1. So I guess we should assume that 'Stop Resisting' is code for 'DIE'.

Stop resisting the urge to keep your heart beating? Stop resisting torture? Stop resisting unconsciousness? Stop resisting the pain?

Stop resisting and die.

Lots of murderous thugs out there...seems some of the worst wear a badge and gun.

2. He has been fired

The other police officer was disciplined. He should have been fired as well for not doing his job.

revolting

7. Good they fired him. He's not just a violent bully . . .

but a dumb, violent bully. His partner warned him twice that his own body camera was recording his actions.

Police departments all over the country need to get rid of these bullies that are to dumb to change their violent behavior in the face of the new reality in policing — cameras, both cell and body cameras recording everywhere now.

8. He should have been charged with assult and battery also.

If it was unauthorized force, he should get the same thing a normal citizen should get.

11. He pled guilty to a misdemeanor

and got probation. It should have been a felony with jail time.

3. I feel like crying

We keep seeing this over and over again and there are still people who say what this cop did was not wrong. I see it everyday on Facebook posts. They blame the media for bringing this to everyone's attention.

Another reason why this makes me cry - I've seen this before. My husband was arrested for DUI many years ago. I was able to see the video of him after the arrest. He was pleading with the officers to please take him to the hospital he couldn't breathe. They laughed at him and made him stay on the floor for an hour or 2. He was in a car accident with minimal damage to our car. He had 2 broken ribs, a punctured lung and lacerated liver. None of that could have been caused by the accident. To this day I still believe they beat him up. My husband doesn't remember anything. I just know what I saw on the video.

Look - are all cops bad?? No. But the good cops need to stand up against these bad cops. It's time for the cops to do what they are paid to do - serve and protect. That means everyone.

5. Time for personal responsibility for cops.

Let them personally pay damages.

6. Made it about 30 seconds before I had to turn it off.

Made me sick.

9. Looks like policing in the US is well on it's way to becoming a pathological process.

I have to say I can't really understand what goes through their minds.

10. On its way? It has been there for some time, really. nt
