Suspect punched by LPSO Deputy(VIDEO)

[Brian22]

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A COP BASHER, ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS WORKS FOR LPSO, AND I HAVE NO REASON TO FEAR/HATE THE POLICE, AS I FOLLOW THE LAW.

This is unprofessional; as if the public's trust wasn't shaken enough by the LPD's recent fallout already, now the LPSO. Did the strikes really hurt the kid? Doubtful, but you never strike a handcuffed, nonaggressive suspect. Period. This deputy needs to be fired; I say that even though I think I know the guy personally by his tattoos - good kid till I saw this. I know quite a few LPSO, so it's likely it is who i think it is.


**** Edit.... leaving my original observation up, but upon further reflection, my opinion is thus:

Nevermind... I thought the kid was crying at first, not laughing. I rescind my original statement, the kid likely deserved it and was being a smartass/resisting right before the cameras were turned on.

Was it just the karate chop to the neck? I didnt watch the whole video. If it was just the karate chop, I think this has been blown extremely out of proportion.

So what's the problem here?

What should he have done?

 

[Sugarbug]

Give the police their night sticks back.

How do we know the kid in cuffs didn't just headbutt the deputy before the cameras were turned on? Maybe that's why the cameras panned over to the incident? He may have kicked the deputy. Numerous things can happen, even when you are handcuffed. I'll wait for more info before passing judgment on either party.

thats why police get a bad name

 

[cookiemonster]

That wasn't a punch. There is a bundle of nerves in the neck there. Police officers are trained to strike there.

That cop needs to go to a gym and learn how to throw a proper punch because that was pathetic. At first I thought he suspect was crying from it then I realized he was laughing at him. I laughed too

All i see here is Failure to Comply to order's...

 

[rrussotwo]

I'd rather a chop to the nerve bundle in my neck than get tazed or worse.

Totally blown out of proportion, the suspect was clearly being a dick and non-compliant.

 

[themcfarland]

thats a propper strike for obtaining or maintaining compliance.. when delivered properly it will cause the knees to buckle. The defense to it is to pull the shoulders up to the ears, which if you look the kid was doing just by laughing and bad timing.
He was trying to get the kid in the car..

[Tulse Luper]

I see hyperhydrotic buttocks and white trash. Hey, white trash, don't throw **** in the pool.

 

[Guate_shooter]

Good to go, he had no other means to make him comply. Kid is lucky he didnt get sucker kicked into the car ........

Besides lets NOT forget he was in custody so I'm sure there was a reason for the cuffs

Offduty Officer looked like he had pipi his pants though

Some people were born to have the crap slapped out of them. Some people are born to do it.

brachial plexus

 

[Leadfoot]

Whew. You said LPSO, and I thought it was Livingston Parish SO.

I saw no problem.

He didn't look like this:

brachial plexus

Looks that way. As it dives below the sternocleidomastoid muscle. I sometimes have patients exhibit radicular symptoms into their arm due to impingement by this muscle.
