I'd like for them to be replaced with full psycho pass bots.

Read enough of these threads to know American police are some of the most power tripped nutters and murderous you can get.

She obviously shouldn't have spit on him but holy fucking over reactions Batman. As a police officer you should have thicker skin than to be so upset by that that you beat the living shit out of a woman, in front of her child is even worse. Cops need a better mental evaluation procedure instead of letting people like this dude and other abusive cops into the force. Sickening.
Yo, is this cop trying to suffocate her (with his knee on her back) after her punches her out and calls her both a bitch and a cunt?
When she complains that she can't breath her tells her to shut her hole.
And the way this dude spits out "bitch" and "cunt" you can tell he's a hateful shit.
This fucking asshole wanted her to suffocate to death in front of her daughter.

More good cops than there are bad!
I assume that the majority of cops just want to get a career with benefits, a salary and some stability, but you'd have to be an idiot to think the authority, badge, gun etc, doesn't attract power tripping morons.
There are literally HUNDREDS of videos of cops losing their shit because they feel "disrespected." I'd say that's even more common in some ways (although directly connected) than racism.

This is bs the cops beat this woman and then tried to cover it up for two years by withholding the video. Heads need to roll over this shit it was a legitimate cover up by the salt lake city police department.

I remember watching Robocop as a kid and thinking how ridiculous ED-209 was. He wasn't a police bot, he was a murder bot. Now there's not much of a difference.

Horrible. The change in tambre was so shocking to me.
I literally had better training as a bouncer:
1. Talk the situation down.
2. Talk the situation down.
3. Talk the situation down.
4. Move problem people away from each other.
5. Engage calmly at all times, even when forcibly removing someone from premises.
We were taught (literally just by sensible old dudes) that you don't get personal even in fights, because it escalates the problem and amplifies the emotion. Further, if you do it calmly and impersonally then the chances of return visits from bad guys drops dramatically. Somebody spits at you? Are you injured? No. You are working. It is not personal. Remove them from the premises.
locked in 2 minutes...is that a record?
Can you imagine if she was black and she spat on the officer, we would not be talking about a punch. She at least did several things wrong here, first the abusive behavior to the neighbors (apparently repeated) and second spitting on an officer. The sucker punch was a pathetic move and officers obviously abuse their authority all over the country but I could see somebody catching a baton or taser for doing something like that. I certainly would not dare.

Damn
Why all these police videos all of a sudden?
Digital video cameras became cheap and widespread.
Damn
Why all these police videos all of a sudden?
Police have generally always behaved like this. That hasn't changed. Just the footage of it has changed.

Don't worry, the cop is retired now.
Damn
Why all these police videos all of a sudden?
This is how it's always been. We just have video evidence now.
Honestly, do you think the stories of the past two days would have even been news if there wasn't video evidence to immediately refute the usual police depiction of events?
Nothing's changed except now we no longer have to blindly take cops at their word.

Of course the Officer who beat the women did not care since he knew their would be no consequences for his actions since the Salt Lakes City Police department actively tried to cover this up.
One of those good ones people like to talk about.

I bet if someone started a random thread and asked "How would you respond if someone spit on you", there would be a lot of Gaffers who would say they would kick that person's ass. While police definitely should be held to a higher standard, it's not surprising to me that this shit happens when violent responses to minor insults are deemed acceptable (and even appropriate) by so many.
I bet if I started a thread saying "You are deemed guardian of society and given a weapon and training. One of your fellow americans who your job it is to serve, in a fit of immature rage, spits on you. Whats your response?" it would be different.
Not that a thread on neogaf means shit anyways
LOLwut
No it's not generally considered acceptable to beat someone for spitting on you, especially if you are in a position of power and held to a higher standard (and police should be held to a higher standard for obvious reasons).
When you make a post like this, are you forgetting that Police go through training, and that they aren't just your average moron with a badge and a gun? Also, do you notice that a post like this is equating police to your average untrained gaffer? Do you see that it is probably part of the problem?
Police are held to a higher standard, there is no 'should.' Because they are sworn officers of the law.
I think this post highlights the problem and why nothing can be done about police. People like yourself are willing to ignore the fact that police are trained to deal with problems and not react in the heat of the moment, or with emotions. One day, they are our trained officers, there to protect us. The next, ah well, just some average good ole boys like me. I'd probably do the same thing. But yep. This thinking is the reason why those on the sidelines of the issue couldn't give a shit if you handed them a barrel of it. Police are just normal dudes with guns apparently. Why that doesn't strike you as an immediate problem, well.
The police always say it's horrifying whenever people post these videos. But these are like 0.1% of the incidents. The vast majority of the time, the incidents are being reported by people, and then, since there's no proof, at most, it gets marked down as an incident # and shoved away in storage.
Any complaints of misconduct by officers needs to be thoroughly investigated. The vast majority of the time, there will be no criminal investigation, but there is no reason why administrative discipline should be out of the question. People with multiple allegations of misconduct against them need to have that factored into their performance reviews.
Being a police officer is a lot safer compared to any manual labor, transportation, industrial, or electric position. An officer should have to explain to his superiors any incident which involves the removal of a weapon from its holster. A firearm is a tool meant to be used only when the officer or someone else is facing an imminent threat to their life. Making a sudden movement is not a threat. Resisting arrest is not a threat. Having an outstanding warrant, driving a stolen vehicle, or driving with expired tabs is not a threat.
