I watched it as it was happening. Different time zone. Becareful of edited video. They all jumped on him to help the original cop.

This guy was not resisting arrest. This is going to cost the city a bunch of money.

I watched it live on Fox & Friends, you could see an investigation coming, the hosts of Fox & Friends said Uh-oh when the cop started to slam the guy.
I also notice one of the cops grab ahold of the guy hitting him and push him away.

Police going on high speed chases is dangerous enough for the public, then they can't even do their job right by simply arresting the guy. What heroes.
To: Smogger
Fox News carried the action live this morning. I could not believe the cops beat this guy up knowing they were being watched. It was real obvious that one cop was very angry with this guy. He beat him with a flash light until another cop grabbed him and pulled him away.
Stuff like this is what really give cops a bad name. This beating was totally unnecessary.

>>My dad used to tell me that rape was almost never prosecuted in 1930's Cleveland Ohio. The police would just take the perp out behind the station house and beat the tar out of them.
Seemed to work pretty well.<<
Effective and surprisingly inexpensive.
And an excellent stress reliever to boot.

The old-timers around here talk about the days when the sheriff would just shoot vagrants at the edge of town and dump their bodies down old abandoned mine shafts.

It's hard to see much detail about the criminal from the tape, but if I heard the story right, the car was stolen and the chase ended in Compton, CA, which if I recall correctly is largely black section of greater Los Angeles.
Because of the Rodney King incident, this could end up being another flashpoint if the criminal is black and the police are perceived as trying to cover up the incident. The Rodney King riots didn't occur until the police officers were acquitted of that beating in the state courts, so if it's an analogy, there is plenty of time to defuse the situation.

And he probably deserved the beatdown.
But he should of had twenty years or so tacked onto the street justice rather than send him home to do it again in the future.

The guy got smacked 10 times,
but more importantly the news video replay is one of the clearest I've seen on the web. Bravo KABC, for web clarity!
Now back to our story-
Take the cops flashlight batteries away for 1 week and make him wear pink panties on his head for 2. That'll teach him!!

I also notice one of the cops grab ahold of the guy hitting him and push him away.And how did this guy not remember that the heli would be taping his every move? Idiot.

In _this_ case, let the perp kick and hammer 'flashlight boy' a dozen times, without restraint or retribution. That'll teach all the other doughnut-eaters a lesson - and maybe give 'em an opportunity get together, dress-up for the TV cameras, meet old friends, black bands over their tin stars, the same old stuff...
