Farking cover-up. What a bunch of pieces of shiat.

I demand each one of those officers be put on paid administrative leave for a minimum of one year.

Need to teach these thugs a lesson.

Burning these cops to death would be letting them off easy.

I salute the courageous, unselfish officers who risked their lives armed with nothing more than batons, tasers, handuns, body armor and the unlimited power of the state to bring that dangerous terrorist to heel. My god, just imagine what would have happened if he were allowed to go about his business that day...

"Do not Move!!! ..... put your hands up!!!"
/ok, which is it?

THAT'S GOOD POLICE WORK RIGHT THERE !

Have a tiny penis? Compensate by becoming a huge dick. Become a cop today.

/just sayin'

What? They didn't taser him as well? You guys are slipping!

/farkin' pigs

The officers had no way of knowing that they were dealing with anything other than an unruly person. The only guy who acted inappropriately is the officer who kicked the guy in the head.

little known fact, officers in Nevada have medicated shoe tips for emergency situations just like this...

Guys, you have this completely wrong. It's totally cool, these kind of cops are very rare and should not be used to judge police as a whole.

Paula Dean unavailable for comment.

What a bunch of retards.

Years ago I saw a traffic stop turn into a fracas when a man went into a seizure and started flailing around. The officer interpreted it as resisting arrest and did the bare minimum to subdue him. After EMS arrived and his condition was noted by the paramedics the officer immediately contacted his supervisor, removed himself from the scene and turned himself in for discipline. He even went to the hospital and apologized for what happened. There was no cover up and no one lied to save face.

That's how you own up to a mistake as a law enforcement officer.

No kidding. They committed assault and they should all be in jail.

That guy is lucky he didn't get shot. Not because he deserved it, but because it seems like thats how these things go sometimes.

9beers: The only guy who acted inappropriately is the officer who kicked the guy in the head.

... and the officer who helped cover it up and explained that no one would know who the kicker was, and the supervisor who refused to name the officers involved, and the DA who declined to prosecute the officer or his co-conspirators...

So this happened in late October, 2010, and it's just being reported, by the Daily Fail, now?

That's some brilliant investigative journalism there, Lou.

No. That first officer who braced himself, with weapon drawn, on the door and then proceeded to keep his pistol aimed at the victim while another officer moved into his field of fire also acted inappropriately. The five other idiots who then dog piled a non-compliant suspect in what can only be described as an excessive use of force also deserve discipline. That was in no way a professional take down.

IrateShadow: Guys, you have this completely wrong. It's totally cool, these kind of cops are very rare and should not be used to judge police as a whole.

Can we judge police as a-holes instead?

What do they train those freaking lunatics? Anything? You pull your gun on everyone that you pull over for weaving a bit on the road?!? That shiat makes my blood boil.

/Thugs with badges.
//The people need to riot over this shiat.

Which one of these cops was the "one bad apple"?

I don't know how many they were gonna need

But i knew how many they were gonna use

As a Diabetic I am not shocked by the officers thinking the person is resisting. They obviously should know better though. Also should be trained how to handle that type of situation. You do not try to subdue a Diabetic in shock. That just will never end well. We tend to get very confused and can turn quiet unruly because we are confused and have no idea of what is going on.

/as a diabetic he should not have been driving.
//knows when blood sugar is low and stops and takes something to raise it.
///waits until bs is better to resume driving.

Insulin?

Farking drug addicts.

Imagine, if you would, the 'jock cliche' that you ran into in High School.

Now imagine, if you would, that after High School these jocks have no where to go... so they go into policing, in order to live out their fantasy of bullying people the rest of their lives.

However... All cops pretty much start out as 'that guy' that wants to do good. THEN they see what the public is actually like and give up on humanity pretty much. Which results in what happened above... They just don't care about people as a whole anymore. The guy walking across the street in the wrong place is just as idiotic/dangerous as the man they busted up last week for selling crack.

It's the way policing works now :(

Police are the movie theater ushers of the real world. Imagine if you gave movie theater ushers the power to slap someone upside the head and get away with it. They'd abuse the shiat out of it too.

RadicalArcher: So this happened in late October, 2010, and it's just being reported, by the Daily Fail, now?

That's some brilliant investigative journalism there, Lou.

"The Las Vegas Sun reported that the settlement of $158,000 was OK'd by the Henderson City Council last night, and an additional $30,000 amount will be paid by the state of Nevada."

$158,000?

Pity he's not black.

He'd have gotten ten times that much.

Inquisitive Inquisitor: The five other idiots who then dog piled a non-compliant suspect in what can only be described as an excessive use of force also deserve discipline.

Oh that's right, one suspect, one officer. I forgot the rules.

Because the case was just settled.

How many dogs and cats does each have?

....and this is where not only the dash-cam video comes in, but also pissed off local bloggers and newshounds with cell phone cameras. Taking "film" out of a camera, or hell even a micro card, won't save their ass when SEND is pressed and it's all over the internet before the cops have time to finish the beat down.

Hey hey hey, now. Hey. Let's all calm down here. They HAD to kick that semi-conscious man in the head half a dozen times. Don't you see? It was for OFFICER SAFETY! They just want to go home safe after their shift. As long as it's for officer safety. Because no one else deserves safety as much as an officer does! In fact, I think they should all be able to work from home. Better yet, let's build special locked vaults inside bunkers for them to work from just to keep them as safe as is humanly possible at all times! We don't want any of them to get a boo-boo from those violently dangerous unconscious diabetics!

I'm surprised the dash cam footage still exists. I ordered my own dash cam the other day, mostly in case I can catch some good youtube footage, but also just in case a situation like this arises and the cops "lose" the video that would save my ass in court.

Farking cover-up. What a bunch of pieces of shiat.

And this is why I keep telling you guys to kill cops. Seriously. go to their houses and burn them down. Do it.

/lol, slept with a cop's daughter AGAIN last night

Oh that's right, one suspect, one officer. I forgot the rules.

One suspect, three officers. One each for the legs, arms and head. If three "highly trained and competent" police officers are unable to subdue one man in diabetic shock then the police agency has failed in maintaining proper training standards and should be sanctioned for allowing drooling retards to remain on the force.

Gee why no love for the pigs.

They are only there to protect and serve.

Oh God, they're time is better spent licking dog poop off their shoe and writing an essay on the taste

so let me get this straight...the cops beat the everliving shiat out of this guy...and forget to get rid of the footage? They didnt even plant any crack on the guy or give one of the cops a black eye to play the "Assaulting an Officer" charge? That's some sloppy work there, Lou...

but in all seriousness, this is disgusting... i mean in his disoriented and almost comatose diabetic state, he was srsly resisting so hard that it took 7 cops beating his ass to subdue? they teach the head stomp maneuver at the academy?

I watched the video, the headline is sensationalist in nature.


The LV PD clearly could use a brush up on understand different types of conditions that the citizens could have, this was misdiagnosed as intoxication so you cannot be too vigilant in getting someone in a moving vehicle off the road, kudos for LEO's on that call.

The force used was somewhat heavy handed however, given the context I think things could have been a lot worse. Cops are going to back each other up just like you guys do for your fellow burger flipper and AOL call centre biatch, no need to pretend like your really upset about something you are guilty of too.

Amos Quito: $158,000?

If he was black he prob wouldn't have lived through the beating to collect.
