[+] Hardeehar@lemmy.world -85 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (8 children) It's another video taken out of context, we have no idea why, everyone just assumes the cop is excessive. Eventually we'll see the full video. Downvotes need to be more than this, I need to know how you really feel about it lol. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 16 child comments replies: [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago Is there a justification for body slamming a person after they cry and hesitate for 1.5 seconds? If the answer is yes, you're a horrible person. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago Damn there's a whole mess of bootlickers in here today. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) I have worked in a field where I routinely needed to restrain people larger than myself without hurting them. These people were unwell, sometimes violent, and often paranoid and aggressive. I never once fucking bodyslammed an adult patient or punched them. I had to restrain teenagers, many who looked a lot like this girl (who may not have been 100% compliant, but was definitely not "resisting" as I have been resisted by teenage patients). I never once fucking bodyslammed a small teenage girl or punched her. Nor did I fucking bodyslam and punch a 200+lb highschool football player with paranoid delusions and a penchant for punching nurses. Why not? Because there is absolutely zero need to do that, it's fucked up and mean, it could seriously hurt them, and it's illegal besides. When I was doing this type of work, I was much smaller than the pig in the video, and again restraining teenagers up to 300+lb adults. The lack of a need to do something forceful, and doing the forceful thing anyway despite not needing to is the definition of excessive force. Bodyslamming an unarmed, small, possibly inebriated teenage girl as a 200+lb man is excessive and fucked up. If you think this is OK, you need to take a step back and ask yourself why you think that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago ..what more information do you need beyond bodyslamming a skinny 18 year old girl and punching her while shes down? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago That cop must be a pathetic little bitch if he's THAT afraid of a little girl. Maybe we should put some strong confident people in those positions instead of frightened babies. permalink fedilink source parent [–] athatet@lemmy.zip 10 points 22 hours ago We aren’t assuming the cop is excessive.
