@ChrisM_18 Apparently a police investigation agrees that this officer went to far.I am forced to accept that.However,I think you are making a huge mistake by try to deny the police the right to use reasonable force.I sense,ChrisM_18,that you have no use for authority of any kind.But in the absence of any discipline from the courts,I take no issue with this officer or the actions he took.IN SPITE of what the internal investigation decided.If we cannot jail and re-hab some of these low lifes.it's only a matter of time before the police will not have to beat the crap out of them.The general public will beso PO's,that they wil do the job themselves.Honestly,if I was cought shop lifting,I would be to ashamed to complain about a police officer that treated me roughly.
I stand with the officer.Give him back his job.Fire the judges who refuse to do theirs,and most of these problems go away.
