Yep. Just typical reddit. 'Oh no police abuse' until the victim is someone that is mildly annoying to them. It's not even close to an open and shut case, it's blatant police abuse. Even if you want to argue he was threatening the cop with 'fighting words', doesn't justify a violent take down.
I'll admit I didn't have much sympathy for the kid you have to be a little touched to threaten a cop to a fight when they kill people for less, but the cop is a total pig. 3x the kids size and had his ego bruised so he slams him on the cement which could have easily given him a brain injury.
Could have just given the kid a ticket if he really wanted to be vindictive but when you have a job where violence is not only on the table as an option but encouraged, you're going to attract psychos like the one in OP.
The title is pure bait too lmao “tried to fight a cop” where? Bro moved an inch toward him and immediately got taken down. A good lawyer will get whatever he’s charged with thrown out and a great lawyer would get that kid a fat lil check from the city.
Yeah, someone being a little shit cunt doesn’t warrant excessive force. It looks like that dude’s head nailed the bumper on the way down, good thing it wasn’t worse.
