Obviously the partner didn’t seem to think this situation required the level of force the officer was using because she(?) didn’t help out her partner against a pretty big guy. I don’t know about this local force, but federal policy doesn’t allow use of a baton against a passively resistant subject. It is supposed to be used as a defensive weapon against a combative subject that isn’t using a weapon. This officer was using his baton as a compliance tool.
This police brutality thing going on is way out of hand. We have to reign it in but that is going make room for liars, race pimps and criminals to go after police officers and get away with crime like they used to do. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be professional supervision - only criminal protection for officers no matter what they do - in some departments.
We have to swing it back and get our cops and their supervisors retrained and back in line. Some are acting like a corrupt foreign police and too many are getting away with it.
