I'm tired of these bs excuses, why is this ok??
Dude appeared to be a mouthy dick.
Top tip: Cops aren't allowed to hold and pummel you because you're a dick.
Everyone involved except the lady is a clownfart.
Why does no American politician ever dares to suggest reform in the police corps? I mean, people see this and thinks that there's no problem or whatsoever with police acting like thugs? I mean, Jesus fuck.
I'll just set this right here for those of you who haven't seen it.

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.
cops playing the knockout game now smh
Could a lawyer who represented someone that was put in jail due to this cop's testimony potentially use this situation to get their client out of jail/prison?
I seriously hope this piece of shit is fired. To do anything less just tells officers they can do whatever the fuck they want even if they get caught.
I don't think Stinkles is implying that both sides are equal. Police officers are held to a higher standard than the rest of society. But if you're making threats at someone you're still a dick. Being sucker punched in the face doesn't invalidate your dickishness. It just makes the other guy an even bigger cock.Uppity=Violent Cop..lol, too cute.
Carlos Miller said:The prosecutor dropping the charges against Truss is a no-brainer, but his review of the videotape should have immediately led to criminal charges against Cosom and the other officers. Cosom committed assault and battery against both Truss and Coleman, but instead of instantly facing criminal charges and being fired from the police force, Cosom is currently on paid administrative leave.

Does this paid administrative leave thing happen in other fields?
I can be fired for sleeping on the job. I wonder what would happen if I punched out a jogger in front of our building.
Damn. I can get a PAID VACATION to play the knockout game!? Sign me up!
I agree 100% that the cop deserves to be tried and loose his job and go to jail over this if found guilty, but posts like this are seriously stupid. You think the cop is currently in Vegas gambling or on a Caribbean cruise right now? He is essentially under house arrest and that is the proper thing to do. The cop shouldn't be on the job until cleared, can't go around tampering with evidence or witnesses and can't flee the country. But his family's livelihood shouldn't be effected in case he is found innocent for whatever reason.These dudes get a paid vacation for knocking out essentially defenseless people. Its crazy.
Cleared of WHAT? Did you see the video? I mean, he did it. Why the same paid leave shit, as if he did nothing wrong? Not sure about this "but" stuff..I agree 100% that the cop deserves to be tried and loose his job and go to jail over this if found guilty, but posts like this are seriously stupid.

So if there is a video of someone sucker punching someone you can just skip the trial and go directly to punishment? The whole right to a fair and speedy trial with a lawyer means nothing now? Sure the cop is guilty as sin and will be found guilty unless something crazy happens but you gotta go through the judicial process.Cleared of WHAT? Did you see the video? I mean, he did it.

Yes. It's standard procedure, because you don't want to penalize someone before the investigation is completed. It's there for a reason, even if in cases like this it's blatantly obvious what needs to be done.Does this paid administrative leave thing happen in other fields?
Christ, the whole thing's on camera and it doesn't even matter.
He certainly could be if that's how he wanted to spend his "leave" time.I agree 100% that the cop deserves to be tried and loose his job and go to jail over this if found guilty, but posts like this are seriously stupid.

Um... no. Not remotely.He is essentially under house arrest.
He's not "out on bail." He's on "paid administrative leave." He can do pretty much whatever he wants.The cop ... can't flee the country.

So every single person would get paid leave for something like this? You act as if he's sitting in a corner, in his Baltimore basement, sobbing like an infant. He's getting paid..he shouldn't. Is there something wrong with that statement?So if there is a video of someone sucker punching someone you can just skip the trial and go directly to punishment?

It's bullshit..How is it that you don't get paid in the US when you can't come to work because you are sick, but you do get paid because you can't come to work because you assault or murder someone (someone black or brown) as a cop?
Seems kinda weird tbh
Oh, Baltimore.
Last week saw another use-of-force arrest caught on video, only a week after a previous video emerged, where the public debate over the very meaning of that phrase continues in its muddled rage.
This time, it was one unarmed man against five officers, all of whom have since returned to work after a short stint on paid administrative leave. Baltimore police insist the officers use of taser and baton was justified because the victim, Jamar Kennedy, had been reaching for the cops gun.
But then a cell phone video emerged showing Kennedy was just trying to defend himself from repeated blows with the baton.
Ugh, America seriously, how fucking hard is it to not employ complete shits in your police force? Do they even do interviews?
Well we know NYPD don't hire people with high IQ levels. I wouldn't be shocked if this practice extended to other departments.

On Friday, however, the department’s top brass called another press conference, this time saying they are calling for a United States Department of Justice investigation into the department, considering the latest video is hardly an isolated incident. In fact, the city has dished out $5.7 million in court judgements and settlements in 102 cases since 2011, according to the Baltimore Sun, who conducted a six-month investigation into the department.
