This was the second incident we had this year with the police getting blamed for being "too rough" with belligerent shitheads provoking violence. The first one was with some crazy bastard doing a road-rage on a street that was crowded with pedestrians. The cops took him down hard, just like with the chav in the above video, because even after being repeatedly told to knock it off the fucker wouldn't stand down. On top of it the pearl-clutchers are having more fun second guessing the guys on the ground after the police had to shoot some guy, another "gentle giant" with a decades-long record of violence, when he floored the gas pedal of his vehicle at them and tried to run them over.
I'd like the anti-cop posters here to just admit to one thing. The "servant" part of public servant as it applies to police is the only thing they're interested in. They literally want the cops, no matter how dangerous to others a criminal is behaving, to behave like waiters in a restaurant working for a tip. It's the application of the "customer is always right" nonsense to a job where protecting the public from deviants. "My taxes pay your salary!" is an entitlement to boorish behaviour and the cops should apparently just have to suck it up like the waitresses at Hooters do when some drunk starts feeling them up.
I'm amazed so many of the police keep showing up for work. Maybe someday en masse they won't, and then this putrid hateful society and all the deviants in it that have ruined it from top to bottom will finally get what they all fucking deserve.
