It’s easy to say “act professional “ but imagine you are at your job and some ass hole is spitting in your face. “ Excuse me sir but would you mind not spitting in my face?”Damn.
I can understand the cop being pissed at being spit on but that slam could have killed or crippled the perp. There were much better ways for him to have handled it. Cops are supposed to be professionals at deescalating situations & at not taking things personally & this cop failed at both.
How would you prefer him to throw him to the ground and cuff him, since that’s what was going to have to happen? He can’t cast wingaurdium arrestiosa since Harry Potter isn’t real.Of course he wouldn't know he was a schizo, but that's not what makes it excessive force.
The current social climate has people slamming bad cops for doing wrong things... and good cops for doing necessary things to active resistors.It's outrageous that this cop is on administrative leave but I understand why when you have Jesse Jackson involved. The cop was ending a threat. Spitting is assault and that police officer didn't walk him over to the curb and plan it out or anything. What did this asshole think was going to happen when he spits on a police officer?

Tell us how you really feel!The cop should have launched him into outer space in a wood chipper. That's on fire.
Didn't watch the video. Don't care. I think spitting on people should get the death penalty. Well, maybe not,l. Just life behind bars. In a Russian prison.
It’s not a pile driver or a choke slam. That’s a pretty standard throw. Are we also expecting police to be judo black belts now?Not head first into the curb?
Aren't you Americans supposed to know something about wrestling? Strange that you'd be more of a Harry Potter geek.
3. He kept making threads with no vids1. Where is the slam?
2. This is for Berry?
3. What happened to TheOneAboveAll2 and 1?
No injuries. If the curb had not been there, it would be less of a problem. I always state my “cringe factor” and this one gave me a small twinge. But all of the civil rights warriors coming to this guys aid makes me not care because they would not care one bit if Kersh was white.
I would like to see the whole video not just the slam. If this guy was aggressive from the start like they say, Ruben he earned his slam. But that could have been much worse.
Slam was extreme but I'll withhold judgment since I dont know what happened leading up to it.
Not head first into the curb?
