wat! Apparently he did clip an officer on foot prior to this, but beating a guy that just got ejected and is lying there lifeless...pretty F'd up.

The full video is here, apparently:

But I can't seem to get it to load.

wow thats just horrible. i cant believe people would do that. and the police wonder why people hate them so bad. not saying all cops are bad but this is a prime example of why they are hated so much

To qoute somone's reply in the second link. "The police have a very dangerous and high risk/stress job, but they still need to exercise some restraint and discipline... At least turn off the cameras and wait till he wakes up. Whats the point in beating an unconscious scum bag?"

I do agree with the 5 beaters being fired, I mean that's just about the only thing you can do for something like this.

That makes me sick... Ugh.

If you watch the second link you can see the man damn near take out the one officer throwing the spike strip. So I can understand somewhat why the would want to beat the crap out of him, but I mean come on make sure he is conscious so he can resist arrest to justify the beating.

[awd-drifter]

damn, that is messed up. I mean, I respect what cops do but cops like these are the ones why people hate on cops so much. He should have just been ran over to end his torture.

Ridiculous. There seems to be more and more of this all the time.

[mdost03]

What did the guy do that made him run from them?

That's F--- up! Cops are like bad guys with a badge.
