WOW 2 years later and finally this idiot is brought to justice - the video clearly shows he assaulted the bicyclist but the cop was only convicted of falsifying a statement.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/30/nyregion/30pogan.html

A former police officer was convicted on Thursday of lying about a confrontation with a bicyclist who was participating in a Critical Mass bike rally in Times Square in 2008 — a collision that was videotaped and became a viral presence on the Internet.

At his trial, Mr. Pogan testified that Mr. Long initiated the confrontation because he did not comply with an order to stop, and then appeared to prepare to “use the force of the bicycle” against him.

Here's the video - yup, he goes out of his way to hit the bicyclist (with intent to injure?)

I'm sure there is a civil suit on top of this, he deserves the EX before cop

check out this story

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A former Milwaukee County sergeant was sentenced Friday to 18 months in prison for punching a suspect in the face several times as the man sat in the back of a squad car with his hands cuffed behind his back.

Prosecutors played a video recording of the incident during sentencing in Milwaukee County Circuit Court that showed Sgt. Scott Krause hitting Ray Calderon, who was repeatedly tapping and kicking the back window with his foot, cursing law enforcement and asking to use the bathroom.

If he is suffering from PTSD he should have been reassigned duties.

I should be asking you that considering you defend criminal cops (the same type of people who try to squash freedom seeking individuals across the world)

Why do you hate people who think for themselves and can see through the bullshit rather than buying into the notion that all law enforcement agents are pure?

These individuals violated their oath to serve and protect, they have forfeited any and all respect their position may deserve.

if the cops can be criminals without any recourse than where will that lead us?

you like bullies because you are one

poorly selected individuals or poor training or lack of regularly scheduled psychological assessments

That shouldn't matter. If you are a police officer, no matter if you see the worst of humanity, as most do, you are suppose to keep your cool and represent law, order, and justice which is what America is suppose to be about.

You misunderstand the question, as did kaiser.
I was more wondering where all of kaiser's anger comes from.

Was he abused as a child by a cop?
Was there a knight stick incident?
Some authority figure obviously hurt him somewhere along life's path.

Always remember kaiser, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

Thanks for the psychoanalysis but sad to say you're wrong again. I am a veteran of the United States Military and expect everyone who takes an oath to defend the Constitution and the citizenry of this country to uphold that oath. If not they deserve the punishment they know damn well will come to them for losing their clarity of mission, professionalism, and humanity.

It is these individuals who make the soldiers and LEOs look poorly in the eye of the public, lose trust, and quite possibly compromise their mission. These cases are public knowledge and should be shared to keep people aware that crimes are committed be authority (and there are times they go unpunished) and transparency alive, isn't that something you bitch about? Transparency of government?

These police crimes take away the authoritative nature of law enforcement and reinforce the damaging and illegal sensibility of AUTHORITARIANISM. There is a difference - like being someone who serves and protects and someone who is a Nazi.

How many times do I have to explain this to you?

Actually I knew you were directing it towards me - but I didn't feel like dealing with your trolling as of late so I continued to contribute to the discussion and give my best guess as to why cops snap.

so how's your bridge troll?

why the ad-hominem attack?

kaiser soze

and around we go

if you are asking this concerning you

you project quite a bit rob - using your little "ad-hominem" game after telling multiple people they "suck at life" etc. and to be blunt with you rob - you are the king ad-hominem attacker around here. I called you a troll because it is true - you contributed squat to this thread, to droppin science's thread, equating taxes to rape with chewy - very little content coming out of your head as of late

if you are asking this concerning the police

They are the ones wearing the badge, if you don't want to see an SS on their lapels you keep an eye on them. It is unfortunate that they cannot keep their cool, they are only human - but humans who volunteered for great responsibility - we have to hold them accountable for their actions as well - because silence is acceptance.

I give what I get.
Very little content worthy of me responding with any serious effort.

Also, there's this thing called life that prevents me from posting sometimes.

Pitbull killed, corgi injured, yes a Corgi was shot.

This for a grinder, a bowl and a small amount of weed?

I guarantee these cops know people (friends, family, even fellow cops) who have more than that in their possession.

Sometimes you gotta wonder, do they enjoy terrorizing people?

Video shows Seattle police abusing innocent and non-resisting detainee

http://www.kirotv.com/video/23482801/index.html

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-aCVrG-M_0&feature=player_embedded#at=55

So if they treat the innocent like this, what about the guilty?

don't blame me for this - I didn't beat the guy, videotape the abuse, nor report it - I'm just sharing it.

Why would people defend this behavior? If we don't want this country to become NAZI Germany we need to call out, weed out, and convict those in uniform who do not CONFORM to the laws, rules and regulations they swear to uphold.

supporting police brutality is supporting facism

Fake ass alligator tear-filled apology from this NAZI wannabe and follow up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrHbNN27ccU

He is only sorry that he got CAUGHT

Keep the exposure - they revoke their duty when pulling shit like this, they dissolve public trust of law enforcement and endanger their fellow officers
