A cop's gotta do what a cop's gotta do

[Mairead]

A man is seen jumping out of the car and police taser him. Even after that, police still struggle to handcuff him and eventually mace him.

The suspect continued to resist, so as many as eleven officers rushed into help, with one officer even kicking the suspect.

Finally the officers subdue the suspect and carry him off.

Police tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the man stole the Honda and that the chase started at 7th and Lafayette in St. Paul.

As for the officer kicking the suspect, St. Paul Police tell us they have to do what they can to subdue suspects.

1. Kicking anybody is wrong..BUT..

..I can only imagine the frustration that Police Officers go through each day. Eventually, someone is going to do the wrong thing...

2. No problem with any of that....

Sorry...but being a police officer is a rough job, and if it is taking a 11 of them to subdue a perp, than that's what it takes.

3. It it takes 11 of them to subdue one perp, they need more training.

There is no reason why it should take more than 4 to handle a single opponant, unless he was REAL big and they were all REAL small.

4. From what I have seen...

In my days as a bouncer, too often the cops end up battling each other as much as they do the actor.

Which I found rather amusing. ;-)
