So because the cop "feared being in the media" he gave his service weapon to this guy and let himself get beat with it? Am I missing something here?
It sounds like he got his ass kicked and the suspect was apprehended by an officer who knew what he was doing. This idiot should be fired, and the charges dropped.
Good beatdown.

That is a rather well documented "social phenomenon". Doesn't matter if it's a cop or a woman getting raped, your chances of getting assistance from bystanders goes WAY down the more people that are there. Everyone expects someone else to intervene and no one does. Remember the girl that got gang raped by 4 guys during spring break? How many people helped her?
How do the civilians, who are at a severe almost complete disadvantage, "change" first?
Remember, we are talking about average people not gang bangers or violent criminals.
I have posted proof in other threads, straight from the mouth of cops, that it isn't just a few.

Why are we just talking about average people? Lots of times "average people" put themselves into terrible situations. The boy stopped for flashing the cop? The female who just hung herself? That needs change on both sides, not just the cops side of things. Both people acted like idiots and ended up dead. Both sides need to treat each other with respect and things would be a lot better. Mouthing off to a cop isn't a good idea. I have been there and dealt with the consequences. At the same time, cops don't need to mouth off for no reason either. Its a both sides problem, not just the cops.
But somehow mouthing off to a cop can end up with the civilian dead and the cop given a couple days off. That needs to change first, because someone hurting officer piggy's feelings doesn't deserve to be arrested or murdered because he never changed from being a bully in school.
In the case I stated, the boy did not just hurt the cops feelings. He did not obey lawful commands, and attacked the cop. So no it is not murder like you claimed. Your poor assumptions and name calling make you look silly. You're clearly bias and have no desire to change. You clearly are part of the problem too. No sense even trying to have a discussion with you, so I'll stop.
I understand that is how it is for almost everyone universally. It is still pathetic. I do remember that rape. And a video of four guys hitting one guy on a subway with everyone watching. The one person recording. It is very sad that we're at that point.

So a few random people post something and it is taken as truth no matter what? Gotcha.
I'm still trying to understand why anyone would think it a good idea for civilians to jump in to a struggle between an armed police officer and an unidentified stranger who may or may not be armed as well.
It's the right thing to do. Help if you can.
Curious to see what Ackmed thinks about these cops:
http://www.ajc.com/news/news/crime-law/two-former-east-point-officers-indicted-for-murder/nnMDf/
They continually tased/stunned a handcuffed man until he died. They chased him into the woods, and caught and handcuffed him. The man said he was short of breath and couldn't get up, so they tased him 14 times to get him to move.
That couldn't be considered abuse could it? Tasing a person to deliberately inflict pain?
Those two cops basically tortured that man until he died. I'm sure they didn't mean for him to die, but they sure meant to hurt him.
No thanks. If I help a cop and am still actively helping him in a struggle, any backup police come up and they won't see me as helping, they will see two criminals and quite possible shoot and kill both me and the actual attacker.
So no way would I jump in unless I knew whatever I did would be over in a matter of seconds, and allow the engaged cop to regain control.
But a brawl or wrestling match? We've seen way too many videos of cops shooting first, and I'm not risking my life that way.
You sir are a true American hero! Lol....
When did this ever become a racial thing? There can be white thugs, asian thugs, purple thugs, green thugs. It has nothing to do with race, unless someone makes it so. And it appears race was not brought into before, well...you did.
And do you have a better, more acceptable term for someone who assaults a cop?
Officer had a choice. Shoot the unarmed man dead, and become the next pariah that the national media condemns and destroys. Ruin your family and your life - forever. Or risk your own life and try to confront the suspect without a gun. At least your family would get benefits then.
