Arizona riot cop knocks out innocent woman

[Deleted]

What's the saying... "Can't do the time, don't do the crime"? In this case, it would seem it's more like "can't take the body slams from cops on steroids, don't be an innocent person trying to get to your car near what isn't even a real riot."

An epidemic of systematic abuse of power.

o.O

The transcription for that video is hilarious. "Lolol drums happening"

And yeah that seems a little uh...to much :P

I don't even know why that happened. Maybe we missed something before the video started? only excuse I can think of, though I don't really believe that :P

Disobeying dispersal orders = knock the fuck out? Pretty sure there's fine and things for that.

Standard thug cop being a thug cop and being protected by his badged gang. He won't be punished.

Wow, she really didn't see that coming. Pretty petty move by the cop.

That was really weird... Then again, it is hard to say what was going on at all, beside the knockout. Maybe he reacted because she came from behind the cop-line?

I thought the same, but it looks like people are freely moving behind them.

The biggest reason shit like this still continues happen, and will continue to happen - and it may happen to you or your loved one, is because people are willing to give these violent criminals hiding behind a badge the benefit of the doubt, instead of holding them accountable without prejudice.

Or, you know, because people are rioting over a fucking game.

I'm guessing this happened because she was behind the cop line. Only an idiot (one who deserves some knocking out) would walk behind a riot cop line.

Anyone is weak when they are attacked from behind, and that is the riot lines weakness. I'm sure this guys job title was to watch the lines back and neutralize any people who come close. All of the cops are looking in 1 direction with noise all around them, none of them would see the attack coming.

So that makes the person an idiot for being behind it?

People who think like you are the single greatest reason this planet is such a shit place to live on. I'm just thankful I've been born into an actually civilized part of the world.

Anyways. The situation was contained. There was no active riot. The cop could have been like "Hey fuck you, stay behind the line." Instead He decided to go rogue and do it from behind.
In Canada, if he pepper sprayed her...he might have gotten away with it.

But for something like that, a cop would get crucified.

I support the cops. I love the cops. I love that I can call on them if I feel threatened by a situation. But bad policing shouldn't be swept under the rug. It should be exposed, and beaten out with a duster.

ME!? I'M THE REASON THIS PLANET IS A SHIT PLACE!?
The only fucking reason the cops are there is because of the rioters. Over a fucking COLLEGE basketball game.


Because I think cops are in danger 99% of their job, I'm the problem? Not the murderers, rapists, thieves, lying politicians, rioters, etc....?

The only reason cops exist are because of these people, and I'm the reason? Fuck you.

THERE WAS NO FUCKING RIOT

Oh my god. There's people assembling. Let's knock some women out.

I did not say he was standing his ground. And you act like he shot her in the face.

I also did not necessarily justify what he did. All I did was give the reason why I think he did it, and why he could have felt like his friends and co-workers were in danger.

Really... Is that the actual reason?

Conspiracy theory much?

Then post a damn source, because the only one I see says it was a riot.

[Waaldo]

No I was being sincere, I have no idea why theres riots on.

Oh, I read that wrong. My bad, sorry >.<

According to the video source, yes, that is the reason.

[Gheld]

If people are staying behind the riot line, not smashing anything, and nothing is on fire. It's not a fucking riot.

The world would be a better place without your kind.
