Christ, that cop should be shot.

Spare the rod and spoil the child...

She probably reminded the deputy of a girl who wouldn't go to junior prom with him. Looks like it was a cathartic experience, why isn't anyone giving him props for working out his unresolved aggression? Oh wait, he IS on a PAID leave of absence... nice little vacation to unwind from all that stress.

This cop will hopefully get what's coming to him. While 15 year olds can be little bastards, it's HIS JOB to be in control of himself because he's dealing with people who are not.

Paid administrative leave though? I wish I could assault people at work and get paid to stay at home while they sort it out.

*terrible *news

The cop won't see a day of jailtime. This isn't "criminal" because it was in the line of duty. Anyone else assaults a minor like that, you can be sure they'd be behind bars.

Adding video to channels (News, Terrible) - requested by Trancecoach.

Im surprised no one has applauded the officer for his restraint in not using his tazer or sidearm. I think he did an excellent job of handling the situation.

Oh wait, today isn't opposite day!

That cops has some serious anger issues, and should be kicked from the force and sent to jail. I doubt either one will happen.

yay for America, the fastest growing police state in the world!

Atleast this video is getting a lot of air time on the news. Maybe people will start to wake up.

Not gonna be a popular viewpoint, but I reckon she probably got what was coming to her.

People forget that cops are only human, and trying to do a job. Cue little shits who were never disciplined at home pushing them too far.

We saw her kick shoes at the cops, and take up a "You can't touch me" pose. Wanna bet she was being mouthy as hell too? Thinking she was untouchable and could use the cop as a punchingbag to talk shit at, and vent her frustration at outrageously being arrested for breaking the law.

But yeah, FUCKDAPOLICE, OMG POLICE STATE! etc etc. One cop losing his temper =/= the whole goddamn force. Get real.

That's just fucking sickening, literally, I feel physically ill.

So your justification for him LITERALLY BEATING A LITTLE GIRL SENSELESSLY TO THE POINT OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS, is justified by her SWEARING AT THEM, AND KICKING HER SHOES AT THEM? Do you still beat your children when they dis obey? Do you understand that HE IS BIGGER THEN SHE IS? It would have been very easy for him to subdue her without harming here, in fact he is trained to just that, or do the practical thing, CLOSE THE FUCKING CELL DOOR!

You tried to make up for the disgusting things you said by saying, 'i know im not going with the popular view point but...', but that just wont cut it this time. There is nothing you can say that will justify violence from a dominate figure, especially since the officer, was much more violent then the girl could even have dreamed of being herself.

'get real', you say, we are real, and we see in our reality, police officers beating up young girls.

Just wanted to point out that the initial footage is edited. Video pauses at timecode 04:38:24 for a few seconds. Didn't realize it at first until they showed the other angle. His reaction is immediate.

No, I would not beat my kids. Yes I think people with a "fuck da police!" frigging dumbshit attitude need a smack upside the head.

And my "not a popular viewpoint" bit wasn't an excuse, I was just calling it.

Oh good thing you got me on the capital letters there. Now you can denounce everything I say. Are you sure you didn't catch any spelling mistakes?

You are a disgusting human being. I hope YOUR not a cop too.

PS: If I meet you, I will shove your face into a wall, then throw you to the ground, then beat on your face a little, then lift you up by your hair and drag you out of the room. Sounds justified, after all you made fun of me on the internet, that's almost as bad as kicking your shoes at someone!

Uh-huh. I stand justified. If the people who side with the kid typically sound like Mister Internet Tough Guy/Youtube Commenter over here, then I picked the right side.

EDIT: No, stop posting at me. I have argued on the internet enough for one week already in this thread.

and you don't? Dude we are both fucking losers, were sitting on our computers on video sift right now because we have nothing better to do. There is nothing in this world that makes you better than anyone else here, tough guy.

Besides, I thought you shouldn't pick sides based upon one persons actions? Or is that only true in the case of police officers?

Did you guys see the other video? Or notice how this one skips at 0:38 from them taking her to the floor, to them picking her up by the hair? It was explained by the TV anchor that it showed about 20 seconds of them "restraining" her, but...

http://www.videosift.com/video/Cops-Beat-Cute-Girl-Senseless

This is way beyond just being overly rough in the process of restraining her after assaulting him. In that video, that looks like a pretty deliberate decision to hurt her while she was down.

And I guess just to clarify, in that video he's punching her in the head while she's down. Yikes.

Its a 180lb GROWN MAN against a 80lb GIRL for fuck sake.
Are you for real ?

There is no justification at all for a guy hitting a girl, let alone this fucked up situation.
Cop should of just shut the door, there was ZERO reason to do that, even if it was a 25 yr old dude doing that, it would still be way too far.

Fling your shoe at a cop, get your face smashed into a wall, pulled to the floor by your hair, and knocked out.

Fucked up.

You see this is what you get in my house when you spill paint in the garage.

i posted it a long time before the other. i switched the video from the un-edited video to the news report to give it some context. then posted the raw cctv in the first post because little bits (like the officer wailing on her head on the ground) were cut from the story.

No, this has a news piece providing additional context and paramedic footage to boot.

And while it's ok to argue that *teens that instigate with cops are being idiots, that's as far as you can tak things.

A normal response would have been to handcuff her so she can't dish out any more violence and record whatever else she says for the court record.

Administrating a savage beating is barbaric and evil.

Defending savage beatings is the mark of a troll.

I had great fun essentially doing some light trolling on the nascar fanboys via twitter tonight so yes, I know what great fun it is to tweak people's noses, but at least I had a the most noble of causes (calling out Fox on delaying Simpsons with poor scheduling).

Endorsing violence against women in any way is beyond stupid.

Adding video to channels (Teens) - requested by Krupo.

Paul Schene was investigated previously for shooting two people _ killing one _ in the line of duty in 2002 and 2006. Both times his actions were found to be justified, said Ian Goodhew, prosecutor's deputy chief of staff.

I just like how the viewers are shown a video of Mr.Schene assaulting the girl and are later told that he denies the assault charges.

In other news: air doesn't actually exist. More at 11.

No excuse.

And I'm terribly sry but "only human" is fucking bullsht and you know it. Ever been booked doing 2 km's over the speed limit? Ever had a raid go through your house at 4am in the middle of winter because an "anonymous tip"/cranky neighbour said there was marijuana dealing going on there? (note: there wasn't but we were treated like shit, not allowed to get a drink or use the bathroom for the 2 hours they tore our house to pieces).

Yeah, they have a tough job and I'm sure somedays really suck, but when you are a custodian of the law you are held to a higher fucking standard, not a lesser one...

Lock him up in gen pop, let's see what a tough guy he is when it's not 15 year old girls having a go at him...

Don't you fucking dare try and dismiss me as a troll. If she has ever been taught respect for people in authority she wouldn't have needed this kind of reality check.

I'm sure the obscene amount of compensation she receives will help her to recover from the "massive emotional distress" she will claim she has been put through. Christ.

Drama makes the world go round.

EDIT: And "Cops being held to a higher standard". Yeah, right. Because they are all paragons of justice who aren't just there to enforce the law and pick up a paycheck for doing a job. Go on expecting robotic perfection from them though. Whatever floats your boat.

^ JohnnyMackers gently caresses police testicles as he tells them how good of a job they are doing collecting a paycheck.

How about you try and come up with a decent response instead of calling me a homosexual, hmmm?

Or is that the best you can do?

Hahaha, and you downvoted my comment too. You probably don't even know why, it just "Sounded bad" right?

is it hot in here?

well, did the girl deserve a reality check beat down? Maybe. Is the cop a fuckstain? Most certainly, yes. In any event, that pig is a piece of shit undeserving of the Badge.

However, I think it would be in Lordoderus' best interest to actually discover the definition of Police State.

Well excuse the shit out of us for expecting people who are armed with lethal weapons and professionally trained to inflict massive amounts of damage with hand to hand combat, to have a little more restraint than Joe Shlub on the street.

I showed this video to my friend and my neighbor, both cops with 20+ years between them. They're response? They both said there's nothing that girl could have said to warrant the officers reaction. Police are trained to ignore all verbal attacks, threaten them physically it's your ass, but nothing you say should provoke them.

And you're right one psycho asshole cop doesn't make them all bad. When they get paid leave, and at worse lose their job for what would put ordinary people in prison, all the while their department backs them up and often defends their actions regardless of how obviously out of line and illegal they are, that makes them more bad than good.

Just once I'd like to see one of these videos where after the cop assaults a civilian and gets them restrained, for his partner to turn around and cuff the son-of-a-bitch, and them to immediately fire his ass and try him for 2nd degree battery. After seeing that a few times, we all might start seeing cops in a more positive light. Heck we might start assuming cops are there to protect and serve, not oppress and abuse.

I accept that, but PRESUMING they do is liable to get your ass handed to you as we've seen in this clip. This is what I was trying to get at with my "only human" bit. Everyone snaps, even those in positions of authority. The popular term is "Going postal".

To think otherwise is borderline delusional, and just wishful thinking.

And of course the cop should pay for his actions. I'm not saying otherwise.


And in case anyone was wondering: Apparently the reason she was there in the first place was because she stole a car.

I'd love to see what this guy's defense is. Maybe there was a good reason for what he did, but I certainly can't think of what it might be. That's why we have courts though, so we don't have to judge situations from news clips.

Paid leave is normal though. Police get into physical confrontations all the time (often with good cause) and it would be terrible for them to lose pay every time someone filed a complaint against them.

If he slammed her around for nothing but verbal harassment then hopefully he gets a proper punishment.

You're right, that was actually just really poor wording on my part. I didn't mean that we live in a police state, more that our rights and liberties are slowly being evaded and circumvented by the police. I should have worded that better, but I was somewhat distracted by rage and the taste of bile in my mouth.

understandable. I find it infinitely obnoxious when "POLICE STATE!!" is shouted at these types of videos. Throughout history, where ever there is authority, it is abused. The rampant abuse we've seen from cops in recent years is cause for alarm and something should be done about it. But so long as our infinite checks and balances are intact I think it's safe to say that we are in no danger of becoming anything remotely resembling a police state.

I'm with ya though, horseshit like this needs to be stamped out.

this tape is actually shown played in reverse. the girl is a badass.

In my opinion:

Does the girl deserve a whoop ass (ideally from her parents)? Not sure, but given her attitude, probably yes.

Does she deserve a kick in the stomach, face smashed against the wall, kissing the concrete floor, double sucker punch and anti-gravity hair pull? Mmmmm... No.

Excuse me, but in a civilized society with the rule of law a person being in a holding cell (with or without legal justification - as far as we know she hadn't been pronounced guilty of the felony) has nothing, absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with how they could be (mis-)treated. If anything, their rights might be more limited, but they are supposed to be protected with a lot less flexibility; i.e. there are strict, clearly detailed guidelines for all officers of the law to follow with regard to how suspects are to be held.

Your quote and other comments above indicate you believe that this assault is somehow more justified than if somebody not under suspicion was the victim. And that, my friend, that framework of thinking is just wrong, pure and simple.

The quoting system is an arse to try and work with so


To mouthbreathers like Maze and Throbbin: Stop trying.

To others: No, in my opinion YOU are wrong. And your views based in fantasy.
Desirable as it might seem, that is not the world we live in.

No, their views are based on the Law not fantasy. Our government and society have set up a set or rules and regulations on how the police are allowed to treat people. Police officers are not allowed to beat the crap out of a person for no reason. Actually, they're not allowed to beat the snot out of people at all. Yes, they're authorized to use physical force, pain compliance, and even deadly force to restrain a prisoner or to save a life. In this case the term "excessive force" is a completely accurate description of the events. The officers probably had just cause to handcuff and restrain the girl, she did kick her shoe at them. They did not have justification to pummel her in the face, slam her on the ground, hit her a few more times while shes prone, then lift her off the ground by her hair.

That is not the view of some liberal fantasy world, that is the law. Now if you think that the laws are allowed to be ignored because "the real world is a hard place" or whatever, then I fear our society has gone past its prime. Everyone has to be held accountable to the law. Cops, Judges, Hookers, Drug dealers, and innocent people are all the same under the law. As a country and as a people, we have been ignoring the abuse by the police for far too long now. This needs to stop for the good of everyone in the country.

What's sad is Ex-President Bush handled someone throwing a shoe at him with much more dignity.

I'm not entirely sure the point you are trying to make with your argument.

Sure, it's possible that if you provoke a police officer then he or she may over react, or go postal. But just because that's what might happen, doesn't mean it shouldn't outrage the community.

Think about the argument you are trying to make with respect to law and civil society.

...and if I'm keeping you awake with my mouthbreathing, just give me a gentle caress on the thigh to wake me up. I don't mind sleeping on the couch.

I dunno if anyones already said this cause now there are just so many comments but the only thing that makes me feel really ill about this video other than the obvious attack is the King's County Sheriff's Dept. Sgt. John Urquhart's response. I know due to legal reasons he probably is supposed to keep his mouth shut.. but for f*cks sake... man up and have a farkin opinion. Like basically sayin, "the court ordered us to release this video" is gonna give that department any more credibility. Sick stuff.. and he should just admit it.

A lot of good discussion of this issue exists on the raw, uninterpreted closed circuit footage of this unfortunate event. See it, and all those comments here: http://www.videosift.com/video/Cops-Beat-Cute-Girl-Senseless?noredirect

Here is the full version of the video, with audio and way more brutal as he punches her in the head 3 times while she is on the ground, and i didn't here anything about pigs.

Pardon me. What's obscene is the fact that Schene has been on paid administrative leave since December, and will continue to be so at least until the Sheriff's Office internal investigation is completed. The internal investigation is expected to be completed before his trial in King County Superior Court, due to begin Sept 9. This guy gets paid for sitting on his ass for 10 months after the assault. Now that is obscene. That and george11's comment.
