No, cops have a fraternity, they protect each other when they are doing wrong.

Do you get it yet?
There is no difference, hating a group for a handful is what it is.

This is what happens when you run, get no sympathy from me.

And while that argument works fine on a 100 pound girl who's only dangerous behind the wheel of a car it falls flat on it's face with real criminals

Like when a drunken idiot (PA state cop)was shooting walnuts off the top of fenceposts inside of a borough, occupied homes in the line of fire. Should he have been arrested? Was he? Of course not.
How about cops driving away from a party totally drunk. A partygoer asks.... Should you be driving? Cops answer..... Who's gonna arrest me? (he is a close relative of mine)
I have way too many of those unhappy memories.

Too bad that he wasn't dealing with a real criminal, eh?
I suppose he could have handled that situation better.

Right, because a lot of rapes happen in police substations…
BTW…
I love how they have to include the persons age and weight, like that has some bearing on the officers actions. In reality it’s nothing more then a play for sympathy, to play on the readers emotions. 98lbs-400lbs, 20yo-75yo, you run from the cops in Florida, your going to either get a chemical bath or tazered. This is not an option, its part of Florida rules (use of force matrix) for taking a resisting person into custody.As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

I found another source for this info here.
slumz.boxden.com...
The video shows Maudsley fleeing a back door of the substation with Cole following closely behind.
Maudsley was arrested for her alleged involvement in two hit-and-run crashes and driving without a license.
Cole brought Maudsley to the substation to complete his paperwork before taking her to the Pinellas County Jail, according to FHP reports.
As she enters the parking lot, Cole deploys his taser and Maudsley hits the ground hard, with her head slamming into the asphalt.
"What were you thinking? What are you, stupid?," Cole can be heard asking Maudsley on the video.
"I can't get up," said Maudsley.
"I don't want you to get up," said Cole.
"I can't get up," Maudsley said again. The last words Maudsley has spoken since being tasered.
On the video, Maudsley loses consciousness about two minutes after hitting her head.
Maudsley's mother said the trooper should have used other means to stop her daughter from fleeing.
.. Its all her fault.

Yes, and summary execution is the answer, I suppose.
Screw the constitution, no trial for you.
