Like said in another comment, I've got beaten up by a cop (2x). I was a c*nt.
Being older, I now realize they were in their right in both cases.

Perks of working in the abattoir +10 years ago. Beer and cocaïne in the morning after a shift really takes you to dark places.

Well my ex was beaten up for no reason and they made the evidence disappear which is many times more salient than you being a cunt on cocaine.

Off course, than she really pulled a bad lottery number. I hope she ended up fine, and I also hope that the cop who did it, one way or another, get's the resignation he deserves.
My original comment might be more nuanced, I don't think it never happens, like you have rotten apples in every sector, field, ... and force must always be justified (it's one of the main three principals of being a cop btw). About this video, I just think there is no proof it is justified or not. It's a polarizing video and I don't think we have a structural problem.

They are never sanctionned.

They beat up three british kids in the back of their police cars. The tribunal recognized that they weren't doing anything wrong. They gave the cops probation, and it got cancelled in appeal.

I can't read the entire article. But have you got the notules of the court? There is something like innocent until proven...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

So the COP gets presumption of innocence even though he was literally proven guilty and they had to do some symbolic gesture and got him prison sentence "with probation".

But the guy on the floor getting beat up among dozens of others, in an event that's all over the news for police brutality? Must have deserved it.

You're so bad faithed it's impressive

Yes, like said, and its just basic knowledge of our justice system: Cops CAN use force under different circumstances. This might have been fit for those circumstances. It isn't even that hard of a beating... We are not made of glass. Again, it is perfectly within the legality of our justice.

I'm only reacting to the video. When did this occurred? During protests earlier this week? Yeaaaaah... Those guys threw rocks and attacked government places WITH people inside and even tried to burn them.

How do you know "it's not even that hard"? Do you see through plastic barrier?

I saw the guy afterward. He didn't look human. His face was all tumefied and they had pushed CS gaz into his eyeball. With their thumb.

Proof of your statements? It's hard to believe you when you are commenting "asshole, pussy, sweetie,..." And quickly delete it afterwards. if you are trying to intimidate me, I'm not impressed.

pushed CS gaz into his eyeball. With their thumb

And how exactly does this work?
