Mesa police department getting ready to pay out.

in #life6 years ago

This story broke from my home state yesterday, and was all over yahoo. I personally don't know what I would do in this situation. The man was already searched, and there were like 8 cops. They could probably have wrestled him down, and went with out someone punching him in the face.

This has been the second incident from them in a year, and the last was when they shoot and killed a un armed white guy, who was already crawling on the ground and listening to commands. This has nothing to do with race, the main officer in the video beating was Black. This has to do with a complete inept police department. Trust me I have plenty of cop friends, and their jobs are tough, but there are a ton of bad apples with attitudes and now you just give them the authority to abuse people. I usually don't comment on this stuff, because most time you don't see the whole story, but this time you actually do. Lets say I will not be spending any time in the mesa area. I also get that these guys put up with a lot, and you can have a bad day, but if this is the way you lash out you probably should not be a cop.

Sort:  

Seeing the video, I got more disappointed about the police force especially shooting the unarmed man on the floor. Same police harassment is ongoing in my country. I even wrote about police harassment some days ago

I do understand that they put up with a ton of crap, they do deal with the scum of society, and that is a very difficult job. But there is also the expectation of control.

Yes, they are being expected to be disciplined and moderate in their dealing while carrying out their duties.

You can imagine, after being punched. What warrant them to blindfold him? They are becoming more of a dictator in the society. We have just few good cops

I think the blind fold was their make shift attempt at trying to give medical attention or hid the injury.

But they never knew there was a camera there, if they knew they would have destroyed all evidence

Wow, that is some scary stuff. I'm not sure the screening process and requirement to become a cop but it certainly needs to be more in-depth in terms of emotional state and ability to handle the stress and situation. There should NEVER be a moment when a police officer has to beat someone into submission. This is a sad exhibition.

I don't know if it was the screening process, or the lack of supervision on the whole squad, there literally was another incident yesterday. I understand if they are being combative, but when they are hand cuffed, and you are still hitting them? The Chief did resign, but the new one has to clean house.

These are really sad situations. True, the job of an officer is not the easiest and sometimes, you could have a bad day at work. However, killing and woulding innocent people is not the proper way to dispose rage. I believe officiers are given trainings to cope with the mental demands of the job. If they can use all the skills they acquired - including a small dose of human feeling- there would be better policing in the state.

ya that is true. My brother is a firefighter, and he has became more cold just for the fact he can not be emotional every time someone dies on a call. That would be the toughest part of the job, always being around death.

This is terrible, well it's hurting me but the officers there had no business beating up a person who could've been handled quite well. according to laws a person who is unarmed, whether he's a criminal or not doesn't deserve such man handling, it's a breach of human right, and to have such on video is really terrible, this is bad.
That the job isn't easy doesn't mean an armless person should be at the end of a bad day..

This is terrible, these guys should be brought to book, well you shouldn't be spending time, I know a story always has two sides but this is out of the situation
