For two, you've only given examples of when the police have been lenient there. I don't see how any of them change the morality of how the police dog handler responded to the situation. He warned, he let the dog loose, and after he was brought down the guy carried on trying to get away, so the dog continued in the effort to bring him down. I've no real reason to believe it wasn't exactly as clear cut as that, just as surely as you have no reason to believe it was. At the end of the day though, to speak about the guy involved, a family member outing you as a scumbag doesn't really lead me to believe you're the side of the story I should be listening to. Especially when your lawyer is already quoting facts to the press about injuries caused by police, omitting information like "this data is only applicable to 65 arrests out of 11000"

For one, don't patronise me, love.
For two, what part of I've seen a police officer taking class A drugs isn't comprehending? Taking class A drugs is seen by the 'police' as an unforgivable offence basically. So an officer doing something that they could potentially go to jail for isn't very responsible is it? Why should they be let away with an offence like that and this guy gets mauled for flinging a skateboard about. I just gave an examples of times where the police are hypocritical, but it's blasphemy if it's not them is all I'm saying.

Apples and Oranges. The two things don't have any bearing on each other. A corrupt police officer can be brutal, or they can be super lenient. A straight police officer can also be brutal or lenient. I also think you're pushing a view on me that you've had borne out by your own experience with the police. I've friends in the police force too, and I live round the corner from our local station as part of greater manchester. Its not like I'm some rube who's only contact with the police is CSI dramas and I don't know how things are in a city or with real policepeople. Yes, the police are human beings and are fallible, but they also have a job to do and they work in an environment and within a system that does its best to stamp out the kind of behaviours that you're implying are endemic (And without any but anecdotal evidence, no less)

If I was trying to force my opinion on you I'd probably give a fuck about the whole ordeal.
I get the whole corruption/brutality not being the same thing side too, I just don't see why you're shooting down what I'm saying as if it's got no relevance to the police being fine with doing something like this to a guy but find it completely acceptable to commit crimes themselfs?

The discussion is not "Are the police hypocrites". I have real trouble seeing how you can possibly believe it is.

It is absolutely down to who you are, how your dressed, if your female and your skin colour for the treatment you receive from them. I was at a festival not too long ago and I caught a police man perving at all the skimpily dresses women around. I mean I know he's a man but have some bloody restraint and do your job. But there are exceptions. There are some brilliant police officers out there just as there are good people in life. Unfortunately they are not necessarily going to be the ones who you end up with.

On the real though, cops are pussies these days. Fat ****ers too mostly. Coming from an exmilitary perspective, a cop should be able to run a mother****er down and whoop his ass. I dunno how they are in Canada but here where I'm at they're all lazy, out of shape, pompous bastards and I've never seen a one of 'em that could catch me. Quote:
My issue with it isn't that the guy was obviously a burntout dumbass, I think the problom was that the dog wasn't the right choice here. Run him down, taze him, call for backup, **** do like Aurora said and batarang his ass! The guy didn't hurt anyone so really ain't right to **** him all up.

I don't understand why the dogs were there in the first place, dogs are only usually used for raids here really. I can't think of any other situation where they're needed except for drug searches.
