You look, you decide.

Sad that my taxes keep that **** overfed and, probably, amped on meth.

Answer 1

If he wasn"t a cop would you still have "clear evidence" of a crime, or would it look like they both dodged the same way at the same time and the cop was protecting himself?   I admit that the shove looks like a battery, and no apparent reason appears on the tape, but that is a reason to look into it not to convict.  If we were to find out later that the cop recognized the person from a "wanted" poster, we would all feel pretty silly for condemning him now.  If that were in my town, there would most certainly be an investigation and, in all likelihood, a misdemeanor charge of battery.

Answer 2

I wonder what provoked the officer. No the officer will most likely never face charges in court. I am sure he will face a department review board for his use of force.

Answer 3

So, how do you know that the person riding a bike did not commit a crime or was wanted by the police?

What makes you think that the officer did this for the heck of it.

It is certain people like ^^^ who presume that the officer just did this for the heck of it.

Answer 4

That is an interesting video.  I don't think I would call it "clear evidence of a crime," though.

What if that cyclist was wanted for killing seven children and the officer needed to stop him and take him into custody?

It certainly looks bad, I'll give you that.  Having said so, I think that no one here knows the whole story there.

I would be curious to know the whole story.

Answer 5

That cop will never face any charges because he's a cop.
