His use of force did not equal the level of resistance coming from the skater. Check out the Use of Force Continuum, which all PDs adhere to. If you think his actions were justified, then the other cops should have been pepper spraying all of the spectators for trespassing or maybe gathering without a permit?

Perhaps I misunderstood the original comment from “poopfan,” but it seemed to me that he was making a broad statement about all the cops there “being idiots at their jobs.” If that wasn’t his intent - My bad.  My response was meant to only defend the cops who lined the sides of the street (in the last video), or…

Maybe the cops were at the top as well? Assuming they were, it’s not too hard to bomb a hill from a little further down.

My guess is the old lady whose ankle I broke while skating as a kid would disagree wholeheartedly.

Yeah, because people with jobs never take a day off. I’d use one of my vacation days to ride that hill if I lived in SF. I’d do it with my gloves and a helmet tho.

San Fran’s about to pay 6 or 7 figures for this cop’s misconduct, too.

Technically they are doing their job. The officers’ commanders are the ones giving them orders. Part of their job is to listen to those orders.

I feel older, fatter, and dumber just for getting a glimpse of that place. Was that in Jersey or on a barge off the Mississippi coast?

Good to see that Wimbledon’s medical staff only needed 2+ minutes to respond to a screaming player on the court. SMH. Honest question - what is the standard protocol/requirements for medical staff in pro tennis?

In all fairness to their D, they ran out of gas due to injuries, and couldn’t cover the short passing game of the Pats any longer. All game, Chancellor was playing on one knee, Earl Thomas had one good shoulder, Sherman played with a bum elbow, they lost Lane after he picked Brady, and then they lost Avril and had no…

Guess all those Pats fans can break out their old Hernandez jerseys for the inevitable moment of silence at this seasons home opener!

Glad they won, but that play was complete garbage. There’s no way that’s what was drawn up during the timeout...

Literally the second time I can remember seeing a black guy at a NASCAR event (Brad Daugherty of course being the first). 

The kid elbowed him first, then he pushed him towards the box. Kid’s done...

I was unaware that Cleveland had any beautiful women?

Dak? WTH, he’s got top 3 talent at RB, OL, and WR. No way he’s worthy...

Poopfest was also the Seahawks game plan for last Sunday.

More importantly, who was #2?

Wait, so you’re saying Fox made it seem worse than it really was? Weird, their reporting is usually so truthful and accurate.

I doubt Graham would have said anything if his team would have won. Sour grapes must grown in hills of AZ...
