Cop stepped in front of him. Smart cop. Whether or not you are giving a ticket...you shouldn't TRY to put yourself in harms way.

I'm fine with that. Dude comes out like he's just going to drive off. Total little punk. The officer told him to not move the car and the guy did anyway. He clearly was positioning himself I. Front of the car to deter the guy from moving without completely standing in front of it. Idiots

[GrantH]

Little punk or not, the cop put himself in front of the car. I'm sure we can agree that you can't see anything in that area while inside the car, let alone in a 458 or any super car. The cop literally wedged his foot under the tire before the guy even moved.

Is the guy wrong for trying to leave? You bet.
Is the cop wrong for shoving his foot under the car? You bet.
Did the guy deserve to get beat because they were both idiots? Not unless your NYPD.

Yes he was wrong for not obeying what the police officer instructed him to do.

Was the officer "wrong" for trying to show the guy that he intended for him not to move, I'm not sure. It is obvious that the officer put his foot under the vehicle. That however is not a crime nor is it wrong. If the guy would have complied with what the officer told him to do he would only have a ticket. You have to listen and obey a police officer people. its not rocket science.

Once the guy tried to leave and hit the officer with the vehicle it was no different than hitting him with your fist. It was assalt on a police officer.

I guess we see police different lol. I personally don't care who you are, if you shove your foot under someones tire, that's grounds for calling you an idiot and probably grounds for getting it run over lol.

I'm pretty sure we do see police differently. It should be noted that this wasn't some random person trying to stop some dude from leaving by shoving his foot under the tire. You can not care who people are and thats fine, but when that person has the full authority to tell you stop and you don't comply then you get to call them an idiot in the back of a cruiser on the way to jail.

Nothing personal, I just don't understand the hate toward police. Are there bad apples, you bet there are. Take the officer that yanked the girl out of the car here in HSV. He was way out of line for doing that. How he got his job back is a political power play by Richard Showers!

Owell - life goes on

It is all about authority. The cop had authority to detain the driver while giving him the ticket. By the letter of the law the driver was also resisting arrest. If he were driving a 1980 Ford LTD no one would care what happened. The driver was made an example of and rightfully so. In my opinion the cop should have moved to the front of the car rather than simply moving closer, but I wasn't there and it is easy to say "what I would have done" when we are not there.
Police are normal people too. There are good ones and there are, well those that shouldn't be police. just like in every other walk of life.

I'm glad my friend Damian got this on tape.

I completely agree. I wouldn't have stood to the side, but homeslice got what was coming. It's finally high time that the DB's of society get their just deserts. A real man would have swallowed his ticket and carried on. Instead he now is liable for 5 years MINIMUM in prison.

He wasn't just getting a parking ticket mind you. He didn't have a front plate, no inspection sticker, and the vehicle was regged in New York. He was also parked in a "no standing" zone.

I mean I hate police brutality, but a lot of this crap is justified. These little snots can think they can get away with murder, but then they cross the wrong guy.

Our society is turning into a pandering one where we shake fingers and raise voices rather than spank or properly punish our children for their misbehavior. I'm only 22 but I remember being spanked at the slightest even thought of misbehaving (my parents however claimed I was such a good child however... ) and I turned out just fine without the need for counseling and CPS to get involved. Now I do not condone child abuse, which is an entirely different monster. That being said, I think if this boy had respect for authority like had been taught to me at such an early age, I highly doubt this event would have escalated to such a point. (Now don't assume I think that the police are "above me" and that I don't believe in holding police accountable for their actions. They are supposed to uphold the law, and in that capacity they have the right to do their job. However they cannot affect my own rights as a citizen.)

Now please note that I do not condone police brutality, but I do think that in this case it was justified. He asked the person to exit the vehicle and he insistently refused. Mess with the bull and you get the horns. That's all I have to say.

"OH BUT HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING PEOPLE NOT THROWING THEM AROUND!" - This typical response kinda ticks me off because in the criminal mind they have 2 thoughts running through their head: 1, They can't touch me because I can sue them and win. 2, I'm going to get away with a slap on the wrist. These thoughts are partially what is degenerating our society. Rather encouraging criminal behavior rather than rectifying it. Now if a criminal expects a butt kicking when he commits a crime, that in itself is a deterrent. However there is always a thin line which can be crossed between excessive and lawful use of force, and I entirely believe that the force executed in this video was entirely lawful and required.

With that being said we are all entitled to our opinions. And I respect everyone's right to an opinion and to disagree with me.
