Another Police Beating Caught on Dash Cam, Ruled A-OK. It’s Just Police Work

What kind of restraint should cops have to
exercise when trying to induce compliance in a target? Judging from
how often the use of force by cops is ruled not excessive, not much
restraint is necessary. More cases of alleged police brutality may
be videotaped, by passersby or by cops’ various cameras, but cops
can often still expect to be exonerated. It took fellow cops at the
Red Bank Police Department in Tennessee
about a month to rule that the use of force by their colleagues
in the video below, including multiple punches while the suspect
was already restrained, was not excessive:

Typical police work?

Lawyers for the man in the video say they may sue, so the police
department says it can’t discuss the matter further.
