No one knows what happened between the warrant be served and to where video is. Who knows what he might have done to the officers themselves before it got to this point. You must have a learning disability.
Why being so hateful? She is just giving her option here.  |

Location: East Tennessee but who knows?! | If these were such upstanding cops that were worried about public safety, as soon as the perp was handcuffed they would have made sure the horse was restrained and caught so that it didn't run off and get in the road & cause an accident. There were 8+ cops there and no one grabbed the horse until the end.
As far as there being just a "few" bad apples..... the news reports state that 11 cops took part in beating this guy. The video backs that up. That's an awful lot of "bad apples" in a department, which says to me it's not rogue cops that's the problem, it's the CULTURE within the department that's the problem. I'm sure it's an unwritten rule.
No, the justice system doesn't always work like it should - I have a been a victim of that - but you can't leave it up to a few arbitrary individuals to decide what justice is. If you do, then again we are no better than Mexico or the other counties I've mentioned.That's the same mentality that ISIS operates with.... and yet there's folks on here who seem to be accepting it. |

Here is my other questions.
1. How did he get the horse? She he shove the rider off?
2. How would you feel if it was your horse he stole? And injured?
He car jacked the horse from what our news said. Took from a rider who was on a trail ride. |

Location: Northeast Nebraska | Whiteboy - 2015-04-10 11:49 AM If I fell off my horse, I'm pretty sure none of them would just stand there. lol The guy deserved it. If you dont want an ass whoopin, dont steal **** and try to run away. If his mother had done more of it when he was young he would have learned his lesson then.
In the old days he would have been strung up from the nearest tree.  |

| I live in southern California where this took place. It is all over our news. The news just reported that the suspect threatened a female officer and then stole the horse after fleeing by car. They interviewed his girlfriend who commented how difficult it was to watch her boyfriend be so brutally beaten.  |

You can believe I would **** stomp anyone that intentionally harmed one of our horses, but thats not the job of LAW ENFORCEMENT officials. |

Well if that ever happen to me where someone pulls or knocked me off my horse and haul's booty on him and hurts my baby it sure would not be pretty for that person when I caught up with them. I agree the guy is a total puke, but the cops should not have giving that puke such a beating, maybe good kick in the a**, but if I was the owner of the horse he would have gotton more then a kick from me.  |

Location: Texas | I will say 99% of the time I side with police officers, not only because my father has been in law enforcement for over 25 years and is now a Texas Ranger, but because this country needs some dang discipline.
You are breaking the law, if:
- You run from a police officer
- If you strike or attempt harm on a police officer
- Steal; take something that does NOT belong to you
What is so hard to understand about that?!
Then we have people defending criminals.... And people wonder why we have to lock our doors at night, lock all our trucks/trailers at barrel races and carry guns on us.... |

You repeatedly kick someone in the sack that is handcuffed.
Lie on official police reports. |

| Is it really that difficult for people to follow instructions THE FIRST TIME! When a cops says STOP. Just F**KING stop. The guy already stole a car, kept running, stole horse and then finally got caught when he fell off his horse. He is also clearly fighting the cops and trying to get up when they finally got him caught! Did he have any weapons on him? Was he reaching for them to wound the officers and try and get away? Not to mention what kind of drugs the guy was probably on. Had he followed the first set of instructions it wouldn't have happened.
Everyone wants to argue and say "Well I was just doing this, not what you thought I was, blah, blah blah". I have a lot of friends that are cops and being on edge naturally goes with the job. When you ask someone to put their hands up and they go to reach in their pockets are you going to wait in see if they pull out a cell phone or a gun?!?!?! No, your gonna shoot the a-hole that can't seem to understand a simple instruction of "STOP, put your hands up!". Don't take that time to talk back to the guys with the guns or reach for whatever b*lls*it item that is in your pockets you want to show the cops. Sorry, I jst don't have a lot of sympathy for a lot of these idiots that shut down freeways, lead cops on these crazy chases endangering innocent bystanders and then want sympathy when they get their a** beat. STOP THE FIRST TIME, LISTEN TO INSTRUCTIONS AND IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN! JMO.
One of my favorite quotes of all time:"You know how it works Jake, you ride with an outlaw, you die with an outlaw. I'm sorry you crossed the line."
