May be more to the story, who believes anything on the news any more? plus due to the number or LEO's that have been harmed recently, not sure I can find fault with them being overly protective of their own well being.....look how "protective" the news media covers the BLM hoods attacking troopers...the news always tries to paint any law enforcement action in a bad light...and they have no problem editing videos or omitting critical information. lets hear the rest of the story.

They should be fired, charged with assault, just like a citizen that treats another citizen the same way.
The dept. tried to hide this tape, a judge had to order them to release it. This incident should have been over in 1 min. But it wasn’t.

I agree and was disgusted when I saw this story esp. since the guy they were after hadn't lived there in what, 3 years? On the other hand, I'd love to see the thread stay on the initial story. We could fill 10 pages with stories of police misconduct and we could fill another 10 on police going above and beyond.
I don't blame him for going to the well lit area. I also spent time in the Military and i don't remember ever getting training to question the directives of the Police or other authoritative figures. As a matter of fact i do remember being trained to respect authority and comply with directives. As you say it's all good and we are all different in how we react to different situations. We can only do what we think is right for us as individuals.
i would encourage everyone to keep it civil. i just thought it was interesting how the cops told the same story in their reports that did not match up with what the video showed. its just a said state of affairs we are in right now.
I like the forum, but EVERYONE is entitled to believe what they want. I have agreed with some of your thoughts and other times I have not. But with this situation IF I'm asked to get out of a car from a Cop-Sheriff-State Trooper-Fish&Game I'm gonna. Plain and simply. And Do I think if he did and nothing was wrong, YES, they would have shakin hands and went on their way. ( All of them )
