I'll bet cops in London tonight are shivering and shrivelling. Make fun of "sheeple" all you want, but when pushed too far, a sleeping giant is awoke.
The guy getting beat repeatedly says things like "Yes" "Okay" "Yeah" "I am" when he is being told to get on the ground.
Now when you pay close attention to the timings of "Get on the ground!" and the swings of her baton you can clearly see the female officer is already in the process of swinging the weapon at the suspect before issuing the order, then to top it all off, the female officer allows the suspect about .003 nanoseconds to comply with the order before the baton is once again striking her target. These strikes are repeated over and over again, along with the order to get to the ground.
No one can be beaten like that and refuse the natural reaction to go fetal, flee or fight back, I believe they call this flight or fight. Its not hard to imagine the suspect decided flight was in his best interest as even when he was on the ground telling the female officer "Okay, stop!" he was still being beat relentlessly.
Its also hard to deny that police love to give suspects about 0.5 seconds to comply before they are justified using excessive force.
If those hands aren't behind your back fast enough all the officer needs to say to you is, "Stop resisting arrest." in order to justify his beating your teeth down your throat with his baton. To get himself off the hook for his vicious beating of you he only has to write, "resisted arrest" in his report.
Personally I'm sick of hearing their excuses in court, I'm sick of reading the excuses on ATS, I'm quite frankly just sick and tired of the whole dog and pony show we call "The System".

Its not about what he did before the camera started rolling. It's about whats right and whats wrong. Everybody wants to say "maybe he deserved it" but what if he didn't? Now that we are on that topic WHO deserves it?
If he was accused of something heinous but was actually innocent would he still "deserve" it? This is a slippery slope that leads straight to hell. You play on the edge all you want, i'll stay far from it

The guys attacking another officer on the ground, actively fighting. So, yup, she's justified in this case.
What if he's innocent of a crime?
He's not, he's attacking that officer. Jeeze, people on here will attack anything cops do, won't they?
