This is a professional family. Mom's an engineer, none of them have ever had any trouble with the law before. And yet, the whole family went to jail....over an alleged stop sign running. |

I saw the video and my first reaction prior to seeing it was that there has to be more to the story than a simple traffic stop. I have been stopped MANY times and NEVER felt any threat of violence. That being said, in NO WAY does it excuse the actions of the officers and especially not the huge fat-ass that ran up and kicked his head into the ground.

When the cops tell you to take your ass inside and let them do their job...you should comply, or be arrested for obstruction, its fairly simple.
Also...never heard of any simple run stop sign ending up with someone getting their face smashed into the curb, unless there is more to this story.. |

These "Officers" should be in prison. Horrible. The fat "Officer" even kicks their poor confused family dog. This is absolutely DISGUSTING and DISGRACEFUL. |

You realize that, as in many documented incidents, "take your ass inside" can actually mean, "take your ass inside because we don't want to see ourselves on YouTube abusing citizens."

From what I can see the family members are the ones that escalated the situation. Cop tells you to leave, you leave. You don't stand there and argue with them. They brought this onto themselves.
Fat cop needs to fired. There was no call for his conduct whatsoever. |

Discretion can be the better part of valor, depending on the situation. The problem, however, is there is too much "respect mah authoritah" that simply presumes the <insert government agency> is in the right, their power to act is absolute, and woe be unto the peasant who dares defy them. Folks play up the, "They have a tough job, walk a mile in their shoes, boo hoo," line, and meanwhile those agencies enjoy greater power and broader legal protection from all manner of transgressions.

Why are none of the enforces stopping the fat **** from abusing the citizens? Why did they not stop his assault? Apparently, the other enforces condone and accept his treatment of the citizens. Of course, that assumes we are citizens and not already subjects.
