Some questionable behaviour BBC NEWS | World | Americas | LA officer 'kicks suspect in head' Quote:
A police car chase through a suburb in Los Angeles ended with a policeman apparently kicking a suspect in the head as he lay face down on the ground.
Video footage, captured by TV news helicopters, shows the officer striking the man in a garden as he lay face down on the grass with his arms outstretched.
| Having already surrendered and lying face down before the officers even got to him, it is questionable why one officer has to kick him in the head, and then the next office seeming to beat him several times...

The officer mistook the mullet for a racoon.

Police brutality's not a new thing at all. The recent G20 crowds would've got a much worse hiding in the 80's...

US cops tolerate less than UK cops. Been that way for ages so nothing new.

Human beings don't always restrict violence to justified circumstances ... regardless of what they do for a living.
Failed promotion attempt, dumped by girlfriend, lost at the track, someone scratched your car and drove off, lack of sleep..... unfortunately you are fighting an instinctive response.
Every single one of us is capable of inappropriate violence given the right circumstances or stimuli.
Those with the lower tolerances and least resistance to those stimuli should not be the ones enforcing the law - which would be comment on the police officer in this instance.

Yeah so what!
If they were British cops they would have arrested the owner of the parked car that this scumbag crashed into!

Do you really believe that??
I once got the wet blanket treatment in a police holding cell because I didn't know the answer to a question......incidently...I still don't know the answer almost 20 yrs later.
And before anyone thinks that things were different in N. Ireland when I grew up during the troubles, this happened in England, although admittedly it was related to an incident in N.I.
There will always be bad cops (as in any profession), otherwise how could they play the good cop / bad cop game.

Ethics their is some truth in what you say. However when you are exposed on a daily basis,day in and day out to violence or the threat of violence,or simply stupid argumenative drunks,then your tolerances will eventually become very low.
I would guess in the USA were gun crime is pretty prevailent, cops just dont take any chances.
I believe the biggest majority of murdered officers in the USA are shot from a distance of 3 feet. Which is prove in itself that cops try to talk first.
I was disgusted,because i feel the BBC and government try to hush police murders up if they can. My opinion is based on the Policeman who was shot dead in London whilst talking to a member of the public. It warranted no TV exposure just a tiny bit in the papers.
Im sorry to say but race plays a part in this. If the killer had been a white football fan, you would never have heard the end of it. African asylum seeker suspected...nothing else said. The poor cop was sat on a bike,minding his own business,when he was killed.
