Well i will correct myself just for the record, the force that the cops used was not justified, but if this kid wasn't out committing 2nd degree felony's he wouldn't have put himself in that situation. At least the cops got him off the streets for his own good. Why should they prosecute these officers? they should get off with a slap on the wrists just like the criminals do......

Because potential permanent harm to your body is a bigger deal than a stolen material item. Actual physical damage to a human being > Material item, to sum it up. Now IMO that all depends on the item in question 
but by legal standards, that's basically how it is

First off, I am not your friend junior, people like you empower these thugs.. I bet you would let him and his friends rob you blind and gang rape your wife. For the record I never stated I felt the police were right, I simply don't feel sorry these thugs whatsoever. He made his choices and suffered the consequences and so did the cops. Theft and other crime are rampant here and the police for the most part are frustrated, way undermanned etc, but most do operate within the letter of the law. These officers let their emotions win out that day and they paid they price, all have been fired and are facing charges. Your buddy has been convicted and sentenced for the buglary as well. I am sure he will win his lawsuit against the city, which of course will appeal and drag the legal process out for years. He will be waiting a long time before he see's a dime, if ever...That sure sounds like a great get rich scheme...LOL

It's not a good situation for anybody involved. Can't believe the cops were not smarter than this, regardless if you think it is ok or not(personally, I don't care eitherway and see both sides).
They just jepordized their careers, and their families future. I'd care more about the possible outcome and what impact that will have on my family, and less about stomping some dumb criminals head in the ground when he was not a threat.

Whether you think that boy did or didn't deserve that beat down is almost completely irrelevant at this point. It doesn't even matter. They don't train you to pass judgement on a suspect, much less to punish them by kicking them while they lay on the ground, and those officers knew that. Their fault lies in that they let their emotions take control, they lost their cool, and did what they knew they weren't supposed to do. That is conduct unbecoming of a Law Enforcement Officer, and if they had any honor or integrity, they would surrender their badges and plead guilty.

Exactly. Everyone of those cops present should be kicked off the force, permanently, if not thrown in jail. Grown men stomping on the head of a 15 year old boy who has already surrendered and is lying on the ground is never justified simply because he committed a petty crime like theft.

You dont understand, that is all some of theses **** bags understand is a beating, makes them thing again the next time. These guys put their life on the line for us, not for themselves, till YOU do it, you cannot really speak. At least that is how i feel. Like i said, i cannot say if the kid deserved it, he is just lucky there was a random *** camera that was there to see it. Otherwise, we would have never seen or heard of this ****.

How many of you posting in here live in the Getto?Like Antoine and Desoto or Fifth Ward? That will bring you a new perspective of things like this but yes HPD over did it
I like Saudi Arabia and those places,they will just cut your hand off if you steal.
You will not steal again if you run out of hands....

The criminal was on the ground with hands open and spread. THere was NO reason for the beating. This was Rodney King type shiat here guys! Yes the guy was a criminal, but NO did not deserve the beating of a red headed stepchild. Again, the Judge and Jury decide the punishment, not the LEOs. Also, if any looked at the photos of the LEOs involved, they ALL look as if they just got out of school. Young rookies with an itch for some action. Speeding tickets are not action, beating *** is action.
They all (criminal as well as cops) need to be put under the jail.

I usually never get into discussions like this on a web board. Or atleast try not to. But honestly thats the most retarded line i have EVER read. The kid stole someone HARD EARNED property. I hope every time some punk *** person tries to steal anything they need to get their *** beat. If it would have been my house, he wouldnt have made it out the yard. You can count on that
