    This thread is yet another stellar example of misguided people that have zero concept of police protocols.
    Why does your argument seem to be based on the assumption that only one person can be in the wrong? Why do you seem to think that if one person is wrong the other is excused?

    Again, the US is the only first world country where the police gets to engage in excessive force, and the citizens think it's fine.

    Everywhere else, the police are well-trained enough to not have to resort to such undisciplined and willful violence to suppress their targets.

    They need proper training so things like this can be avoided. Police brutality is happening to all races, not just blacks. It's not a bunch of racist cops. It's a bunch of poorly trained cops, that are given leadership positions. That's a recipe for disaster.
    Their entire system needs to be changed. They need to reevaluate how they hire people and as you said redo their entire training and that would just be the start. With that said I think our definition of "A lot" varies, to me a lot would be every third or fourth cop I run into. If there was 1,000,000 police officers I would say 100,000 are potentially problematic and of that 100,000 I would say 5000 actually cause problems. Again that is just shitty examples but my point is that they do not have a LOT of bad cops. It also doesn't help that unlike a lot of other countries that the US is happy having a bunch of guns everywhere, that has to be taken into account when training.

    Then stop trying to enlighten us on your obvious lack of expertise. Pretty sure they tried that, and he, ya know....resisted that? Kinda where the phrase RESISTING ARREST comes from?

    A novel concept, the English language. Words actually have definitions.
    There is a way to do it... American police just aren't taught properly..

    If someone said this with colors reversed he would have been infracted.

    How to avoid getting kicked/beaten by cops as a criminal thug (black AND white):

    1. don't resist arrest
    2. stop biting officers
    3. stop hurting yourself
    4. don't do drugs

    Easy.

    It's his own fault, I would kick him too if he bites someone lol. A bite is a serious thing.. you never know what diseases he carrys.. you can easily die.. infections are bad.

    Do you say this for any other job? A random internet poster shouldn't have the same capacity to stop a criminal as a police officer. If you think a cop and a random internet poster had the same training and tools, then the issue here should be blatantly obvious.

    Most US citizens are utterly brainwashed into thinking their police force is a shining exemplar of the developed world.

    As the textbook negative example, that is actually not that far off from the truth.

    American mentality: "If we can't do it no one can" "If we do it this way, there's no better way of doing it"

    Well, it must be difficult, but do try to imagine and comprehend that in every other first world nation, police officers are more likely to sustain injuries during training than in actual situations. Against resisting targets. Armed resisting targets. Without needing to resort to excessive force and whipping guns out for every small altercation.

    You might wonder why, it's because they are actually trained and held to a nominal standard rather than the specimens who are not much more civilized than raging baboons you call "police officers" in the US.

    But being one of the many frogs-in-the-well which can't acknowledge the world out there has many documented examples of policing properly, you are probably just going to handwave it as usual because it's embarrassing to acknowledge your own ignorance. National pride is more important than acknowledging and correcting grievous mistakes for your kind after all.

    I think the same applies to the USA, as they're training with fellow police officers that think it's a clever idea to use their actual firearms in such hand-to-hand training exercises and aren't smart enough to unload them first.

    The key difference is that the white people in this thread aren't being told "shut up stop being offended get over it."

    Lol once again the MMOCHAMPION off topic shows their totally not racist views with executes if why something happened. Cause you know it's not like a cop would lie to justify the beatings, or hell even plant so,etching on him.
    But whatever black+crime+cops with (supposed) no camera= brutal but somehow justified beating. If you can honestly watch that whole three minute video and still say it's just then honestly something is wrong with you.

    Im not some drama guy, but its clear that cultures, races and the likes causes problems - And that the USA police forces cant handle that. Im pretty sure you can go years witout using even your service gun in most european countries. Atleast in Denmark.

    You start off by saying "yes officer" when he tells you to get to the ground and not bite him.

    You can't be that much of a man if you unquestioningly obey authority.

    It's about knowing where to fight your battles. You can run right at a wall to get it to move or you can through the right channels and have it removed with a bulldozer. When the cop's in front of you be a passive little bitch. Then when you're in court take him to task for any misdeeds he/she committed.

    Black suspect, check. White cops, check. Excessive force? Over 9000.

    I can't help but feel like he disobeyed orders before that happened....

    That being said I feel they definitely went overboard and bringing 600 cops to deal with that guy was kinda laughable.
