Police Brutality in St. Paul - Cop kicks man in neck

"Police Brutality in St. Paul: Black man on ground after being maced, heaving and trying not to vomit. Cop suddenly kicks him, cuffs him, pulls him up by his hair, slams him into police car, and arrests him"

Appartently he was wanted for several (weak) charges, excluding threat of violence, of course. http://www.startribune.com/local/167902675.html?refer=y>> ^Velocity5:
Didn't they hear him say he didn't do anything? I don't understand the case file they were working from that made them arrest him.



The article says he was wanted for felony charges, so it can't be too weak. It's probably best to avoid the various conditions that led to those felony charges, and it's bad form and illegal to threaten a romantic partner with injury or murder.

The "distracting blow" (the kick) used by the officer to enforce compliance with his order that the suspect place his hands behind his back seems possibly unnecessary. But the suspect was known to have resisted arrest a few months ago, so officers are probably more wary in such cases.

Distracting blows are standard procedure, so the best advice for peacefully managing an encounter with law enforcement continues to be: comply with orders and take up complaints after the fact. Choose as you will.

I'm sorry, but I don't give a fuck what he's wanted for. If you think he's dangerous, bring fucking backup.

Also, that wasn't a distracting blow. It could have been called that, had the officer actually attempted to handcuff the man, instead of smiling at the fucking camera.

What you said is not true. The officer indeed handcuffs the offender after delivering pain compliance (force used to gain control of non-compliant suspects).

It's petty to downvote comments that come from a different perspective from your own.

Also, if you can't express yourself without swearing, this is probably an emotional rather than intellectual discussion.

@Velocity5

Oooh... aren't you my intellectual superior now?

I know what pain compliance is. I've had plenty of training in it. What you see is not pain compliance. The officer kicks the man at 1:15 and doesn't even attempt to handcuff him until 1:24. He kicked him, bent over and presumably said something about "are you going to let me hand cuff you now?".

@MarineGunrock

Well, the officer used pain to gain compliance.

He then handcuffed the offender calmly instead of using sudden moves. The last thing you want to do is start a struggle in which you'll be outweighed by 100 lbs. And getting stabbed by a hidden weapon is annoying.

The officer values his life more than we value his life (approximately zero), so he'll act accordingly.


I think we agree that this video could never happen to a smart person. But we disagree on how much people who insist on non-smartness should be able to inconvenience society.
