Seattle police stomping on video

[trainsktg]

All the more reason to conceal carry.

...and what, shoot a cop because he talks harshly to you while stepping on your hand? Good luck trying to convince the grand jury you were in fear of your life.

A real shame. Sort of makes me embarassed to be a human being. You don't see animals doing things like this out of meaness.

Well...ever watch a cat play with a bird? Or this...?

Nope. But what if it had gone further? What could have kept that officer from dragging you into an alley and beating you with a stick?

Generally, at the time of incident, the cop can do what ever it wants. And after the fact, they only need one partner with the same story.

Agreed. I've been wondering the same thing regarding these botched SWAT drug raids into wrong addresses resulting in the death of family pets and homeowners. "Oops, sorry, wrong house." If a few officers were taken out by an innocent homeowner with a 12 g., I'm sure there would be plenty of 'evidence' found to justify the raid.

...fortunately, these yahoos are going to prison.

It's not out of racial meaness.

OK, I'll give you that. Still, if you haven't seen it yet, watch the chimp video...its pretty easy (and honestly, a bit disturbing) to see some of them in us.

I am glad that there was someone that got it on tape. The police watch us, but who watches them? I think that the police need to keep in mind that they are accountable to the public.

With everybody having phone camera's these days, it's a lot harder to get away with this.

Of course, the police can always arrest you for filming them as well.

Brian D. Kelly didn't think he was doing anything illegal when he used his videocamera to record a Carlisle police officer during a traffic stop. Making movies is one of his hobbies, he said, and the stop was just another interesting event to film.

Now he's worried about going to prison or being burdened with a criminal record.

Kelly, 18, of Carlisle, was arrested on a felony wiretapping charge, with a penalty of up to 7 years in state prison.

FIRE EVERY COP THAT WAS PRESENT! FIRE THE STOMPER FOR HIS HOT HEADEDNESS AND FIRE EVERYONE ELSE FOR NOT CONTROLLING HIM! There is no need for this BULL CRAP!

Charge the stomper with assault...I am usually pretty much pro law enforcement but...really was that necessary at all.

Absolutely!

"to serve and protect"... who of the bystanding officers was protecting that kid from an out of control, tyrannical cop?! They, not acting, were just as well supporting him.

 

[Bark]

yep, every cop that stood there and did nothing should be fired.

 

[jimwsea]

Here comes another law suit. How much money does the SPD - er, the people of Seattle - have?

This is pretty disturbing as well:

Pretty mean too!

Let's see. If "we" rob a bank and all I do is stand by as a lookout, I still go to prison, right? All of those officers were part of the "job" as standby and lookout and backup.

I say whatever one gets they should all get.

No. that's far too logical!

 

[Seafarinman]

Heard on the news that the victims in this case are off duty US Army personnel. That really upset me a lot being in the military myself.

 

[Redcap]

Bad apples in the SPD. They need to be ousted before they spoil the barrel

There are a disproportionately large number of 'bad apples' in the Seattle PD.

 

[gallogiro]

Wow, I cannot tell you how deeply this upsets me.

Many of the comments here are correct though. They will get sent home on PAID leave while the "investigation" happens. Enough time time to look for a job in another precinct. Probably no charges filed against the officers I am sure. And yes, with the increase of cell phone camera's there will probably be more of these videos to surface.

I know being an officer is a very difficult job, I couldn't do it. However, these are the type of people who should not be allowed to serve.
