AMERICANISM IS THE BEST WAY TO GO AS FAR AS I IS CONCERNED, I WILL KICK THE ASSES OF THOSE MUSLIM ASS IRAQERS FOR CAUSING 9/11
LOL... Sucks for that old guy, Im sure they'r gonna make those cops look like idiots back at the police department.
This is precisely why I never go to this shit. I'd much rather buy my kids toys at full price and not have to stay up all fucking night standing in line, in the freezing cold, just to get packed into store full of raging nutjobs and have to put up with the hysteria. People getting trampled to death. Crazy bitches pepper spraying everyone around them. Grandpas getting their faces smashed in. My own sister-in-law got in a white trash fist fight in front of Toys R US over a goddamn Transformer motorcycle that turns into Spiderman. Seriously. Fuck all that.
IT'S NOT FUCKING WORTH IT, PEOPLE.

Hey, its sad, but the police have every right to whoop your ass before they know anything about the situation. Not that there's any law that gives them that right, we just let them get away with it.
I have a buddy thats a cop, and let me tell ya, the shit you don't hear about is even more juicy than the shit you do.

Story certainly sounds pretty damning for the police, and if the witness accounts are true I hope they get what's comming to them. But really, America? Because police brutality only happens over here?
In America, when the police pull crap like this the media has a field day and the local PD tends to get the crap sued out of them.
Most people live in places where you have zero recourse against corrupt law enforcement (unless you're rich enough to pay them off).

I always tend to give the police the benefit of the doubt but that sounds pretty damning. I bet they’d get a lot more respect if in incidents like this they just came out and said “Sorry, we fucked up, it looked like he was stealing stuff but he wasn’t”
It’s the flat out denial that makes people angry, not the chance that it was human error.

This is a terrible story, and we need real reform in this country when it comes to police abuse laws.
However, as lastdual said, police brutality is not even remotely unique to America, and the U.S. is not worse than most countries on this issue by any means.

Dammit Jim now I have to go watch the Reservoir Dogs cop scene and the Terminator police station scene to feel better. I fucking hate the police. I live in Cincinnati and there hasn't been a cop killed in action (on purpose) in 10 years. Every day when I turn on the news I pray that changes.

@OneRed: I bet you'd think differently that this isn't a big deal if you had a loved one who was a victim of the crooked boys in blue.
I love hitting old people, they're so helpless! They take hits like a champ cause they're slow, their frail bodies fly through the air for days and nobody cares about them cause they're old so they won't tell anyone. I wish there was a job for people like me who just want to pepper spray and beat old people *sigh*....*watches occupy protests and black Friday coverage* what's this? Do tell me more....
Does anyone else find it ironic that within the weekend we have had police brutality headlines from both the occupy camps and black Friday shopping? Tell us what you want police state! Should we embrace our corporate overlords or protest them!? I don't wanna get pepped!

Cops arresting people because they resist arrest? Sounds like OWS. The only difference is that this guy didn't deserve to get his face smashed in clearly because protesters are evil.
I still want to participate in Black Friday one day in my life though, I never have and I feel it's something I should to one day. Just not at Walmart.

GODDAMN IT FUCK AMERICA. FUCK. THIS. COUNTRY.
We're a god damned police state run by corporations and WE DON'T GIVE A GOD DAMN FUCK. In fact, conservative ASSHOLES are actually BACKING the police and companies that FUCK OUR ASSES DRY and demand fucking BLOOD should a man put a few video games in his waistband to help his grandson.
FUCK THE CONSERVATIVES AND FUCK AMERICA. If the video games industry wasn't here...I would move in a goddamned heartbeat.

Sorry for getting over-emotional there...But seriously. I have HAD it with the way we just sit back and TOLERATE this shit.
Any other day of the year and I would join on the hate train for this, but last year a man was killed at my local Target because the crowd broke down the automatic sliding door before the Black Friday sales began and then trampled him to death while he was stuck under the door.
Black Friday brings out the absolute worst in people, and if you ask me, it should be an outlawed practice because people all across the country die that day for 30% off. Almost none of those deaths are due to cops either.

@able to think
You're an idiot. What kind of sick person hopes to see someone die like that? Do you seriously think everyone who becomes a cop is corrupt? I happen to know a few on a personal level and they are great people who potentially put their bodies and lives on the line for our protection. What's ironic is I guarantee if someone steals from you or threatens to harm you or anything else, you would be singing a much different tune.

I'd change my username if I were you, since you're obviously not able to think. At all.
Seriously you're a fucking horrible human being. (And I use that term extremely loosely.)

I just love how in these situations people like to assume the authority figure is automatically in the wrong. I'm not saying they are not, I'm just saying it is a closed minded way of thinking when you don't have all the facts.
If worse things have ever happened in other countries, that makes bad things that happen in the US acceptable, right?
Right, guys?
Also, if you criticize the US, it means you hate the US. A true patriot knows that you should ignore any problems that happen. An ignored problem? Why, that's no problem at all!
A bald eagle sweeps majestically over a fuckup. It doesn't acknowledge a fuckup. Unless that fuckup has carrion, in which case it may be all over it. Therefore, the analogy doesn't always apply.
In conclusion: Stay patriotic! Stay perfect!

@DanielCampbell, The authorities were clearly in the wrong, you can't be charged on shoplifting until your leaving the store not to mention the amount of force they used.
Yeah if you have a weak old man on the floor bleeding profusely over suspicion of "intention to shoplift" and you don't even know what to do about the bleeding then the local police commissioner needs to take away your gun, your badge, and the patrol car and the salary that goes with it. And you need to lawyer up.
Those goons aren't cops, those are idiots who just happen to look like cops and accidently got jobs as cops that they obviously could not handle. But real cops would know better.
