is it right to get attacked by 4 police officers?

larryrodz71

well i am sure your brother was praying the rosary to loud and pissed off the police........ i always wonder why that does not happen to the law abiding citizens...........
do not worry the courts will let him go for what ever crime he committed
sounds like your brothers a victim like the rest of the criminals out there

If he resists, runs, etc. Most cops are good people and dont just attack someone for fun.

It depends on the context. Was he resisting arrest? Was he fighting back and trying to harm them? Then, no, it wasn't uncalled for. If he was a rag doll and he was still treated that way, then, yes, it was uncalled for.

Jesus Freak

It depends on:
1. What he did and if he was considered ery dangerous

2. Whether he resisted them physically.

otherwise its wrong and illegal. Take it to court and show the bruises. But they may have been required to do so.

Well it really depends on the person who there attacking. It could be a terriost at an airport or a guy who's holding hostages. If those were to happen, cops should attack the person.

Jarod

The cops can do anything to him if he's resisting.

They don't just kick your *** cause you're cooperating trust me.

Now, once they put the handcuffs on, they are responsible for his welfare and if they did in fact spray him while handcuffed, that is wrong and should be reported.

But from the situation it sounds like your brother is definitely getting a resisting arrest charge tacked onto whatever the hell else he did.

Best of luck!

It is ok if he was listening to rap music.

Starlet

it depends. was he resisting?

Just A Guy...

No, they should have had backup... Maybe two or three more...

consrgreat

This sounds wroing......BUT ...I am sure you are not telling the whole story......

If he was fighting them, they were in the right, but if not you need to report it

Connemara

wat he do?????????????????
If he deserved it yes! If he resisted yes! BUT other wise NO!

Policemen have a "rule book" and so whatever your brother did must require that much force. I think there are different levels of force so this just may be a high numbered force. If what the policemen did was not according to what they were supposed to do in that situation then it would be a felany. Sounds to me that they went a little overboard but then again I dont know what your brother did...

It depends on what he did to provoke the attack... if he was armed and resisting arrest then he got what he had coming. If he was just attacked then he has a case of assault. The cops should have it on tape from one of their cars so I would start the process through the police department of looking into getting a copy of the tape.

kidweash

Well, it depends.... if he was resisting and hurting the officers... or maybe he was doing something to anger the officers.... its might be ok... but, if he wasn't resisting them...
or hurting or threatening anything....
Well, just pray for ur brother and he will be fine! =D
SMILE GOD LOVES YOU! =D

Attacked, just like this? Without any reason?
Don't you think that is rather strange?

Mistique Moon

sounds about right!!! They can do what they want to, if he resisted any way.

armychick_2001

But I see no mention of what he did to get them so riled.

Should have stood still, hands up and mouth closed - and followed their directions to the letter. If one doesn't do this, they may be subject to what you claim your brother got!

El Scott

If they ran up out of the blue and did this for no reason then no it's not right.

If he was resisting arrest then they are allowed to use force. Since the put him in handcuffs I would bet the farm he was resisting arrest (aside from the fact that I've never seen US Officers just attack someone at random). If you comply then these things simply don't happen to you.

katherine l

it depends what he did

Antonio L

was he high?

milkyoreos

what did he do?
It depends :P

eek the cat

I would have made him bite the curb too, but thats just me

Maggie

if they has too yes

but did they need ALL 4 officers?????

Lori K

If he was resisting arrest then yes, it is right.

Jolly swagman

It depends what he was doing.

eggchick

From your description it does sound a little extreme, but then I don't know what your brother did. Maybe it was warranted!?!

7/10 Split

If he resists arrest or refuses to follow their commands, I don't blame them one bit...

An0nym0us mAn1Ac

I doubt that they attacked him for no reason. They have to protect themselves.

sodpzzz

It depends if he was resisting them or not.

peasant.warriors

It is not an athletic contest. The officers have as their duty to stop him from being a threat to the public. It would be absurd for the four officers to say, wait, four against one is not fair. It is a job and they should use whatever tools and man power will best help them to successful fulfill their duty.
Jarod, being handcuffed doesn't keep you from resisting. A handcuffed man can still bite and kick you.
