Homeless Man Beaten/Killed by PD *UPDATE*

[ray1970]

I don't mean to put down the fine men and women of the law enforcement community as I realize their jobs often put them in harms way and they are seldom praised for any of the positive things they do, but....

Why is it that things like this seems to me more and more of a common occurrence these days? I mean, I would think the police would be better trained to deal with subduing unarmed individuals without having to use stun guns, tasers, batons, or other weapons. Especially when there are multiple officers trying to control an un-armed individual. It has become too common to see stories about several officers beating the shit out of one unarmed guy, or woman, or even a twelve year old with a stick.

WTF is wrong with people nowadays? (And I mean on both sides- those resisting the authority of law enforcement and those in law enforcement who over-react to a non-lethal confrontation)

I blame the overly complicated directions to put on a condom.

The Army vet got it right when he was speaking in the first video linked. He stated that when he was in Iraq that if he or any of his Soldiers had done this to an unarmed insurgent that they would have been court-martialed and sent to Ft. Leavenworth. That is exactly right. Why do we hold our Soldiers to higher standards in combat zones than these police officers are being held to?

At least the citizens are protesting in a peaceful manner and not out looting and destroying property.
