Filed under: Caught on Tape, You Fools!
Cops Ram SuspectHere you will see a police cruiser chasing a suspect, who is running down the middle of the road. They proceed to plow into the guy at a high rate of speed, pitching him into into some grass next to the road. And though don't hear it here, the driver, Lance Cpl. Steven C. Garren,
was apparently caught on another tape saying "Yeah, I hit him. I was trying to hit him," to another trooper.

91. You know cops argue that this is standard procedure, that we don't know what the guy did wrong or how dangerous he was. Well I know people in the criminal justice field and they test out their weapons, they get sprayed with pepper spray, shot at, tazered etc....and last time I checked there was no STANDARD of procedure for hitting someone with your car. It doesn't matter HOW slow your going....the weight of that vehicle is not compromisable to the weight of a person, aka basic physics. If a vehicle is set in neutral and runs over your foot with no speed it has the possibility of breaking that foot due to the weight alone....so for you who are defending these people....is just rediculous. Cops make mistakes, they make bad choices, there ARE BAD cops who have an ego problem and are just generally bad people. And anytime light of this enters the media I LOVE how they're always protrayed as being "right" or having an "excuse" for being bad people making bad choices. There are GOOD cops and I know plenty of them....but even they have half a brain to know the difference between an out of control criminal and a 14 year boy skating in the park. The truth is we are getting to a day and age where cops no longer protect us but are hurting us whether be physically, emotionally, sexually, or mentally. They have a bad day and power at hand and they are going to use it. Is the job hard? Yes. Is it stressful? Yes. Is it hard to turn that adrenline rush off? Yes. But you know what its easier to punch someone in the face than it is to deal with your emotions rationally, and if your a police officer THAT IS YOUR JOB, to act in a RATIONAL manner. If you CANT do that...then you shouldn't be working as a police officer. Allegations are not far fetched, if the criminal justice field wants to renew the publics belief in the good of police officers they need to modify their units and re-evaluate the people serving their force. Because when it comes down to it, cops are human....they're not different than any of us and its time everyone addressed that instead of treating them like theyre infallible.

92. this nothing new to the black community. If a person of color questions a cop in south carolina they could be beat down or sprayed.I witness this.then when ems came they stood around for about 10 minutes socializing with the cops who sprayed the guy,observing and commenting on his distress.cops killed a women,shot her baby, ran down people with there cars.what was common in all these crimes?the people who where victims were black and the perpertrators were given promotions and paid leave so they could recover from their distress.
