Birmingham Police Officers Fired After Beating
- Text size
The New York Times
May 20, 2009
Five police officers in Birmingham, Ala., were fired on Wednesday after a video became public that shows them beating and kicking an apparently unconscious suspect in 2008 after a highway chase.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The video, filmed on Jan. 23, 2008, by a police patrol car camera, showed officers chasing a suspect, Anthony Warren, who lost control of his van and was ejected from a window in the crash. After the officers raced toward Mr. Warren, motionless on the roadside, they could be seen punching, kicking and beating him with a billy club.
The video was released by the city on Wednesday after the district attorney’s office discovered it in March. Prosecutors for the district attorney, Brandon Falls, of Jefferson County, found the tape while preparing their case against Mr. Warren, who later received a 20-year sentence for first degree assault for hitting an officer with his van during the chase.

If you had read the article through to the end you see that this idiot actually did hit a KKKop
with his vehicle and is now serving a 20 year sentence for vehicular assault. It is actually visible in the video at the point where the cop throws out the spike strip just before the van goes
out of control.
THAT BEING SAID…TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT!!! THE COPS WHO BEAT THIS IDIOT DID DESERVE TO LOOSE THEIR JOBS AND MAYBE SHOULD FACE CRIMINAL ASSAULT CHARGES THEMSELVES.

Did a liitle research appears that the guy has been convicted of various felonies in the past. Guess that’s why he ran from the cops causing a 22 minute chase(endangering everyone in his path!). Who does he think he is? Looks to me the only thing that went wrong is that he got ejected out the wrong side. Now we have to pay for this dummy to sit in jail.
Oh yeah, the cops should have been fired. STUPID!!

Mr. Wilson,
These men are not empowered to take the law into their own hands, nor are they given authority to act above it. Further, they are trained to leave their emotions out of the equation, or at the least to check them so that they do not respond like animals in heat to provocation.
These men violated the rules of engagement by beating, kicking, and punching a man, who though clearly in violation the law himself, was defenseless before their assault.
He will have his day in court, and with proper evidence, be found guilty of the crimes of which he was accused. However, that does not excuse these police who responded like a pack of wild jackals ganging up on an already beaten sheep.

It’s idiots like you why 75% of the decent people in this country are fed up. 75% of the
world hates us? Where did you come up with that bullshit (CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, the
DNC). Get a clue dude, most people in this world that resent us, do so because of our
freedoms and prosperity. Not because some law breaker occasionally gets his ass kicked by some overzealous cops. There are reasons why people commit crimes? No
shit sherlock, it’s because they believe it beats working for a living, and they have no
concious. Why don’t you stop whining about how bad you have it, and take some responsibility to make something of yourself, rather than criticize the “spoiled” who are supporting your ass! By the way I do agree the cops were wrong.

All of you saying that he deserved it because he tried to run over a cop should understand that the cops often position themselves in a vehicles path because it justifies deadly force if they are nearly hit .This cop simply misjudged his ability to move.Chases are documented to be one of the most emotionally charged events for policemen and they more often than not do not think clearly during them and actually endanger far more lives than they protect. The horrible thing about this is that it took so long to come out and if it hadn’t the cops would still be on the job.They tried to ensure that this guy died from his injuries.Man I don’t know what this country is headed to!

“just saying” is absolutely correct. Who steps in front of vehicle doing 50+ miles an hour unless they are juiced up on chemicals. They could be body chemicals. After all, a good chase is better then a pot of coffee or a snort of cocaine. Can anyone doubt these guys were out of control.

Just Saying- Ditto.
To that I add: the only reason they were fired, from my own personal observations with the local PD, is because they were caught on tape and exposed to the public. Had this not been the case, they would likely have been promoted and handed brass badges. Why?
Because it’s easy to control (and blackmail) an officer with a dirty little secret.

I d have to agree with Just saying!
I came up on a cop running radar, i was speeding 77 / 55
4 lane highway.
The cop jumps in front of my car!
I swerved to avoid running him over!
Almost hitting the car next to me and then the barrier!
I stopped and was then charged with reckless endangerment!
Well did he need to jump in front of me ! NO
he could of pursued me and stopped me the correct way!
But was his action the one that endangered not 1 but 3 lives!
So yeah they do more harm then good that’s for sure

Yup Jerry, you’ll be saying that when a cop pulls you over for no cause, then wants to search your car and then when you say no, he drags you out of your car and beats your ass “off camera” because you didn’t obey him. Or maybe you looked at him the wrong way. The police are given power over ordinary citizens and with that power comes responsibility. These cops are scared little boys, not men. And yes, I’m glad the perp is in the can for hitting that cop, that is not right.

Hanging is too good for them.
I don’t know where all the morons (up above) come from who believe it is ok for a cop to beat down anyone. The guy is still “innocent until proven guilty”. The proof of guilt is up to a jury of your peers, in this case, his peers. Not the police, not you, not me. That is what actual LAW is for.
It looked like the Attack of the Killer Doughnut Patrol to me.

When will people realize that if the criminal has no rights then you the law abiding citizen have no rights.Yes the guy was wrong. Yes he should be tried in a court of law and the law upheld. But no the police officers shouldn’t be the one’s being judge jury and exocutioner. You should really stop tryin to think with emotion and start thinkin logicaly. If you take away one person’s rights you set the precedent for all rights to be taken away.. I.e Patriot Act… This isn’t the ldeal world but someone has to uphold the rights.. That’s what a Police officer’s job is..Protect and serve~

Look people… This dumbass man led police on a chase where he rammed a cruiser and tried to kill an officer with his mini van. Not to mention the hundereds of lives that were at risk on the interstate and surface streets. That in it’s self justifies the officers’ actions in my opinion. Sure he wasn’t moving… Probably unconcious… Who cares? Didn’t you tools watch the same video as me? Do you really not see the REAL issue here??? I think he’s lucky they didn’t shoot his dumb ass. Had they done that, I’d still take their side on this one. Tell me any of you wouldn’t have done the same? If you say you wouldn’t… You’re a Goddamn liar!!! That punk got away with his life after that stupid shit he did. He should be happy!!! After he swerved at that officer they should have opened up on him with LETHAL force! I’m not a big fan of law enforcement people. (I’ve been arrested a time or two…) But I don’t think they deserved to be fired. Personally, I hope that Mr. Anthony Warren has some big fat ARYAN cell mate nammed Bubba turnin his punk ass out to all the amigos!!! Fuck you Anthony Warren! I hope your asshole hurts for a year after you get out! Fuck anyone else who thinks these cops should not get their jobs back! You’re worthless… You have missed the REAL issue here. You’re not worthy to be breathing the same air as me! I hope you all die in a high speed police chase like Anthony Warren’s… I bet you’d feel a bit different then huh?

Gun Owner,
I understand your frustration with this criminal. He deserves every minute of that sentence that he got. However, we have a “justice system” that deals with criminals. Now you might dismiss what I am saying but remember, excusing this type of behavior from a police officer can and will only make it worse. We can not give public servants an inch because as you know, they always go for the mile. The proper thing to do would have been to give him a quick pat down, just in case he had anything, leave him be and call an ambulance. You don’t really believe that cops should pass judgment on the people in the street without a proper hearing do you? Now, you are obviously a gun owner, you know that government takes a mile when given an inch. We have LAWS! This criminal broke them and then the cops did too. It doesn’t matter who broke them first!!!!! btw, I like the air I breath, you can keep yours. : ) They were wrong!

the cop, that is unnecessary,(of course i’m sure there are other felonies he has) i don’t know
what everyone is bickering about.
Martin Reply:
May 24th, 2009 at 12:40 am
Thanks for the reply jackie. I guess I don’t know what other felonies this guy commited but I don’t disagree with tough sentencing of people with disregard to life. This guy almost killed a police officer and certainly injured him. I guess in all honesty though I would need to know what the full story was. For all we know, he was probably runniing from them because he took his kid back form CPS. Or perhaps he did something that was seriously wrong. Either way, the officers should get just as long a sentence for disregard to life. Perhaps even longer because they should be an example of what a citizen should be.

There was absolutely NO justification for these Cops to do what they did. Yes, they were all amped-up because “one of their own” had been hit by the driver, but that’s NO excuse for beating and unconscious man like that. If you or I were all “amped-up” because someone had just injured a member of our family is a traffic accident and that person was unconscious because of the wreck…would we not be thrown in jail and prosecuted to the fullest extent if we had jumped on the person and beat them that severely??? Hell yes we would, and just because these clowns are Cops doesn’t mean they should be treated any differently.
I worked as an EMT on a rescue rig and in a major city hospital ER and was spit at, punched, kicked, scratched, choked, etc. and what would have happened to me if I had lost my professional bearing and struck back at the high on drugs or drunk person that had assaulted me or one of my co-workers??? Obviously, doing so would have meant the end of my career and I would have been criminally prosecuted.
Machew Reply:
May 21st, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Wow indeed….
If there is one good thing about this video it’s that it shows a large group of cops participating while not one of them is trying to stop the beating. This in my view shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that their is a violent mindset among our police. Most videos of police brutality are one single officer behaving in this manner. This video shows that CHANGES MUST BE MADE IN THE HIRING AND TRAINING OF POLICE.

If cops really care about making sure the criminal is punished appropriately, they would not do this. When they do this, the criminals get out of their punishment.

OK peaople. Im all about officers using necessary force to ensure a suspect complies with law enforcement. But in this case, the suspect is not concious. So being a resident of Birmingham, AL I just want to be on record saying thanks to our police department for the millions we will all have to pay for since this man will most likely sue and win or get a settlement. With that kind of mentatlity I could work for 20 years and be broke or I could go steal a candy bar or something and run from the cops, get my ass beaten, get out of jail in 7 to 8 years on good behavior and be a millionaire. I think there might be something to that. Hmm.

Hey I’m from Decatur…around an hour and a half north of you.
My comment is that I counted the seconds after the van driver ran over the cop and I counted 25 seconds. Those cops only had 25 seconds to reign in their emotions on a very hot chase that has lasted around 50 miles (probably around 30 minutes). The cops probably thought the cop that got hit was probably dead. What would most folks do? That’s a tough situation to be in. I know it sucks for the taxpayers but it sucks also to watch a friend get ran over by a guy who proabably hasn’t worked a day in his life. I’d be tempted to kick the suspects head off of his shoulder and I’d definetly want beat the cop that positioned his camera toward the suspect.

I say you are right. It is a tough situation to be in. BUT. Alls Im saying is that if this happened every day our city would be bankrupt from lawsuits. As if its not already. I aslo say that if your job is to wear a firearm and a bullet proof vest that you shouldnt get so emotional when something like this happens. Its your job. I dont pay my taxes so police can beat unconcious suspects. And if I was that officer that was hit, I would want that suspect to go to jail for the maximum amount of time. I would hate for the suspect to have a reduced sentence or a big settlement due to these officers actions. On top of that, the suspect was not even aware of the beating. So any leasons the suspect was supposed to learn werent. Mob justice is just that. If the police want to act in this manner, what do I need them for? At the end of the day what do we have? 5 police out of work at the very least on unemployment, paying for the convict to live for free for the next 20 years, and a lawsuit for millions, and also the cost of training new police officers to replace the ones that have been fired. So because 5 officers wanted to loose their cool and beat someone we the tax payers will have to foot the bills most likely in the millions. Way to go. Remain professional. Thats all that needs to happen. Everyone knows that those cops had it in their head to beat that guy when they got out of the car. I believe it to be the standard response. They just didnt expect the guy to be unconcious.

Cops abusing their power and beating innocent people or using excessive force based on things such as race should be locked up and the key thrown away..These cops deserve to be fired yes, but just based on protocol…they shouldnt be fined or have jail time…

Regardless of what happend. The police know the rules of engagment. In the Military there are no excuses for breaking protocol it serves a court martial. If we the people allow the police to think they can get away with beating people because they feel justified then we are in a lot of trouble.

The “suspect” got twenty years for “hitting” a conscious cop once with his car. That was more a graze than a hit, and the cop was awake so he could dodge the threat. Then the pack of cops hit him squarely, didn’t graze with batons, kicks and punches, they struck squarely at an unconscious man. He was not able to dodge the attacks, and they were repeated, whereas his grazing “hit” at a cop happened only once. Five of these officers were fired.
If the “suspect” deserves 20 years for a single potentially deadly blow at an able person, how many years should the cops get for multiple, potentially lethal blows at a defenseless victim, already wounded in the car wreck? I watched the whole, nearly 7 minutes clip about this on the AlexJonesChannel. At the very end, they reveal that the “suspect” learned about the assault at his reckless driving trial months after it happened. He assumed all his wounds proceeded from the car wreck; he (and many officials) had been kept unaware of his victimization! Looks like cops’ attacks, whether physical or moral, are mainly launched only at unaware people. Who are the real “suspects” here?

Captain Trips Reply:
May 20th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Whatever Chris,
The police endangered the public by creating the chase in the first place. The officer didn’t make a sacrifice he made a stupid decision. He put himself in front of a speeding vehicle that he knew wasn’t going to stop and couldn’t stop in time if he did get int the way. The police often jump in front of moving vehicles in order to accuse the driver attempted murder. No one pushed that cop in front of the vehicle, it was his decision.
Besides, your justifying the actions of the police in reverse order. No beating was required or necessary, nor was a high speed chase worth the outcome. You don’t escalate a situation in order to show who has the power. The police are willing to put the lives of the public in mortal danger in order to establish their power. That is totally foolish and unwise.
No, I’m not sick, I’m just not letting my emotions rule my intellect. You’re acting like that officer is some kind of hero for almost getting himself killed! Just like people portray John McCain as being some sort of war hero for getting shot down during Viet Nam! The whole purpose of flying a fighter jet in war is to NOT get shot down! Getting shot down doesn’t make you a hero, it makes you someone who got shot down.
As for “Protect and Serve” When was the last time the police gave a rat’s ass about protecting or serving the people?

The Captain is on the money.
I am an ex cop who joined the force to protect and serve while being respectful and not letting my emotions take over which is hard but every cop is trained on these ideals or use to be.
nothing more, nothing less.
More and more of our police have gone rogue or more and more ignorant thugs are being hired.
I know all the tricks that use to be utilized by a bad few and now being used by a bad many.
A good, well trained, respectful officer, no matter how heated, or how bad he thought the so called criminal was, would have never beat an unconcious man.
They should be charged for that, and all good cops would agree.
Anything more, well….refer to Captain trip on this subject, he is right.
Think with logic, not emotion- this is/was constantly drilled in new officers heads to keep them from crossing the line, those officers crossed the line.
You want to know about mechanics, ask a mechanic.
You want to know about proper Law Enforcement, ask a good cop,
and don’t say “there are no good cops”,
incase you didn’t know, they are the ones fighting on the inside against the bad ones.
If there were no good cops, you would see alot worse than this.

Raven,
Thanks for being honest. I agree, without good cops things would be much much worse. I think they are rooting out good officers and doing everything in their power to get rid of them. A good officer can bring a bad cop or future bad cop back to light. An older, proven an decorated officer holds weight with the young guys. If they know you’ve been “in the shyte” so to speak, they’ll take the time to listen and learn from real experience.
I don’t hate the police, though they do make me nervous and I stay on my guard when they are near. I’ve met great police officers who performed their duty in perfect harmony with the Constitution. This kinds of officers don’t look at their job in terms of black and white, they know how to let something go for the greater good, whether for the country or for the individual that may have broken some minor law or statute.
The last thing you will here come from a good officer’s mouth is “I’m only doing my job” or “It’s the law”, those statements are used to justify foolish behavior. Either believe in what you are doing and take responsibility or shut up about it. People who are in the wrong automatically have to justify their actions.
May 20th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Those officers got what they deserved because that’s just damn ridiculous. You can argue that he should have pulled over, however, I say cops are just as responsible for endangering the road ways. They should not engage in high chase persuits because it can lead to a fatality. They are supposed to serve and protect the public and these actions contradict that. Officers have been given power to up hold law and order, and not to be an unruly sort. OR SHOULD I SAY SNORT!!

I can’t say I would do any differently. He almost killed that officer who tried to throw the spikes. It makes me uneasy to see this, but I can’t honestly say this idiot deserved better.
The same thing would’ve happened 50 years ago. Having said that – these officers should handle themselves in a more professional manner. Giving them the power to do what they did to that man under those circumstances could very easily carry over to you just standing on the side of the road…”Get him!!”.
In that context, I understand some of the comments on this page.

This is the Police State, it is here, Albeit not in full force yet! But when a man gets his head stomped on by police AFTER surrendering, a 14yr. old gets choked into unconciousness, a woman gets PUSHED down a flight of stairs, and so on.

People,
stop using the “he almost killed that officer” excuse.
Yes the guy was engaging in criminal behavior by eluding the police,
the idiot crashed, was caught and is serving time.
The officer who threw down the spikes decided to put himself in harms way,
he made a judgement that could have killed him just like those that have made a dangerous judgement to run across train tracks while the train is coming,
some make it, some don’t.
It is very hard to determine rate of speed and time during high speed situations but some of you are trying to justify, even in a little way that the cops were right to attack him while he was laying lifeless because “the big bad criminal in a pure animal blood lust singled out that poor officer, chased him down and tryed to turn him into pulp with his van”.

“They were trying to keep this guy from killing some”
By chasing him at high speeds in what looks to be pretty heavy traffic? In my mind, causing a criminal to drive fast in heavy traffic when you could just as easily pursue him with a helicopter is FAR from trying to keep him from killing someone.

Second, if the cops just let everyone, take off and speed away, no one would stop. Your idea for using helicopters to chase everyone is something a 4th grader would say. I can see you bitching now, when your local police department says they need 10 helicopters to chase speeders.
Plus, the retard in the minivan was from New Orleans, the cops around that area don’t even deal with shit like that everyday. It’s Birmingham, not fucking WATTS.

Did you hear yourself Mac? Chasing someone for a speeding ticket? I’ve been to Birmingham and it might not be the worst by any means but serious crime does happen there. And using a helicopter is not a bad idea. Most of the country is nothing like L.A. where numerous police chases are going on concurrently every day.
I agree that you can’t just let everyone drive away, then there would be no respect for law and order but at the same time these chases endanger the public as much as or more than an actual gun fight!

All of you who think the cops were right to beat the driver line up on the right. We are going to have a little demonstration in Civics. I hav a gun and a cheap tin badge from the 5 & dime, so call me a cop. Now I’m going to KICK ALL OF YOUR ASSES! Why? Well, YOU SAID IT’S ok FOR THE COPS TO KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU PISS THEM OFF! And you all have sure pissed me off with your blatant stupidity. I’ll write real loud & slow now so you might understand.
IF IT’S OK FOR THE COPS TO GET PISSED OFF AND BEAT THIS UNCONSIOUS MAN FOR ANY REASON THEN IT’S OK FOR THEM TO DO IT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. ARE YOU REALLY SO STUPID AS TO GO AND GIVE YOUR PERMISSION FOR THEM TO KICK YOUR MOTHER’S ASS? WELL YOUR COMMENTS JUST DID! FOR A GROUP THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY ‘AWAKE’ THERE ARE A HUGE NUMBER THAT ARE ALL TOO WILLING TO SUPPORT THE FACIST JACKBOOTED THUGS.

I’m more concerned with the stupidity of the police officer who ran across the busy highway to throw down the tyre trap. He could have been hit by anyone or caused a pile up and multiple fatalities. Sure the beating was severe and unwarranted but couple that with the dangerous behavior of the first officer and what you have is an all round inadequate policing of the situation.
I think the police force involved need to rethink their procedure for dealing with this situation. Currently the protocol seems to involve endangering both civilians and police officers with these rodeo tactics. It is far from good enough and results in fiascos such as we have seen here. Five highly agitated under trained goons making a mockery of all the decent police who seek to protect society from genuine danger.

I wish I had a way to post a pic. I have a picture of a cop in a BATF uniform on a firing range. He doesn’t have his hearing protectors on, so he has a finger in one ear and his Glock stuffed in the other, with his finger on the trigger.
Too bad the other cop firing his weapon didn’t make him flinch.

Law enforcement hates humans as much as the NWO. When martial law is here they will have a field day beating and killing as many as they can, and “The8Man” will obey.
May 20th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I hate the cops for the most part these days, they are mostly corrupt bullies, but in this case I have to agree that that guy deserved a beating. He was using the van as a weapon and deserved death. He ran a guy down and kept going, once he did that its like he blasted a man in the face with a shotgun. For all he knew he crushed the guy he ran over. He didn’t care, he kept going, didn’t even slow down. Scumbag deserves death. We can’t be hypocrites and hate cops just to hate cops, they serve a real function, to get rid of scum like this guy.

Everybody is getting upset about how he tried hitting the cop. It looks more like he swerved the spikes in the road, lost control and just so happens that the cop is standing in the middle of the road. Im sorry but that should be a learning experience for that department. Dont want to get hit? Dont stand in the road like that. I dont condone what the guy driving did or why he was running(in a minivan?-he should of just gave up). But I also dont condone what the officers did to him. There were a few officers there who held back. Maybe they remembered that there were cameras in basically all police cars these days. OR maybe they were more professional.

In the article that I read, the suspect was approached by a plainclothesed officer who didn,t declare himself to be in law enforcement. High speed chases are absurd anyway, they have killed many innocent people so that the state can collect a few hundred dollars!!

The suspect could have easily thought he was being car-jacked. Therefore he should receive no time in jail. If cops are chasing you, you have every reason to beleive that your life is in danger, and even killing the cops could be justified. We paid Randy Weaver $3.2million, and he killed US Marshalls. We need informed juries, and we need truth to be allowed in the courtrooms.

I know what everyone is saying about the cop almost being hit. Its his own dumbass fault that he was in the middle of the street. If he was smart he would have stood behind the car and threw the spike strip. If you stand in the way of on coming trafic, espically in front of a running suspect, your going to get hit. Beating a down man is wrong period. If he was fighting back sure hit back. The guy was out, and to have not 1, not 2, but 5 trained officers hitting a ko person come on. These guys should know better. If all they got was fired, they got off easy. As for the driver of the van he got 20 years for trying to run over the dumbass who stood in front of him, the driver got what he deserved.

EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING HE WAS WRONG FOR TRYING TO RUN THE COP OVER do u honestly think he tryed to run the cop over i highly doubt that from the looks of the video he was in a highspeed chase and was not in total control of his vehicle so i think he was avoiding the spikes and the cop thought it was INTELIGENT to step a few feet away from a speeding car to stop him NOT SUCH A GOOD IDEA EH??? i mean dont git me wrong good for them trying to protect the public BUT DAMN THAT HIGHWAY WAS CROWDED RIGHT???? ISNT THERE A POINT IN A CHASE WERE THEY SHOULD CALL IT OFF DUE TO PUBLIC SAFETY?????
May 20th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
The firing was proper, although probably at the recommendation of city attorneys in a desperate effort to lessen the civil judgment that you know is coming. Even a lowlife deserves not to have his skull cracked or ribs puncture a lung while fully unconscious. I’d hope the officers had been trained to recognize adrenaline-fueled rage and how to do the right thing as this is in no way a new phenomenon. Having the video is sooo crucial. Everybody needs front and rear dash cams in their car. I’m currently investigating getting them.

The police withheld the beating portion of the video from the prosecutor for over a year. Every cop and supervisor at the police station knew of this crime for over a year and tried to keep it buried. The truth got out by accident. this is routine all over the country there is no justice.

I watched the video five times. Warren ran over the cop’s foot in what definitely appears to be an attempt to run the cop over. Seconds later the perp is ejected. The cops show up on scene so wound up with adreniline that they don’t even notice that the perps not conscious. The cops just watched a co-worker almost get killed, and who knows how many other lives Warren endangered.
The terminated cops were the victims on this one, in my opinion.

If your a professional, you know how to deal with your adrenaline, as you are not a professional, your comment is pointless.

This criminal surely earned a beat down. But, hell, he couldn’t even fight back, He was down and out of it. Not that I condone violence by the police. But, if they would even consider this sort of action when a private citizen is endangered, then maybe I could say. OK. But these are pigs, protecting their herd. And only that. Fuckem. The guy was no longer a danger and he was not resisting arrest. He couldn’t! Maybe these pigs should have just tased the bro. A guy gives up and lays on the ground in California and does not resist. But he gets kicked in the head? What better message to send to patriots and common criminals alike, to resist, by all means resist and kill as many of these f(ckheads as you can?

First of all, that speeding van, if it had hit the spike strips would have been an uncontrollable weapon. Especially since there were other vehicles, with people in them a little further ahead. Tires with no rubber on them don’t brake well! The police here INTENTIONALLY put other people’s lives at risk, PERIOD! Second, the suspect, if he had a job he would have lost it upon incarceration, but there should be alot more than just 5 officers losing jobs on this case. I saw more then 5 officers in the video. Some were looker-ons not doing their job of LAW ENFORCEMENT, and that’s not just law enforcement on the public but also on their fellow “officers”. Third, this isn’t the first timer stopstrips have caused cops to get hit! Stop using the damn things, DUH! You run out onto a road with speeding vehicles and guess what’s probably gonna happen? Don’t these idiots think? As for the beating I’m almost at a loss for words. Brutally beating a man thrown from a vehicle and laying unconscious, antone heard of attempted murder? PERIOD! Charge them all. Let the jury decide! That’s their job. But if the jury never gets to hear the case then they already took the power from the people! There should be a public outcry for justice, the suspect already got his, now let the jury decide the cops fates!

“The driver was ejected from the van” = No seatbelt. He got what he deserved.
On the other hand… why do cops treat more harshly those who do not submit to their authority than they do to those who break the law?
Also, at the end of the clip I saw an officer in a different colored shirt (county, not city, or whatever) that seemed to be waving off the ejaculations of one of the birds of a feather cops so he could see if there was anyone else in the van.

May 21st, 2009 at 12:44 am
You will ALL be dead before this year is over. Every one of you. I have the information. Follow these instructions to the letter……
1) At the Colosseum in Rome, there is a hot dog vendor to the left of the main entrance who always wears a green shirt. The cart license number of his cart is key. The first three numbers on that plate are the street number.
Go to Switzerland. In the “shining city” on “shiny street” there is an internet cafe. Go to the third computer on the right hand side. Log onto your email USING THAT PRECISE COMPUTER, and reply to this post. Type exactly what you see in the letter, word for word to receive further instructions. If you have made it this far, you have passed the entrance exam. Follow the remaining instructions to begin your mission.
2) Go to 390 Broadway Street in NYC. On that building, there is a window on the 14th floor, 3rd one in from the left with a different brand of window casing than the rest of the windows on the building. The name of the window casing brand is the street name. The name is written on the outside. You will have to climb, repel, or act as a window washer to obtain it.
3) There is a restaurant in Minnesota called Dorothy’s. In the kitchen, inside the large freezer there is an old wooden milk crate. Under the milk crate, written in black marker is a saying. The second letter of every word in the saying form a word. That is the city.
4) After 1/2/3, go to the address you have found. In the backyard, in the tool shed, under the pile of deer pelts there is an old trunk. Underneath the trunk there is buried a time capsule, about 20 feet down. You will have to find a way to get it out.
5) DO NOT OPEN IT !!!! First, pry open the plate on the bottom of the container. Cut first the red wire, then the yellow wire. Attach one end of the red to the yellow. Do this for both wires. Then, cut the blue wire. You should hear 3 chirps. If you do not hear 3 chirps immediately after cutting the blue wire, run for your life, the container will explode, and all hope for humanity is lost. If you are successful, and you will be, there is still hope, so proceed with step 6.
6) Open the time capsule. Take anything of value, and there will be things of great value. Most importantly, open the small red box marked EOTW. In the box, there is a key with an address marked on it.
7) Take the key to the address in XXXXX. On the main floor, there is a tiny 1 bedroom unit where an old blind man awaits you. Knock on his wooden table two times, and say “I have heard about your wooden leg. Does it need replacing?”. Insert the key into the wooden leg and turn clockwise exactly 4 revolutions, then back 2 revolutions, then clockwise 3 revolutions. Open the compartment in the leg, and take the letter.

the dirtbag was in the wrong
the cop throwing the runstops was in the wrong
the cops jumping out the squad cars and beating an ejected dirtbag were in the wrong
the cop turning off the camera was really in the wrong cause we could have had more visual evidence on how a wonderful job they were doing protecting and serving their community
we have a few major failures on both ends.
the dirtbag ran when he should know that they will get him whether he wanted them to or not
in his attempt to escape he did become reckless and a danger to the public
if this was 1890 the dirtbag would have been shot and case closed
too bad it wasn’t 1890…

The fluoride and high fructose corn syrup made him think he was playing an X Box video game and that it was actually a Downs Syndrome kid on a bicycle coming at him. Maybe he was going to try to use his taser on the van. Who cares?

This is exactly the kind of things you morons need to understand.
It’s when we’re unpopular that we need our rights the most.
When everyone likes us we don’t need them, but when we commit a crime
or any other act is when we need them the most. This was not a man
making good decisions on this day, and yes he endangered a lot of people
and the cops. I won’t even go into the fact that they could have had him
without escalating this dangerous chase. However, there are protections there
for a reason. A group of men a lot smarter than you or I knew we needed
a due process to protect the innocent even if the expense was that some of the
guilty got away. It is not a cop’s job to punish anyone, period. It is a cop’s job
in this scenario to physically bring them in so due process can occur. This is
exactly the kind of justification people give when they snicker about prison rape
or the people being tortured by our government. It’s easy to point the finger
until the sights are on you, and you may simply be in the wrong place at the
wrong time, but you have no rights because they know you did it. This doesn’t work.
If you aren’t smart enough to understand this, then you deserve everything
that’s coming.

guess what patty… thats what the justice system is for, to punish criminals,the guy got 20 YEARS in jail not to mention parole and the fact that he will NEVER be able to get a job when he gets out because of a felony record.i’d say he payed with his life, and he gets to live it out in a hell we call prison, and he didn’t even take someones life. a cop in chicago killed 2 people in an auto accident because he was driving drunk and he got out on bail 2 days later? does that sum it up.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:25 am
He got tossed out the fucken car during a flip, that alone probably should have broken his neck. What the fuck is the cop thinking, If he would have been a smart cop and threw the spike strip form a “safer spot” it would have ended fine.
Dose this sound like a smart thing to do?
Throw spike strip in front of a speeding car while your standing in the middle of the road, Leaving your self barely anytime to get out of the way.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:47 am
We are held to a higher standard, we are not to judge, we are to use ONLY that amount of force required to make the arrest. Everyone here that says, “He deserved it, he was a law breaker” have not clue of the requirements to be a PUBLIC SERVANT, not a COUNTY/CITY EMPLOYEE!
We set the example, we take an oath to live our lives and conduct ourselves as EXAMPLES of good citizens, we are held to a higher standard of conduct because WE ARE NOT the common everyday person, we are servants of the public and protectors of the Bill of Rights/Constitution, PERIOD.
Termination of the deputies, GREAT! My question to everyone here is this, WHY did the video take ONE year to be shown to the public and why did it take one year to terminate the deputies????
Video gets released and then deputies get fired. One thing to keep in mind if you are in law enforcement, when YOU violate the law, your general orders, your department policy, YOU will be charged criminally and YOU WILL BE SUED CIVILALY AND YOU WILL LOSE!
May 21st, 2009 at 2:50 am
he tried to run and officer over and kill him!!!!
no he did not deserve to be hit while unconscious ill grant u that, but we need the death penality for scum like who try and run over police and endanger the lives of innocent people on the road
it would just be one less drug dealer driving around high in a stolen vehicle anyway
May 21st, 2009 at 3:01 am
So the next time a cop flies past me on his way to be the “hero” and causes an accident. And he is thrown out of the car, can I beat him too?
Can’t wait these worthless pigs are going to get what they have been giving for years.

Hey Ditto.. The Cop was thinking I get SHIT pay to deal with dirtbags. Maybe the speed of the van in excess of the speed limit arrived faster than the officer anticipated.
But in any case they shouldn’t have beat him down, but release the RADIO traffic with the video. I’m sure as soon as the officers leg was hit “Officer Down” went over the air and thus adrenaline surges.
No they shouldn’t have pounced on him. But you break the law you deal with whatever conquences those are and if those are rogue cops, then you picked a bad day to break the law.
May 21st, 2009 at 5:22 am
Ok first of all, that cop was an idiot for jumping in the middle of the highway for spike strips, the guy driving the van clearly deserves to be put away, and the fuckers who beat him to a pulp while unconscious deserve to 1. lose there job 2. also be put away…
What we all witnessed in this video was just a big pack of dumbasses that live in our country

All of the officiers involved in beating this obviously injured and apparently subconscious man should be charged by a grand jury for battery. The same standard must be applies to the police as would be to anyone else. This would send a strong message to the police that would help protect our liberties.

So the next time I see a cop pulling an older woman out of her car and tasering her (attempted murder if you look a statistics) I should beat the hell out of the cop to stop the assault. Think about that. Cops are NOT judge, jury and executioner. These are peace officers, this policy enforcement will stop as will the beatings when the people stand up and say I’m a sovereign citizen and I demand my rights. Irregardless of circumstances cops don’t beat citizens, that’s bullshit. Cops don’t use cruel and unusual means in any respect toward doing their job. Why’d you take the job if you wanted to avoid danger or couldn’t handle extreme situations when they occur.
The whole system is corrupted just to the extent that these cops, prosecutors, judges don’t even apply their own criminal and penal codes as they pertain to the laws of their states. Get smart people learn the criminal, penal and transportation codes for your states and demand these people do their jobs or go to jail, get fired…or just leave.

What is interesting is that this film obviously was in the possession of the Birmingham police dept., yet nothing was done until a 3rd party – the DA’s office, obtained possession of it.
Had there been any integrity within the Birmingham PD, the police chief would have fired those officers in January of 2008.
Were it not for the DA finding the tape, nothing would have ever happened.
The moral of this story? If you are ejected from your vehicle in a high speed chase from the police, don’t expect any mercy – unless the DA’s office has a bone to pick with the police department and decides to go public with the dashcam video of you getting the crap beat out of you while you’re unconcious, facedown on the ground.

right… the guy deserves jail time, not to be beat. All though I can see where the cops are coming from. There friends were shot at, while one was hit by a mini van I would have to say I would be mad as well (not saying I would beat him though, especially while unconscious).
May 21st, 2009 at 3:12 pm
“Bad boys, bad boys, cowboy cops – full of adrenaline when they bust your chops!”
Time after time on COPS they say “I’d do this job for free” and “I love the adrenaline rush” etc.
Cops are power junkies who only respect violence. Remember that if needed.

May 21st, 2009 at 3:46 pm
true story and in reference to the cop standing in front of the car throwing spike strip and not allowing himself enough time to get out of the way…..I live on a hill. About 5 winters ago my hill was solid ice, drivers would top the hill, then spin out of control on the ice all the way to the bottom of the hill, end over end, and hit the last driver to top the hill. Now, most of the drivers were speeding, the cops put up warning signs to no avail. We sat in the window and watched as one by one they picked up speed, end over end, down the hill and then CRASH into the last driver. It was hysterical. Some were hurt, still funny. Finally, after about 20-30 phone calls (ours included) a Hwy Patrolman shows up. He pulls into the drive, gets out of his car with a flag, and goes over and stands IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. Yep, you know what happened. The next car (on solid ice) couldn’t stop and there he was in the middle of the road with a degree in rocket science I’m sure about to get his stupid ass knocked off when he jumped, leaped into the ditch, put his hands over his head and waited to hear the CRASH. We laughed until we nearly killed ourselves. Cops are dumb.

A few years ago I helped police with some fucked up video they had of a bank robber. This was in Fort Walton Beach FL & a guy was robbing just about every bank in the area.
Finally after 9 months of NON-STOP robberies every 3-4 weeks, (sometimes 2 weeks), they find the dude living in a motel on the beach.
Turns out he was a crack head, and was such an intense addict, he didn’t even try to hide himself. No mask in the bank jobs, no secret hide out, and not accomplices. Just one little crazy ass red neck crack head BAFFLED police for 9 whole months!
JEEZE!
May 21st, 2009 at 4:16 pm
None of this would have happened if the idiot criminal stopped.
The officers did over react in beating this guys, and when you have a criminal who tried to kill the police officer who laid down the spike strips, that right there should give any police officer the right to use any means necessary to subdue the suspect because it was obvious (as shown on the video) that he had no regards for human life, and the officers who beat him probably did it out of caution, knowing that he might have been pretending to be unconscious and they didn’t want any surprises.
They didn’t deserve to get fired, maybe suspended without pay for a couple of weeks.

As A former Law-enforcement officer .. I found there action’s despicable and am glad they are off the force..

1835 is right. I knew a few guys who got off on fucking people up. One wanted to be a cop & one became one.
The one that became one, ended up getting forced into a desk job because he was constantly under police brutality charges.
The one that wasn’t was charged with assault way to many times for any police academy to accept him.
So what happened to the cops. I’m sure the dude they were chasing is a fuck up, but HE JUST FLEW OUT OF A WINDOW OF A MOVING VEHICLE AND WAS KNOCKED OUT!

Notice i said (stop his atacker),,,,,,,, an animal will kill his prey for food in nature but he won’t kill if attacked unless it is a must. these cops are trained as killers from their sick minded leaders…. they all deserve to be put to sleep as you would a dog that tries to kill for no reason. no good sick bastards that they are !!!!!

When society and organisations of power such as mafia or gangs, begin to see police as just another gang of thugs, it will change the way cops are treated. This kind of behavior and the thuggery against the ordinary public citisen, makes things more dangerous for cops. People will begin to take the attitude that it is a war out there, and the cops are one of the enemy gangs. Surrender will not be an option, live or die fighting will be the only option, and rightly so. If things continue like this and more cops are killed, then only the cops and the cities that hire them are to blame. Adrenalin is just as addictive as crack.
