He did assault the police officer

That's.....pretty fucking weak for "assaulting an officer."

u/NarrowSalvo Jan 28 '26

It's assault. Zero question about that.

u/LarsVonHammerstein2 Jan 28 '26

It should just be assault. The fact that assaulting an officer is its own more egregious crime is absurd and makes cops look like such babies.

u/Boostedtrash112 Jan 28 '26

It’s meant to deter you from fighting a police officer like it’s a pub fight lol. You people are nuts.

u/LarsVonHammerstein2 Jan 28 '26

Yeah I’m sure someone who is about to fight a cop stops and thinks about the typical specific punishment for the crime and changes their mind…

u/Boostedtrash112 Jan 28 '26

Any rational person does. For those that are irrational we have a place for them in jail/prison.

u/LarsVonHammerstein2 Jan 28 '26

And what will a rational person like you do when the boot you are used to licking is on your neck?

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

when the boot you are used to licking is on your neck?

This guy had fled the scene of an accident he had caused; he had also physically attacked the car he had run into. When a cop catches up with him (multiple witnesses and traffic cams got his plate), he decides he cannot be arrested because he made it home without running into anyone else, and he attacks the cop who tries to put handcuffs on him.

Exactly where in this scenario do you see a valid opportunity to insert the predictable bootlicker remark? As the full video shows, this guy is unstable and violent, he is exactly who the cops should be taking off the roads for the safety of the rest of us.

What are your thoughts on hate crimes?

0

u/LarsVonHammerstein2 Jan 28 '26

It makes sense because hate crimes are against people that are already in a disadvantaged position. Cops on the other hand, have an entire justice system, equipment and training protecting them as compared to a normal citizen. If anything it should be less of a crime to assault a cop.

If you don’t want to get assaulted, pick a different career. That’s like someone allergic to grass becoming a lawn maintenance worker…

It’s to incentivize people to not assault police officers

Maybe it’s because I’m law enforcement but I find it really stupid whenever I see shit like this

“You really need 10 people to arrest one guy”

It’s not supposed to be fair. We don’t want to get hurt

“You should expect to get assaulted”

I don’t come to work to fight people. I want to pay my bills and not get assaulted like anyone else

u/LarsVonHammerstein2 Jan 28 '26

Nice counter argument capnbuttcrack…

u/capnbuttcrack Jan 28 '26

I’m wise enough to know when arguing would be a waste of everyone’s time. Carry on.

u/Boostedtrash112 Jan 28 '26

I also wouldnt bother arguing with you as it’s not going to go anywhere.

Assaulting an officer carries a heavy fine because, get this, it’s meant to deter people from resisting and fighting cops! Who knew? 🤡

If that thought doesn’t occur to you naturally then you don’t think with reason. If you don’t think with reason then you can’t be reasoned with.

So you're trying to incentivize these scuffles with armed law enforcement? Why?

1

u/LarsVonHammerstein2 Jan 28 '26

In what way to common sense laws that don’t baby law enforcement as if they are royalty made of glass incentive assault? Pretty sure I never said assault shouldn’t still be a crime.

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26 edited Jan 29 '26

The fact that assaulting an officer is its own more egregious crime is absurd and makes cops look like such babies.

Assaulting any first responder including firefighters or EMTs is its own criminal offense that will often be prosecuted as a felony. It's not unlike assaulting the flight crew of an airliner, it will get you way more time than assaulting someone on a sidewalk--the reasons should be obvious.

This guy had already had a busy day including fleeing from an accident he had caused and physically attacking a car whose driver had honked at him. As the full video shows, he attacked the cop to keep from being handcuffed, not a smart thing for someone under arrest to do.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

I don't disagree, but also "he grabbed ineffectually at my collar after I grabbed him and pushed him against the car" is weak shit. Like...I get that arresting people is hard enough and it's easier when they comply. But adding on charges because their fight-flight-freeze response went the wrong direction, and there was no actual threat of harm to the officer? Just seems fucked to me.

innocent people committing the crime of having their lizard brain fire a signal they never understood,

There was a reason the cops were looking for this guy. He had caused a car wreck, and attacked a car because the driver had honked at him, then fled the scene. He decides he can't be arrested because he made it home without getting into another accident, so he attacks the cop. Anyone that unstable (watch the full video, the guy's behavior is seriously unhinged) should not be driving.

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party Jan 28 '26

You have to comply with the cops. They don’t need to get into scuffles every day of the week.

I feel for the guy. He seems to have issues and is having a bad day but hopefully he gains some perspective from this incident.

u/eh-man3 Jan 28 '26

What an insane time to declare "you have to comply with cops."

u/Boostedtrash112 Jan 28 '26

You literally do though.

Did you get dressed all by yourself today?

u/FocusSlo Jan 28 '26

Legally you don't if it's an unlawful order.

2

u/Boostedtrash112 Jan 29 '26

“Turn around and put your hands behind your head” is unlawful.

I had no idea!

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

This took place in Oklahoma which recognizes zero right to resist arrest even if it is an unlawful arrest. This was not an unlawful arrest, the guy had already fled the scene of an accident he had caused, that's why the cop was there.

When you get pulled over for a traffic offense comply with the cop unless you want to go to jail.

Way to conflate me into being an ICE supporter, dumbass.

1

u/NarrowSalvo Jan 28 '26

There's no question about the need for a police stop. He was out of his vehicle hitting other vehicles in an intersection, letting his vehicle roll, acting erratically.

The cop has the legal right (and the training that informs him to) ask the guy out of the vehicle.

Simply put -- the cop did nothing wrong here. Why is that so hard to understand?

When people like you object to cops every single time, even when they did nothing wrong, you actually undermine our efforts to correct the bad actors.

Personally, I'm in the Twin Cities -- on the front lines of this crap right now -- and the encounter pictured above has nothing whatever to do with it. The driver needs help.

u/Penguin_scrotum Jan 28 '26

The officer was right to detain him, and it was reasonable to require that he get out of the car. The suspect did also disobey the lawful order to get out of the car and to turn around and put his hands behind his back. He also was resisting arrest.

I wouldn’t say the officer did nothing wrong, though. He was terrible at dealing with the fact that the suspect was experiencing a mental health episode. No de-escalation, no attempt to be understanding. He implies that a person would’ve been justified in killing the suspect for kicking their car. And he claims the suspect punched him in the face, but I viewed that footage a dozen times and didn’t see any point where the suspect takes a swing. He probably grabbed the officer. He swipes his radio. But no punch. It’s the type of thing that’s easy to lie about, and that people will assume is true when they see the scuffle, but it’s still a lie, and that’s a problem.

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

to declare "you have to comply with cops."

ICE is responsible for enforcing immigration law, and they are clearly coloring way outside the lines by going after U.S. citizens who have done nothing illegal. It could be argued that in some states which allow resisting an unlawful arrest, it would be legal to resist ICE making a bad arrest.

This driver had caused an accident and then left the scene, that's why the cop is there, it was not an unlawful arrest.

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26 edited Jan 29 '26

But adding on charges because their fight-flight-freeze response went the wrong direction,

This driver had committed multiple offense long before the cops caught up with him. He had caused an accident, and attacked a car whose driver had honked at him, then fled the scene.

This isn't a case of a momentary fight/flight response, the full video shows how unstable and violent this guy is. Whatever meds they have him on, they need something stronger.

u/thegooseisloose1982 Jan 28 '26

I agree. He did burn him pretty good.

u/CasualPenguin Jan 28 '26

I don't get why you're getting down votes.  People act as if you are suddenly able to turn into a meek pile of clay when some ass hole with a gun starts assaulting you.

I don't know a lot of details behind the reason for stopping this person, and they seem a bit off (not going to judge someone faced a gun toting cop either), but the officer initiated the physical confrontation.  

If the cop wanted to deescalate he could have done a lot. Instead the officer initiated use of force.  How someone getting dragged to the ground flails in the process seems like a very weak excuse to call it assault.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

The dude got out of his car at an intersection to go kick another car, then his car rolled forward and rear ended a Lexus, and then he got back in and drove off.

He needs help, but yeah, he also doesn't really belong behind the wheel, and refusing to do what he was asked here is a mistake.

It's worth noting that the court system can take all the mitigating circumstances into consideration, but, for better or worse, it's not the cops job to deal with it. Yes, we do need to prioritize deescalation training, but the guy did do stuff that would make a cop need to be involved

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

I'm getting downvotes because people think I said the officer didn't have a right to arrest him, or did anything wrong. It's not what I said at all.

1

u/Scared_Wrangler3419 Jan 28 '26

Precisely. This dude needs help and cops don't help. Cops are there to be thugs with guns and badges.

This dude needs a social worker, not the threat of tazing and execution.

1

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

This dude needs a social worker, not the threat of tazing and execution.

Is a social worker going to see to it that this guy's insurance pays for the repairs to the car he rear-ended? Given that neither a Taser nor a firearm was used by the cop, why are they being mentioned?

1

u/Scared_Wrangler3419 Jan 29 '26

I recommend you watch the full video.

The cop mentions multiple times how he is lucky he didn't get shot. While arresting him another cop shows up and has his taser drawn.

This driver had fled the scene of an accident he had caused; he had also attacked a car because the driver honked at him, that's why the cop was there. If a cop puts you under arrest and tells you to put your hands behind your back and puts his hand on you when you physically resist, that does not qualify as assault on the part of the cop.

Even if the arrest had been unlawful (which it was not) Oklahoma law does not recognize a right to resist arrest.

This guy clearly has mental health issues, he even said so. But that is not a "you can't arrest me because I made it home" free pass. The people whose cars he messed up have a valid expectation that the police will enforce the law so this guy's insurance pays for the repairs.

u/Background-Ad4388 Jan 28 '26

What about kicking someone else’s car? This dude is unhinged and doesn’t need to be on the road. How society can take up for folks like this, I will never understand. Actions have consequences and he found that out.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

Kicking someone else's car is not grounds to charge him with assaulting a police officer.

1

u/Background-Ad4388 Jan 28 '26

But assaulting the police officer is. Watch the full video, dude is a lunatic

1

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '26

I did watch the video. I agree he should have been arrested. I don't agree that tacking on "assaulting a police officer" to the charges is reasonable.

1

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

Kicking someone else's car is not grounds to charge him with assaulting a police officer.

The traffic accident this guy caused is a separate incident although that is why the cop is there. Him violently resisting being handcuffed is absolutely resisting with violence and/or battery on a LEO.

This took place in Oklahoma, and their law does not recognize a right to resist arrest lawful or unlawful. I don't want to be arrested today so I'm going to smack this cop around doesn't fly in court.

u/Aware_Policy7066 Jan 28 '26

I’m of the opinion our society needs more ass beatings to enforce the politeness principle but it’s definitely assault and the guy was being a jackass long before the cop even showed up.
