  • Those idiots could have saved themselves so much time and bad P.R. if they would have answered the question, if only for the camera. The old fella, despite being way more than the two could handle, wasn't being aggressive or irrational.

    • @Blank Reg It I am just hoping that that old dude sues their ass for being unprofessional, regardless he was guilty or not.

    • @Residue How are they being unprofessional? A law enforcement officer tells you to do, you do. He obviously has a reason. He does not have to tell the old man, the girl filming who asks why or anyone else. Point is...comply and afterwards the old man would know what was up even though he already knows why the officer is trying to cuff him. He just keeps asking to stall and look for a chance to run or pull a weapon. The cops could have beat the living snot out of him for not doing as told and und More..

    • @Blank Reg
      dont you think it would save everyone trouble if the guy just let the officers detain him? He obviously did something otherwise the officers wouldnt have went through all that trouble

  • I understand that the Police have a difficult and demanding job, add to that, that I know little about the American Judicial System. But, is it not the mans legal right to know why he is being arrested? Must he not also be read his rights? The punch in the face is imho definitely assault, it in no way eases his arrest, if you want to do that, you do so with other means involving no strikes, something I know a little about.

    • @robbers True, you know little about it. There is no law that says you must be read your rights. It's just a court ruling that what you say can't be used against you unless you are.

    • @argett WTF! He resisted from the start to the end of the fricking video. You do NOT have a legal right to be told anything until after you have complied with any and all lawfull orders from law enforcement officers. If any of the twats spouting off about how this black ahole is being treated were standing there and the cop let up on this"old man" and then he pulled a gun and shot at the cop and hit one of your whinning asses you would be the first to say the cop did not do his job and More..

  • There's a thing known as being read your rights before you're arrested and to have clearly been given the reason for your arrest.

    • @BobbyHill519 How about you try to subdue an elderly man who may have a needle or a pistol, they have been looking quite strong and tough on here lately. And you are talking to yourself man..

    • @snipingangel Because some weak lil punk cop can't handle a, (insert sarcasm here), "dangerous criminal" you think everyone would have a problem? Seems legit. He could also have a pool ball in a sock, or a grenade, or a flamethrower, or a broken glass covered boxing glove, or a tazer, or a mini bat. He could have a number of things, but he probably didn't because he never brandished it. If cops continue to think that the public is so sneaky and dangerous we will continue to live in More..

    • @snipingangel How, why and what the fuck are you talking about? Instead of just using a generic term like "dangerous" why don't you provide some proof to back up your argument? Expressing your personal opinion and then using an insult does not back your claim.
