Those cops should be sued for every penny they have, besides the city being sued for millions. And the cops should be fired and jailed for assault under color of authority. They give all cops a bad name, and it becomes understandable why some citizens choose to kill cops. Not that I’m saying that should happen, but incidents like this make it known why many people are fearful of cops. Just because a few a-holes on the force act like animals. Poor guy, hopefully he gets millions for the aggravation, completely unwarranted attack by cops.
Part of the 90% that give the other 10% a bad name
The taxpayers of a city don’t owe a victim millions.
Did you see all of the video? If someone is stopped by the police they need to do what the cop tells him/her to do. If the person resists detainment/arrest, repeatedly disobeys instructions, keeps reaching for something(which could be a gun) and/or takes a swing at or kicks a cop, he’s going to be roughed up. It sounds like the perp was on drugs, kicking and fighting after multiple tases.
Should the city's taxpayers be penalized for the misbehavior of those cops?
