They aren’t always all bad… that’s all I got to say about that…

Sadly those in power tend to abuse their power. As our control slides into more of a police state (homeland security being the hot buzz word) we will see more of these types of acts.

I think police officers who commit these types of idiocy forget that their motto is Serve and Protect. Or at least the ones around here have it on their car. Who are they serving and who are they protecting?

Being a police officer tends to attract certain psychological profiles. Some of them function very well. Some of them degenerate and lead to these types of abuses and worse.

Following the crowd has always been around. Look at the troops that supported Hitler. It was easier to go along that cause a problem. This is why we have the 2nd Amendment. The government needs an armed populace to keep its power limited.

Well, maybe that’s because they want mindless thugs they can condition to do their bidding. Those in power want a police state, and need it, in order to maintain their power. In most professions of this nature, someone who exhibits true intelligence and self thinking will be weeded out rather quickly. Quite frankly, free thinkers aren’t god for business when it comes to “law enforcements”

this makes me sick and i bet you the pigs that did this to this poor boy will get away with it. these cops should be prosecuted and put in jail like the criminals that they are. america is turning into one big police state. the american people really need to wake up and take some drastic actions fast before it is to late.

The officer(s) responsible should most definitely be fired immediately and never be allowed to use firearms or tasers again for the rest of their lives. In addition to that, they should also have to pay that family a large sum of money.

I strongly believe that police officers who abuse their power, especially in these disgusting cases of tasing that we are constantly reading about, should be executed. No trial, no second chance, just executed. It is sad that in most of these cases nothing much if anything at all is done to the offending officers. At the very least they should be not only fired but jailed for life. I still say execute them after the 1st offense, police brutality of this nature should NOT be accepted in any civil society.

FrankenPC, unfortunately I don’t think mental stability is the problem, just pure simple stupidity.

Have you seen the tests you have to do to get in to the police? Seriously, it’s easier to become a police officer than a supervisor in McDonalds.

I’m not going to place ALL cops in one category. I refuse. But, I will say this…police officers SHOULD be psychologically re-evaluated every 12-24 months. They under go heavy psych evaluation to join the force, then…nothing. It’s assumed they will stay sane for the rest of their lives and evidence shows that is not the case.

Think about it…the entire police force would be more at ease knowing each officer on the street was mentally stable.

OMG, that is so nauseating. I can’t even believe it!

And yeah, what Dawg said:

What is scarier, is these people who can’t figure this out also have guns that fire lethal bullets.

I read this story elsewhere, but it still amazes me that these are police officers who seemingly cannot put two and two together in figuring out they were sent on a call about a walker on the bridge, they found a boy under the bridge supine, and can’t deduce that he probably fell and is injured. There seems to be a serious lack of intelligence there.
