How do people like this pass the psych evaluation to even become officers? It's quite obvious that these four guys were..
A) bullies in school
B) failed jocks
C) all of the above that watch way too many episodes of COPS

You can believe there was a reason they beat his arse like they did. Cops don't kill people for fun. Dogs, maybe. Not people though.

He must have really pissed in their Cheerios. Maybe even literally. That would be enough "reason" to beat a man to death with a flashlight huh?


Not calling you out for saying it btw, there should just be zero excuse in this case.

That's awful. There's no way you can justify beating someone to death.

I think cops have very stressful jobs, and a lot of times they're scared too.

All you have to do is slap some cuffs on him and throw him in the back of a car. You shouldn't have to beat a man to death to do that. All four of these guys should at least get major jail time.

All the guy had on him was a screwdriver. He wasn't posing much of a threat to anyone. There is zero justification for what these cops did.

Ehhhhh, that's debatable.

Then they should DWI, to be short. If I'm foul-tempered and I act on it, I won't keep my job.

Still no excuse to beat a guy to death.

Not a cop, but surely 4 male police officers can get a guy down and cuff him behind his back without having to beat him to death.

You can call me out... I'm rarely educated when I throw out an opinion.

I doubt they meant to beat him to the death, ya know? But hey, shite happens and you have to pay the piper.

Probably because they beat the shite out of him before for no reason.

They don't need a real justification. Just enough to say "procedures were followed."

Shoot a dog, shoot a delusional druggie. Same thing.

Would have made the national news and Rodney King 2.0 riot happens if he was _____. If Obama had a younger brother...

But all jokes aside, can't defend the cops on this one. No excuse for beating a man to death.
