I have many stories of when I was attempting to help and assist someone when they went psycho on me. No need to detail what happened and what the out come was.
The majority of these guys (running from the police or committing crimes) that get the beat down from the cops have records and histories of criminal offenses that looks like a roll of toilet paper. They know better but yet they have made a decision to indulge in criminal activity. They made a choice. Once again, I don't condone excessive beatings by the police, but it is not rocket science nor is it an entirely new concept that you will get your a$$ beat by the police when you run or commit crime. It's a simple as that.

you know that's all fine and dandy for the loonies out there but what about everyone else? part of your job description is to apprehend alleged law breakers and arrest them, not beat the sense out of them once you got 'em. if you can't emotionally handle a suspect fleeing from you then you shouldn't be a cop. i mean i once actually had a cop pissed off 'cause he had to write me a ticket! imagine what would have happened if i had compounded my infraction by not stopping when i saw his lights!
it does not take 6 cops kicking a suspect when he is down on the ground, to put a pair of handcuffs on. miss me with the dumb stuff!
