Being a police officer and seeing this shit in Minnesota it has me absolutely disgusted. I put my uniform on everyday and kiss my wife and daughter goodbye to go to a job that I love and that I’m proud to do. It honestly pisses me off that humans like that exist. I don’t know /1
He could ever think that was ok. There is no training that teaches that. We are taught to subdue a suspect as quick as possible and by all means do what you have to do to get the person under control. When that happens and they are cuffed the the threat is gone. This officer /2
Is sitting there with his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face. His friends and co workers can say he is a good guy and this went to far or whatever they want but the bottom line is that is bullshit. He is a bully, a coward, and a thug. I hope he is arrested /3
And charged within the fullest extent of the law. 99.9% of cops are good people. There are crappy cops just as there are crappy doctors, lawyers, and wal mart workers and none of it is ok. I don’t put my safety on the line everyday for people to get away with this shit /4
And I am frankly sick of seeing it. I have lost my cool several times. I have done some things that in hindsight I should have done differently but I have never took enjoyment in seeing another person suffer. That is completely against what we are supposed to be about. /5
We are supposed to be here to protect, serve, and unite our communities. That can’t happen if this stuff don’t stop. I hope everyone opens their eyes and sees that maybe if they have these tendencies they should find another job. It’s time for everyone to assess how they /6
Conduct themselves and see what they can do differently to make this world a better place. I don’t want your kids or my kid seeing this on TV and growing up to ever think that treating someone like that is ok. It’s not ok. It has to change. I will be praying for his family.
