday police will punch people in the face regardless of race or religion.
