April 3, 201412 yr Loaded question and you're placing the question as if those are the cut and dry facts. Okay, let me rephrase....Is there ever a time, in your opinion, that it's okay for a bystander to intervene if cops are using excessive force? Say, as he claims, the cops had him in handcuffs and are beating him...Is it okay for a passerby to speak up? Maybe try to stop them?

I'll also say that if a cop is that stupid and abusive then I don't know you would think he wouldn't do it to you. Sometimes it's best just to be a good witness
April 3, 201412 yr If you want to try and be a hero, go right ahead... So your saying never question a cop, is that right?
April 3, 201412 yr So your saying never question a cop, is that right? :lol2: You like putting words in people's mouths
April 3, 201412 yr :lol2: You like putting words in people's mouths You said not to get involved. What good does being a witness do? If the cops are the ones being excessive, they aren't going to bother taking your statement.
April 3, 201412 yr You said not to get involved. What good does being a witness do? If the cops are the ones being excessive, they aren't going to bother taking your statement. :ohbrother: you don't get it
April 3, 201412 yr You said not to get involved. What good does being a witness do? If the cops are the ones being excessive, they aren't going to bother taking your statement. If they're beating his tail for excessively, you're a fool for thinking you're gonna stop it. You'll find yourself on the wrong end of the excessive force along with whoever the victim is. So now you've gone and discredited yourself by interfering with an arrest. Be a good witness, take video etc and go to a supervisor not the cops you have an issue with. That's stupid and surely you aren't stupid are you to think they would be the ones you give a statement to :lol2:

That would do no good, so who do you go to?
April 3, 201412 yr Of course not, I'm sure as hell not going to the supervisor of those cops either though. That would do no good, so who do you go to? If you can't go to their supervisor then that agency has bigger problems then hitting someone in cuffs. No supervisor in their right mind would risk their retirement by not fielding your complaint and sending it up the chain to IA

No supervisor in their right mind would risk their retirement by not fielding your complaint and sending it up the chain to IA You're a lot more trusting of police officers than I am, but then again, I don't trust anyone I don't know, and even then I'm skeptical. :lol2:

April 4, 201412 yr So again, your advice is everyone should just stand there and do nothing, and watch a group of cops beat a guy so bad that he has to be air-lifted to the hospital? So you are going to jump in and "help"? I thought you abhorred all violence. Even to the point of not being sure you would use deadly force to protect your own family as you stated in another thread. But your going to jump into a situation that you know nothing about because you don't trust police officers....:ohbrother:

I thought we were talking in general terms.
