[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family full of law enforcement analyze these every time they hit the news.

Is he resisting, absolutely.

Why TF is a cop throwing somebody to the ground in the 1st place. They can't legally detain somebody unless they are arresting them, so why did this person even end up on the ground. The cop did not follow his training, that is what happens in these cases.

You can't make a mistake then blame the citizen. [/quote]

We're still waiting for body cam and police dash cam videos to come out. All we have is a piece of the girlfriend's video. No idea how they ended up on the ground. Could definitely have been the cop being an untrained asshole. My understanding is that the cop was trying to separate the witnesses. I think he could legally use some amount of force to, for example, get the guy to step away from a witness in order to allow the officer to interview her. Even if he wasn't planning on arresting the guy. [/quote]

If there's one thing I've learned over the past few years, it's that the police spokesman is lying 99% of the time when they give their first statements [/quote]

One thing people don’t understand is the 1st “police report” is just interviews with “witnesses” which is full of lies.

A police investigation has facts and evidence… police report not.

Most news sources use police reports which is a terrible practice.[/quote]

I don't think we've actually seen a police report yet. We've got reporter quotes of a police spokesperson who may have seen a police report. So, that combines the best elements of an ass-covering bureaucracy with a game of telephone. On the other side, we've got edited video and the self-serving account of the guy who tangled with the police and presumably doesn't want his probation revoked. So, in my opinion, all of the current sources of information are potentially unreliable. [/quote]

That’s why most people will not comment during an ongoing investigation. A police report is meaningless. All information is biased until there’s physical evidence. Even firsthand account of a good person who thinks they saw something is unreliable[/quote]

The spokesman 100% gives the police version of event without any equivocation. I'd love to see them open to defamation and liable suits if qualified immunity is ever lifted [/quote]
