If they fire him they're admitting that they're hiring people that are unfit for the job. It's a black eye on them as well. Seems like no one ever wants to admit they made a mistake. I'm guessing that the guy said something the cop didn't much care for and he lost his temper. No one is buying the story about a fighting stance.
There are always going to be people who can't handle the pressures of the job. The problem is accountability. These stories always end up being about deflecting blame instead of correcting mistakes.
Could be that the Police in a lot of cases are localised in America being paid and answerable to local authorities like the Mayor and councils so any reform would have to be filtered and reviewed by thousands of different agencies, making it difficult to enforce an overarching policy.

what fighting stance was that?
looked scary

I was wondering what fighting stance he was talking about. He decided to come around and punch the guy way before.
Gotta be Tuff on Crime(tm)
That shit was personal.
Still cant tell what made him lose it like that. He was clearly wanting to beat his ass from the word go.
EDIT: Ok I see him push the girl a few seconds before the cop goes nuts. And then looks like he's saying something to the cop. This needs audio. Maybe he said something about the cops mother.

Cop wanted to know if he was about that action since the guy got in his face in front of the liquor store.

No, the person shitposting is the one trying to start the argument. Honestly I don't know how people don't get banned for constantly doing shit like that.

lol, he tried to snatch a boob grab too
In my years of retail, I've been called tons of nasty things by rude customers. It still gave me no justification to ever attack a customer. It doesn't matter what was said at all.

Absolutely. I'd bet from the earlier footage that some words were exchanged and the cop lost his shit. Can't be doing that and wear a uniform...

Technically the universe should've imploded with two dehumanizing stares being aimed at one another DBZ style
I can start to see devil's advocate gafs point as the officer started to go into his charge up slide then realized he was a cop and had to suppress it.
Just imagine if the 'suspect' had been smoking weed guys. IMAGINE.
No doesnt matter what he said as far as justifying it, but I'm curious to hear.
As far as you though, if someone was nasty and rude to you and you popped him in the mouth I'd support you. A cop is a different story altogether.

Holy shit that video. That officer should be fired and charged with assault,he wasn't looking to make a arrest he was looking to fight.
Ye that was one serious sucker punch and for someone who was in a fighting stance, he really defended himself. Come on now, the dude didn't see it coming cause he was not prepared for it.
You shouldn't support responding to non-violence with violence.

so when will there be a stand your ground law put in place to legally protect yourself from a cop?
if there was no video and witnesses, this cop couldve easily lied and done worse. there needs to be some legal way to protect yourself from this besides a lawsuit after the fact.

Only answer I can see is to have video at all times. I can only imagine how many people are beat up by cops that aren't on video.
Never, you cannot attack a peace officer at any time. They represent the law, to attack them is to attack the entire justice system and the rule of law. Best way to protect yourself from a bad cop is to record, comply, and report. Most of the incidents with these cops are avoided if people don't make trouble for them, but then again these incidents also help weed out the bad cops.
Hopefully this idiot gets the book thrown at him. Poor guy.

and preemptively calling people out isn't?
How the hell was that a "fighting stance"? And he wasn't hitting on his g/f, she seemed like she was trying to get him away from the police before something happened (good on her btw). Then the one cop holds him while the other one wails on him. Ridiculous. Makes you wonder what would have happened if the g/f wasn't there to break it up.

That coming from the guy who just hit the Utah thread with the top 40 smash hit you may have heard called "let's wait for the evidence guys"
It's as if there isn't a long running parody of these types of posts. All this shit has been mapped out before fingers hit the keys.

That's . . . wow.
You guys laugh but wait until we find the two grew up together and the cop actually did have a full knowledge of the victim's prowess in drunken style. I can see youtube tutorial videos of home dude axe kicking slabs of granite in half coming to light. You guys will be sorry you were so quick to damn this officer then.
Except when it's cops or politicians committing the crime. Gotta be tough on poor people crime. It's important to clarify.

Heard about this earlier actually happened not too far from my job. This doesn't surprise me though, Baltimore City police are nothing but thugs. I can't wait until I move from this shithole.

The fact that the cop could have conceivably gotten away with this scott free is the problem. Focusing on cops' mental well-being instead of discussing how the law makes unpunished poor police behavior possible allows people to use the "not all cops" argument, no matter how many incidents there are.

You're pretty bad at being snarky. You usually just come off as bitter. So you should probably just stop trying. Leave stuff like this to freenudemacusers.

This aggresive/fighting/whatever "stance" thing is fucking ludicrous.

People ignore this shit all the time though. We haven't even gotten to a point in this country where we start holding account the cops that actually SIT there and watch this shit happen, then either assist in covering it up or don't report it.
We're still trying to get police that saddle women on the side of the highway and pummel their faces in to be tried under the law. Think about that shit for a minute man.
A dude openly on top of a woman beating the shit out of her on camera and on an interstate in view of passing cars, and we're still debating whether he should face charges or not cause he's a cop. that's the uphill climb we're dealing with in every police brutality or homicide case.
Face it Tiger..
