Goal was no good. Cop has been charged.

http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/miami-police-union-says-head-kicking-cop-showed-restraint-10332957

Hours after Miami Police Officer Mario Figueroa was charged with misdemeanor assault today after film surfaced of the cop trying to kick a handcuffed man in the head, the city's police union released a doozy of a statement defending Figueroa and insisting he hadn't broken the law or department policy.

According to the police union, Figueroa's attempted face-punting was, in fact, a "de-escalation technique" that proved Figueroa "showed great restraint." You read that right.

Field goal, given the placement of his head.

De-escalating having a man already handcuffed and on the floor?
Was he about to shoot a ki blast from his mouth, and the kick stopped it?

There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

See. The problem isn't that every single cop is a murderer or whatever. It's that every single bad cop is defended by their union and/or department no matter what.

100% agree. The attitude of "we protect our own" is what severely hampers people's perception of the police, and for good reason. It's absolutely disgusting.

I can appreciate the fact cops deal with a lot of shit day in and day out.

But at the end of the day they signed up for that and this kind of behavior is completely unacceptable.

The suspect, regardless of how much of a piece of shit he probably was, was subdued and that kick was completely unjustified in that video.

*slow clap*

This is exactly right. The vast majority of cops do their job. I have s few friends and relatives in law enforcement. But the fact the shitty ones are ALWAYS backed by the department is a problem.

Don't polarize yourself on the issue. That doesn't help anything.

We been saying for a while now that the whole fucking system is broken and needs to be rebuilt. Or rather, that it's working perfectly to fuck over the populace and needs to be rebuilt.

Slager says that the PBA was cooperative shortly following the shooting, even assigning him a lawyer, only to drop him days later after cell phone footage of the fatal shooting emerged. Slager says he was unfairly dropped without a proper investigation.

He deserves to be charged with felony assault. That's exactly what a friend got when he kicked a guy in the head he was fighting after he was already down

Exception to the norm.
