They already know who the arresting officer was.
Prolly a security guard with LMS. unacceptable
There is video footage of it. Not sure what happened. But the guy in the picture suffered a tissue damage to the eye, the eye socket is cracked, etc etc... concussion. He was not given medical attention while in police custody. 4 hours. After he posted bail.... friends took him to the hospital
Btw... he sings gospel music
high school educated (at best) Billy bad ass cop. no reason to physically beat his ass unless he was being violent. this is why people hate cops.Quote:

The officers doing the beating are full time police for the city of New Albany. They are hired by the university for security on ballgame weekends....CHA-CHING
OPD is a ****ing joke, just look at the way they troll the ole miss fans on twitter.
Watched the video. Completely unacceptable. Hope he sues them for all they're worth.
I am not pro-police violence, but there is a lesson here. If that ever happens to you, just go with the police. Resisting never works out well for those doing it and if the officers were in the wrong, you can always file a complaint later. Once a cop tells you that they're detaining you and they physically grab you, there's no talking your way out of it.
I agree, at least 3 punches thrown that appear to be completely unprovoked. Who knows what happened off camera as well.Quote:

I agree to an extent but don't know the circumstances that stared this to begin with. if the officer has no more self control than that he doesn't belong on any forceQuote:

The first question that pops into my mind is, if this person was innocent of any wrongdoing, why did the people around him not interject on his behalf and inform the cops that the person they were looking for was a few rows up as the wife says?
From what I could see it looked like at least one guy was trying to talk on the guys behalf..and I'm no lip reader but looked like the police were telling him to shut up or he would be going to.Quote:

This guy's wife is saying ol? miss fans 2 rows above told the police the guy did something. Whatever that was... somebody was getting removed peacefully or not!
The thing I am not in agreement with (only because I don't know the situation leading up to it nor can we see what is happening... was he trying to get something out of his pocket. Etc) is the lack of medical attention he got while in jail for 4 hours!
The people around him, according to the guys own wife, turned him in. Ol? miss fans...Quote:

Because people are afraid they'll receive the same abuse with no justice. I know I am.Quote:

Like Chris Rocks says..."If a cop has to come after you, he's bringing an ass whooping with him."
Oh... so now police can not defend themselves?Quote:

And to me it appears the other cops looked a little stunned that he hit the dude and one appears to grab the cop.
When you mix a cop on a power trip and what looks to be an intoxicated fan that is resisting - it's never good.
I was told that he spit in the cops face at one point. Also in the video you can see the guy grabbing a cop 2 different times. As a cop I believe the cop was justified if he spit on him. You never know what someone has, and yes if someone spits on you. You can use force on him. Second if someone grabs you. You better knock their d*ck in the dirt. Also with the thing about him not getting medical treatment. He was asked for medical but refused
I dunno bout you fellers... but had I been (the fan) in that situation, I might have gotten a good talkin' to... I may have even been escorted outta the stadium.... There's even an outside chance I may have spent the afternoon/eve in the pokey...
but I do know this, there would not be a picture of me with stitches over my eye and a busted eye socket goin' viral on the 'net....
You and I clearly have different definitions of defending oneself. Cops do need to protect themselves. That was beyond protecting of oneself. It didn't matter what happened before.Quote:

Now there were scuffles when an officer was trying to effect an arrest at which time that subject refused to comply with the officers command. Procedure is to be polite and ask them to go with you, maybe it was jail or maybe it was just to leave the premises. If subject refuses, you politely place your hand on subjects shoulder and try to lead him out of there. At that time if he pulls or jerks away he has officially resisted arrest. Use what ever force is necessary to make the arrest while keeping in mind the safety of the officer and those innocent individuals around the scene. I retired after 30 years in LE and I am so glad that I'm not having to witness what's going on now with all this hate being perpetrated by our potus.Quote:

He would also likely be facing bogus criminal charges (unless he actually committed a crime) and not be one the receiving end of a nice settlement from an upcoming lawsuit. I know you are trying to say that you aren't dismissinf the cops behavior. But you are. If you aren't doing anything wrong, you shouldn't be arrested and humiliated. Under no circumstances was that officer justified in the way he actedQuote:
