Anybody notice the cops beating the crap out of our students!!

[supervol01]

From what I saw, one of the kids wasn't resisting. He had his hands up, and the one cop was pushing him down the steps to the bottom. After that he knocked the kid to the ground and handcuffed him, just making a show out of it. It was not necessary, and it pissed me off and pissed off a bunch of other students as well. I heard the kid mouthed off to the cop, but that was not needed.

That sounds about right. Kid mouths off in front of countless other kids. Cops pride is hurt and now he's gonna show that little punk...Cop takes it to far and depending on the kids background and family, cop loses badge. Hahaha

So it's ok for the kid to have no respect for anyone because of his family ties, epic fail

The Ktown cops are out of control. They are bullies to students and fans. I was told by a nephew that he and some of his friends were busted after they walked out of a bar on the strip after a football game. My self and several friends watched after the next home game (I'm to old to hang on the strip anymore so don't) and witnessed it first hand. People leaving establishments and being knocked to the ground and cuffed and dragged off. We saw several treated like that and saw none of them do anything other than answer what the cop asked. I checked the paper on Sunday and there were something like 40 public intox arrests. It's beyond out of control.

Cops should not touch a citizen unless needed. A kid mouthing off after a huge win like that at a college sporting event is not cause to shove a kid to the ground. I hold cops to higher standards than the average citizen.

Not what I was saying at all. LOL
We get it Jax, your probably a cop. What I was saying is depending on the kids family, they MAY file suit against the uniformed man.

Unless a gun was drawn or life threatening, no way. I can speak from experience watching 18 year olds in lock up, 5-1,15-1, ratios sometimes, so no, you have overly aggressive people violating peoples rights.Remember years ago when the cops shot a mental patient displaying a knife and instead of rushing her like they are taught to do in mental wards(with pillows,etc), they shot her dead.PITIFUL.

Just watch cops guys. Although there are more instances on the show where I would say some sort of physical force is needed, there are still numerous times they are WAAAY to aggressive. I've seen them tase people that are LAYING ON THE GROUND?!?! WTF?

Good guess, . My bad on the misunderstanding. I do get mad when people disrespect the "piggies paws", I liked that one. I do understand where people get mad at the piggise, some are buttholes, I have a few here. I show everyone I deal with respect until they deserve otherwise. One thing I learned on this job is theres 3 sides to a story, thiers, yours, and the truth. If the cop is wrong then he should get in trouble, but don't judge all from this.

Campus Fuzz or KPD Gestapo?

that is true...however if the officer gave a command and the student refused then he should have been put on the ground and cuffed that is called resisting. fact is none of us know what the circumstances were behind the incident. many people need a lesson in learning the respect for authority.

Yeah, they were probably cheering and jumping out of their seats. Can't have any of that foolishness at a UT sporting event.

1. Jax- No worries, yes there are definate times that force is needed and I support the use in these times. And Yes, not all cops misuse their badge in this manor. Unfortunately for every time a cop doesn't when he shouldn't, there are 2 cops doing so when they shouldnt. And for every cop that won't, there's 2 who will.
2.Bubba? No way (all likelyhood) that kid did ANYTHING to warrant that.Short of him trying to run off(like literally running) or trying to attack the cop or someone else. If he wanted to continue the conversation or if the officer deemed it necc to arrest him for the possible remarks, then you walk the kid into the hallway. The fact that the cop did it in front of everyone is proof enough for me that his pride was hurt and he was set to make a point. Tossing objective law enforcement out the window at that point. "He's goin down hard and he's goin to JAIL, Little punk thinks he can mouth off to me?!?!"
