Thats just pathetic, I really want to beat his ass for that.

It happens.

I have even seen it happen in real life. Its just that finally the prevalence of cameras practically everywhere you walk is making the frequency of such incidents more apparent.

Before, it was just your word against the police (Good luck with that!)

Now the police have to talk real fast to try to convince people that they are not seeing what they think they are seeing. (Good luck with that!)

I like how he comes back to clean up the evidence, you forgot about the thing in the corner. Yes the camera.

By kicking her shoe at him like that she assaulted a police office. That said, holy **** did he overreact!! I hope he's not working in corrections/law enforcement any longer.

exactly, he was acting out in anger and is basically a coward. he shouldn't be a police officer if he can't control his emotions.

Since there is no sound on the video, I'll assume She was probably acting like a typical mouthy teenager, f*cking deserved it, stupid b*tch! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/devil1.gif

I'm being sarcastic, he went way OTT, see how long it takes before someone sees the whitetext!

Hey in Islamic countries she´d be dead now

So, for whatever that´s worth, meh
(i´m j/k, like the others said way OTT)

Im all about respecting the law..but shouldnt cops also? if anyone did that on the streets,we would goto jail with a simple assualt charge,and get 6 months in jail..cops, should never use force when dealing kids.imo,unless they have to protect themselfs..

Only the bad cops get on tv.

Well duh. No one wants to see police doing their daily normal job!

I thought that's what the original link was. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/wink1.gif

What about the TV series "Cops"?

It's boring as hell!

Point, Set, Match

A normal thing that cops do that bothers me is speeding.

Now I don't care if people speed some, or if they do...but my issue is that they consistently speed, and at a rate they consistently pull others over for.

It really grinds my gears.

Think about it, how often to you see a patrolman in the middle or right lane, going within 5 mph of the speed limit? How often in the left, 10-15mph faster than anyone?

If you live in an area with "fake" speed limits, where everyone is 15mph+ over, this doesn't apply...they also aren't busting everyone.

If you are in a moderately populated area with a tenancy for use of speeding tickets as a major revenue source you know what I mean.

thank you! I had Peter Griffin's voice in my head when I typed that.

I used to think like this. The last time I thought it was a about two years back. I was driving down our road as a cop rolled on past us so I remark to my wife something along the lines of what makes them think they can drive like that? A minute later we (almost) get home to find that they were responding to a fire at our apartment block. Just because a cop car doesn't have it's lights on doesn't mean it isn't responding to an emergency.

These days we live on the other side of town and every day I drive past the county government center. The Sheriff cars are always driving at a reasonable speed around there. I've never once seen them going 10MPH over the speed limit.

Getting off top now, but this makes me thing of when Jeremy Clarkson said to one of the members of what I think is England's department of transportation..

"What is the stopping distance from 70 MPH?" he didn't know so Jeremy says "Its 315 feet" The guy says I'm sure the highway code is correct. Jeremy says "it's wrong.. an aston martin can stop in half that... so why can't aston's go twice the speed limit. :P"

'Cause double the speed quadruples the stopping distance!
About 100mph would be right.

That's actually one of my biggest grievances - why is a beat up old Landrover, with worn drum brakes, tired suspension and crossply knobbly tires "safe" at 100kph (our limit), yet a late model car, with ABS, disc brakes, performance tyres, etc, dangerous at 111 kph (where they start ticketing)?
Heck, I had a (UK spec') Chevette that stopped in under 100ft (seriously!) with warm tyres and brakes from 120kph - non-stock tyres and pads, though! Incredible stopping power and still haven't found a match!


Back on topic - anyone know what happened to the cop?
