Are you kidding me? The man was unconscious... I mean I see that he tried to run over the officer....but when the officers start acting like the hoodlums they are after, we have trouble!! Unbelievable...

Sure he deserved it but maybe at a later time. Don't see a point in beating someone who is already down for the count. However, you can "monday mornin' quarterback" the heck out of it now. Unless you've been in a stressful situation like that you don't know how you would react. Just imagin what you would do to someone who tried to runover one of your good friends. Just my thoughts.

Naw, they were making sure a dangerous dude was undangerous,look at the time frame, happened quick, and they didn't continue to beat him after they KNEW he was down

Professional law enforcement officers are not supposed to allow emotions to get in the way of their judgment. They are supposed to approach "stressful situations" with the cool detachment that come with their training. If they can't do that then they don't need to be in law enforcement. Just my thoughts.

All those hits and kicks looked legal to me. Maybe we can get those guys over here in Memfrica and take it one street at a time.

Not saying your wrong by any means, but if that be the case then looks like all these officers need to hang up the badge cause for some reason they ALL mad as hell and ALL beat the crap out of him

Perhaps it says more about the police department and politics in Birmingham than the professionalism, or lack there of, of these officers. I went through Memphis a few weeks ago and saw a billboard advertising for police officers. That just struck me as odd that Memphis would need to advertise to recruit applicants to their police academy. That told me a good bit about the state of affairs there. I would imagine the same state of affairs exist in Birmingham and Jackson.

Now how one goes about fixing such a systemic problem, I have no idea.

I will throw my opinion out there. If you run from the police, then you deserve what you get....If you try to kill a LEO then you have no rights. They should have hit him more than they did.
