Al O’Leary is trying to blur the line between police brutality on the one hand and the legitimate use of force on the other. Whoever was interviewing him should’ve called him on that right then and there.

Interesting about the cop suicide. That is extremely common. According to the NIJ cops kill themselves at a rate around 3 times that of on the job deaths. Amazing considering all the hero worship bestowed upon them by the MSM and public.

I find it interesting that the officer committed suicide after the video was posted, as opposed to after vocalizing an order that got some one killed.

Without the YouTube video he would not have had his piece and shield taken away. The question to be answered is: Was the suicide a result of the ordered tasering or being demoted because of a YouTube video?

@ AP Story: Better late to the party than not at all.

@ Officer Suicide: I doubt the guy meant to kill him. Careless/Reckless/Without Regard, sure. Had there been no public exposure or subsequent demotion, the officer probably would have received some support from fellow officers and been able to deal with the fact that he killed someone.
Assuming the dept. offered him no mental health services before or after the demotion, it isn’t hard to see how the entire incident would have been too hard for someone to take.

It’s possible that somebody may dishonestly use a camera to lie — cut the footage that might explain the police actions, or removing/garbling exonerating audio, etc. The answer to this is not banning cameras, but encouraging them. The more recordings, by bystanders and by police, the better.

On a side issue, police brutality is bad enough, but how stupid must a cop be to have his brutality immortalized on a *police* dashboard camera?

Freddy, they did in fact pass entrance exams. So…yeah. Implementing higher standards might not be a bad thing.

Any coverage on this issue is positive, the videos speak for themselves and they just caused a few thousand people to check youtube for the content. Tyranny hates the light of day.

I’m think’n the guy was just emotionally unstable and could not handle the mega-disapproval.

What exactly did that cop think was going to happen when he tazed the guy on the second floor? As far as the cop committing suicide after losing his gun and badge, I really hope that the dimwit Detective that I’ve been writing about doesn’t go that far…

I scanning something else about this on an additional blog. Interesting. Your linear perspective on it is diametrically contradicted to what I examine very first place. I am nevertheless mulling over the various points of view, but I’m leaning to a great toward yours. And regardless, that is is so super regarding advanced democracy and the actual marketplace of ideas online.
