The Dallas PD just released this video. When will these guys ever learn. The two cops have been fired and the PD is pressing assault charges on them.

"This was just release by the Dallas PD. They fired the two cops and are filing charges on them.

I have no sympathy for the "victim". He ran, he deserves to get beat, he probably almost killed people.

Off topic...is the Stang in your avatar yours FOG?

Yeah its a Shelby. See the thread in the other platforms section.

I don't like it when the cops taking it in their own hands. Just charge the guy with evading arrest but don't beat a guy laying on the ground begging you to stop then beat him after you cuff him. That isn't right.

the guy could have done more thing to make them use the force they did. You want to use the minimal amount of force to control the scene. He runs on a motorcycle you chase him the stops gets off the bike, he could have just jumped back on it on drove away. Me I would have shot his ass with a tazer its like hell and he cant move for 5 sec. I am a MP for the army lol

He was laying on the ground and after they cuffed him the punched him. The police don't get to punish you that is what jail is for. They also tampered with the evidence by moving the camera out of its normal range of view. Tazeing him would have been excessive force because he gave up. These guys are going to get prosecuted. They should have charged him with evading arrest and leave the punishment to the court system.

yeah, the guy went to the ground to give up. There was no reason, in the video, to beat him like they did. I appreciate what the police do, but that was too much.

the news is going to have more angles from more dash cams they saw.

Yep I heard about this the other day. As a fellow rider, I gotta say, what they did is NOT justifiable. Dallas even has a policy not to chase motorcycle suspects because they may kill themselves trying to run, not other people.
