Yep. That's super cool that the cop knocked out a handcuffed guy. No risk of a lawsuit to the city at all. Kudos. View Quote Since you are obviously so highly trained, experienced, and intelligent, please share your wisdom on how I can prevent someone from spitting on me, and how I should respond if they spit on me anyway, since I don’t always have a spit mask available. Thanks in advance. |

So if a cop spits on me, am I free to knock him out? If a cop can stop, detain, harass or otherwise come after me for calling him a name, which some here would be fine with, does the cop get reprimanded, fined or otherwise in trouble for calling me the same names during interactions? See a problem? I do, because I know the answer. View Quote |

We being non professional LEOs can say what we want about this. I want to hear from the Law enforcement community. Being a professional LEO and trained in these types of situations. I'm sure some of you have been spit at before, maybe many times by these idiots. Was this the right thing to do as an officer of the law. To strike a handcuffed person. I know you've probably felt like it many times and they probably deserved it. But as an officer you are trained to have restraint and not be thin skinned. Even though we may like what he did. I'm betting alot of officers would agree it was wrong and that officer lacks restraint. He Will be watched by his superiors from here on out. He might end up being a liability for the dept.

Quoted: I know this may be difficult - but for the third time this incident isn’t about name calling or shit talking. Nothing happened until he spit in the cops face. View Quote |

Quoted: I don't blame the cop for knocking the guy out, but he should have left it at that. When he stood there afterward and gloated about knocking out a handcuffed suspect, that was not a good look on his part. View Quote But you have to admit, “whose the bitch now?” Sounds so much cooler |

Quoted:
I graduated from the academy 22 years ago. One of my classmates had a party. Her dad was a near retirement homicide detective and had been on our full time swat team. One of his buddies from swat who was wearing a Marine Corps hat wandered over to a table with some of us rookies and sat down. I braced myself for the typical Marine “You boots (new guys) couldn’t hack it in the old Corps,” brand of bullshit. He said, “I really respect you new guys. The job’s not what it was when I started. If I had to start now, I wouldn’t do it,” got up, and walked away. The job’s not what it was when I started 22 years ago. Knowing what I know now, I would not start a police career now.

The cop was charged criminally. There's another thread bitching about NYPD watching a fight. I don't know how this era of cops get through the day. He said, “I really respect you new guys.

Slept him. Cop will probably be fired. Admin doesn’t like when you defend yourself against handcuffed assholes.

View Quote I wouldn’t expect that type of knee flexibility and height of strike when I look at that officer. Inky doesn’t realize the cop had 125 pounds on him too. I would have a hard time not losing my shit if I were an officer. I respect the hell out of those guys for maintaining their cool day in and day out. |

Th kids of GD see no problem with cops being spit on. View Quote Officers gets poked by a needle going through pockets. Is the officers free to punch that person in the face and beat ten to the ground?

Part of me thinks "LE should be able to contain their emotions and not let shit talking and being spit on force them to lose their cool like that. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen."
Then the other part of me thinks "A man can only take so much and punks like that deserve an ass kicking." So I will file this under "I don't condone it, but I do understand it." |

Not true. Throw on additional charges, assault, resisting whatever. Knock him out and risk serious damage to a detainee? Seems like a bad choice for the officer.

I always thought I respected the police until I did a ride along with my ex brother in law who is a South Carolina State Trooper.
My respect for law enforcement skyrocketed after that ride. I admit that I was scared shitless at certain times throughout the night. Dangerous job with pay so low that states should be embarrassed of themselves. |

Cops can’t detain you for calling them names. Go ahead and quote the posters who said they can. If someone calls me a name, that’s part of the job. If I call someone that same name, I can get in trouble, starting with a letter of counseling, progressing through losing vacation time, unpaid suspension (with loss of seniority) and although this hasn’t happened on my department yet, if it’s an ongoing problem, an officer could be fired. See the problem? You don’t actually know the answer. |

no wonder America s where it's at with some of the moronic views here. Spitting is simple assault, police are trained to deal with harassing and verbal detainees and this flies in the face of every training I know for LE. Cop is wrong, NO QUESTION and that precinct will pay and that cop will get suspended
thinking this is ok is no different than having a thug force akin to despotic regimes. Think otherwise and you too are the problem. Some of you really are either low class, no proper upbringing, or just degenerate losers who need to act tough. Cop is dead wrong here also, what diseases do you think are spread through spitting? Mono and what else????? it's like the board is full of retards of late |

Oh I understand. I’d be pissed as hell of someone spit in my face. It would take everything in me not to punch them in the face. However, guy is cuffed, and not a threat.
