How true it is; never idolize any human institution no matter how noble its avowed purpose. Police need prayers too, that they would do the right thing not just legally but morally and ethically (in a word, being visibly reflective of God’s goodness within the scope of their assignments).

I hope this lying sack-o-$hit is fired

cops like this should go to jail in general population

What the heck could the guy possibly have said that required a takedown ????

not only a take down in the store but a SECOND take down in the street WHILE handcuffed onto his face

Cope probably needed to establish that “he asked for it” and mark him up a bit

I would still like to know what exactly the man said to the cop, though...

(just out of curiosity)

According to the article the officer was called because they thought that their room was being burglarized.

They probably wanted the officer to come up and check it out, but he balked at that idea.

That’s probably when he said something like “you’re a police officer — why don’t you do your job???”

And that’s when he attacked him.

Is there a place on the internet that has a listing documenting all the police overreach occurring in this country?

Forcing people to donate to politically favored charities as a condition of a plea is very common these days.

Just did a search. This looks pretty good. . .

It is increasingly likely that you are correct.

I pray that more Freepers become aware of the problem before they and their families become victims.

May the Lord be merciful and protect the innocent from such tyranny.
