[QUOTE]Originally posted by 444_C.I.D.: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by That_Guy: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by N8: [qb] Cop will lose his job, guy will get paid. [/qb][/QUOTE]I do not believe this officer will lose his job. I think he used the proper and necessary force to overcome resistance and a review of this indecent from internal affairs will clear him of any wrong doing... He identified himself, took control of the scene and escorted a clearly unstable individual away from an agitated crowd that could have easily interfered or provoked a more serious situation while attempting to take the man into custody. The window breaking was clearly not intentional and just a freak accident. Of course it looks bad, but that is not the fault of the officer. As someone else said you can see the suspect's hand hit the glass before any other body part of the suspect. To me that is a clear indication the suspect is still resisting and bracing himself against the officer. Also as mentioned, both the officer and suspect were injured. The suspect's injuries included a few cuts. The officer required stitches and had a concussion. I highly doubt this officer would put himself in situation where he may be severely injured or even killed. Remember the goal of any law enforcement officer is to make it home safely to their families at EOW. Furthermore, People are to quick to judge and are hypersensitive... This was a no win situation for the officer, who was just doing his job. It would not have mattered what force he used. His decision making would still be second guess and maybe more so if he used other means of force such as OC, taser or baton. Hindsight is always 20/20 and there is always something that could have been done different or maybe even better. The man and his family will get some type of settlement only because it is cheaper for BART and the taxpaying citizens to settle out of court than litigate in a courtroom.
