longer video than what i saw on the news here on YT

im really surprised the deputies allowed the guy to remain on the bus and still record. they could have easily ordered everyone off the bus for "their safety".

interview with the army vet who recorded the incident

What other footage would be missing though? Its not like that cop was retaliating after being swung at. Consider a service done to the public as this guy gets weeded out from the batch.

I just quit being a cop after 10 years because of idiots like that cop. Something has gone terribly wrong with police mentality. I attribute crap like this to the academy training not being able to weed out the bad cops now days. Rookies can not get yelled at in training or an EEOC gets filed....SAD.

When I started I was so proud to be a cop now I am embarrassed to say I was.

I really do encourage the public to come forward like that.

Although I am not a LEO i do work with them a good bit. Some people just lose control after awhile.

and not to point out the obvious, but that cop is white, the film maker is black. This stuff is all to common. why the shit is he filming the cop anyway. I don't film cops when they are doing their job.

For lack of a better word you sound to be a very narrow minded individual, It's sad that you will call into question the integrity of a US Veteran that is very well spoken and in no way stating anything that didn't happen, simply because of the color of his skin.

He is filming the cop because of exactly what you said, the cop was not doing his job. If the only way that officer can subdue an overweight bi-polar middle aged female is by punching her to the face which is never taught in any LE academy or training then he should not have that position. Nowadays police have many tools they can use. He could of maced her, tazed her, or taken her to the floor as hard as he pleased and cuffed her and yeah people will still bitch and complain but he would be in the right.

That guy was dead wrong in every way and I hope he losses his job for it. In any branch of the military he would at the minimum lose rank for it. There is no accountability being held in civilian jobs.

So Soldiers are good enough to go overseas and fight terrorists with the same morals and ethics as LEOs but when a LEO does something apparently wrong you're going to throw the Soldier under the bus.

BTW when a Soldier does something wrong they do face UCMJ and fellow Soldiers do not condone those actions even if there is a perception of wrongdoing. Perception is reality.

Oh here we go instigating stuff and turning it all around like I'm now a soldier hater. Not the case by no means, go feed that crap to someone else!
Now it does look like several soldiers are going to have to pay up for what they did, like peeing on bodies.
The officers Chief has already said the officer will have to go through some retraining. His words, not mine.

Here who comes carrrnuttts? Dude you need to take a chill pill and relax its just me. Catch your breath and lighten up.
I'm not taking anything personal. I'm just waiting for the whole story to come together.
Guess I could say the the same thing about you the cop haters have arrived.

I question just how "special needs" she was. My mom teaches special ed in a high school and someone with dislexia is considered special needs, same goes for bipolar.

I have several family members that are LEOs, I myself am in the Navy and never in any sort of law enforcement training are you taught to pull back and swing at someone in the face.

You couldn't be more wrong. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. How does you being in the Navy have anything to do with law enforcement training? You have no knowledge of law enforcement defensive tactics.

In regards to this video....I'm not so sure that the elbow was the Deputies best option at that point. There are other options available if he needed to distract her or to move her off balance. The female Deputy should be reprimanded for standing there like a limp wristed piece of shit.

While getting into a fight in a bus may sound like loads of fun...It's not. The woman was clearly displaying violent tendencies in the video. At that point they were attempting to place her under arrest lawfully. She was disorderly and resisting arrest. How close would I let someone get to my face before I get them out of it? Not that close! But again, the elbow may have been a tad premature.

Just my honest/professional/experienced/trained opinion based upon the information available.

Amen, it shocking to me that LEO's defend each other the fullest extent. I'm a Soldier and if I see any service member violate UCMJ or policy I will call them out on it.

Service members and LEO's really aren't that different. The military will openly admit that it lowered recruiting standards and allowed people to join in a time of war. This action lowered the caliber of service members across the board, we are now attempting to fix it with a draw down. The standards for LEO recruitment aren't much different, police organizations can't say they allow only the best and most professional 100% of the time.

We all make mistakes but c'mon man....There was no need for that type of abuse. More than likely he'll keep his job but will be reprimanded and dealt with accordingly by his superiors.

I am not instigating anything and I'm certainly not turning this "around" like you’re a Soldier hater. You did that yourself. You simply wrote what you wrote, now man up and accept it. It is what it is. As far as the Marines pi$$ing on the dead bodies, ask any Marine, they want them out and punished. They tarnished the USMC name and reputation, not to mention the US. They are probably in confinement by now, if not very soon. Which is more that you can say about your "buddy" LEO. Remedial training is a joke and you know it. It's not going to change someones attitude and anger issues.

Also, I am not a LEO hater. It just dissapoints me that LEO's like you defend your bretheren so much so that you will sling anything out there just to defend them yet in DS you all "claim" if you caught another LEO speeding you would write him a ticket.

It certainly depends on the infraction/charge. For the most part no one gets cut a break on a criminal charge. For an infraction, I use the same descretion I use for other drivers. However, most officers rapidly admit they had their heads up their ass and ask for help and that goes a long way. While most drivers get defensive and demand a break.

I agree with the above posts. It would depend on the situation and circumstances. I too have written officers in my 22 years, but only three that I know of.

Bullcrap! When you look in your mirror you will see the face of an instigator. I have nothing to "deal" with. The remedial training again is from his Chiefs mouth, but is yet to be determined?
What does me writing a ticket to another officer have to do with this story? You need to stay on track.

Ah, finally someone with an open mind and first hand experience.
Svtcop did make some valid points on the female officer. Basically, not doing a darn thing! I don't want to think what would have happened to her if she was alone. Not good at all.
This Special needs person looks to be as big as the two officers put together. Unless I misread, she has been convicted of assaulting four officers. Guess the 911 caller made all this crap up and will be facing charges of 911 abuse.

Those were your words that you wrote. You tried to discredit me with the Marine peeing issue, that didn't work so you're sticking with the instigator. Sounds like you need to cut the crap. You brought the Soldier's in this as an issue with your accusation. Like I said before just man up and take resposibility for your comments.

What does you writing a ticket to another officer have to do with this story?
It shows in previous comments, that LEO’s would do the direct opposite of what you are defending in this incident and issue a citation. If LEO’s claim they would write a citation for speeding but defend this, it is contradictory. This thread illuminates your bias in defense of LEO's. Therefore, your comments here are reflective of your bias. It's not a light switch you can turn on and off, you are biased toward LEO's. I'm not saying it is good or bad. Am just saying if you are going to cut a break to someone, it will be a fellow LEO.
