lol i watch this b4 i leave my house to remember the rules jk lol, knowing is half the battle
LOL. You need to check your reality level... its about two quarts low.
LSP started going to Mardi Gras in 1979 when NOPD went on strike. I was there, and it was a goat-f^ck of the first order.
Unfortunately, it became something of a tradition. Nowadays, LSP is primarily there to handle day-to-day district policing so certain NOPD cops can take off and work $100-an-hour security details.
There have never been riots, etc. in New Orleans because NOPD is ruthless about nipping that sort of thing in the bud. I'm as critical of them as anybody, but rest assured they know how to handle business and keep the peace. The only reason things got out of hand during Katrina was due to a lack of mobility; the water prevented the cops from getting to the heathens in a timely manner.
Bottom line is, you act the fool down there and you're going to get attention... and not the kind you're hoping for.
.
I live "down there"; my family is from "down there".
We trust the LSP because they act professionally and do not have a reputation for brutalizing citizens.
NOPD has been out-of-line for decades. I have seen videos of NOPD officers in uniform looting stores.
I do not fear Lafayette cops, Baton Rouge cops, Slidell cops, LSP, etc.
Where have you been, Mr. LSP ?

Try to hit a cop, and you can expect an ass-kicking. Was the cop right to hit the guy in the face after he was down? Heat of the moment and all. The cop can claim he was emotionally worked up due to being inn a fight. Do any of you recall the Rodney King video? The cops beat the crap out of a guy laying on the ground, and by saying that the video didn't show what happened before and after they introduced reasonable doubt. I doubt these people will win a lawsuit, but if they do good luck collecting from the city of New Orleans. The line forms to the left.
Really the guy is cuff and once he goes to the ground he is no longer a threat. No excuses for that one.
No you should not expect a ass-kicking revenge is not a cops job, you should expect the proper force used to get you under control.
So what, you're suggesting that cops, whenever they're violently attacked are required to stop and evaluate the situation to determine exactly the prescribed amount of force required to subdue the attacker, all without getting pumped up? I don't think there are many people who can master their emotions that well, specially in the midst of an unexpected violent assault.

You do realize that cops are human beings and grown men before, during , and after they put on their work uniform right?
Unless your sac is empty, i am sure you would respond similar as a sentient being if someone kicked you in the sac...unless there is nothing there.
Let me guess, cops are supposed to transcend their human instincts and general rules of civility because of their job?
Sorry dude, probably wouldn't do it if you are in cuffs for liability reasons, but you kick me in the junk, stand the F by. Whether I am working for NOPD or Mickey D's.
Yes I do I was one for 7 years, I was in way worse situations than that and did not overreact like that. Im not saying you can't use force but once that guy went to the ground with cuffs he was no longer a threat and the punches that came after were uncalled for. There is no way you can support what the cop did at least I hope not

We have theme here to im not saying cops can't use force I was making comments only on that video and I think it is clear he went over the line.
Do you support that cop or agree with what he did?

I have to agree that when you're dealing with a violent assault, it's understandable that your emotions can run away. It's also unreasonable to expect a cop to restrain himself given he's dealing with a violent person. I also thought that the whuppin he gave that guy was pretty mild.

Hypothetical...let's say the guy isn't in cuffs, and it's ME, an average Joe, he half-heartedly attempts to drunkenly kick in the crotch. I proceed to hit him, he falls flat on the ground and is no longer a threat. I punch him 5 or 6 more times in the face, because that's what guys do, it's uncontrollable right?
The question is...how severe would my charges be when I got arrested?
