Caught On Tape -- Cops Attack Actors

91. "If they had done what they were told this wouldn't have happened"..."Cops don't arrest people for no reaason"..."The b!tch with the camera should be prosecuted"...

What a bunch of fascist police-state-advocating totalitarian pigs. For your information, cops SHOOT people for no reason. They SODOMIZE PEOPLE WITH PLUNGERS for no reason. They BEAT and KICK people for no reason. And what you complain about is not what they did, but that there was a video of it? Pathetic.

You people are aick. We have become the Soviet Union, and you all just think that's dandy, that's how freakin over-the-top sick you are.

These cops need to be put behind bars like the common thugs they are, in order to send a message to other cops that brutality will not be tolerated.

92. My post was #8 last night - this morning it is gone. I made comments about the Shreveport Police and how they step over thier bounds regularly. I made a comment about a man that was spread eagle on his car hood and searched for a sesame seed on the front seat next to him from a burger king whopper. Please - tell me someone saw that post?! And now..it's gone. I think my point was just proven.

93. Apparently the police wanted to arrest these guys for what happened inside of the club which was not videotaped and they resisted by first holding on to each other. We do not know what happened prior to the cops showing up or when the first officers actually arrived on scene, so we do not know if the officers told them they were under arrest. (Very convienant TMZ) Instead of getting into another major confrontation with these obviously drunk guys, the officers used restraint and first tried to pepper spray them. It worked on one guy but not the other. The other guy still refused to follow orders and did not place his hands behind his back like I am sure he was told to. He choose to resist. Once again the officers choose not to fight with this gentleman so they used a contact tase in order to get him to comply. The contact tase is not as strong as the darts (especially when a person is under the influence) so sometimes it takes multiple times for that person to get the hint. It would be stupid to even try and prosecute these cops or even discipline them for doing there jobs. I understand police officers choose their profession but they should be able to go home, to their families at night without being hurt just like the criminals you are trying to protect. If these actors were punching you in the face while in the club, would you want the police to just let them go because they did not want to be arrested?

95. what you dont see on this is what happened prior to the taping and Brolin and his pals obstructed justice. That is a no no period! Did the cops go overboard sure but they are cops! They make their own rules people-get real! Getting in a cops face is just stupid. Josh and friends were wasted and NOT MINDING their own business. They asked for it.

97. Wow I am sincerely disgusted and disturbed by this, mostly by the last part of the video. I see this as extreme police brutality against a human being. That man was laying on the ground, motionless and was STILL being tased! There is not one good reason for that, at all. That could cause death, and these cops shouldnt have the right to use tasers since they obviously dont understand the purpose of them (non lethal force DUH!!) or how they should be properly used. It shows a high level of agression toward a harmless subject. WTF? And then to threaten arrest "put your hands behind your back" for recording the video clearly shows that in their minds they were wrong for what they were doing. I doubt a news reporter would receive such flack. WHEN are we and people in the judicial system going to recognize and give credence to the fact that police are merely people, who make mistakes just as often, who pass a fairly easy test and are not "super people" and they do not posess highly advanced psycology degrees allowing them to have more perfect judgement. I hope these guys hire really good attourneys with a lot of common sense. Jesus Christ.

98. How could anyone defend the actions of these police officers after watching this video? Based on the poll results, it's obvious that only a small minority of people are stupid enough to try making excuses for the cops. I'm sure the percentage of people who voted 'no' in the poll above (roughly 14% right now) is close to the percentage of crazy / retarded people who use the Internet. While the rest of us see this video as an example of police brutality, there are those who deny reality. Those boot-licking, ignorant, authority-fearing sheeple can stick the Taser up their @$$es for all I care.

Tasering someone who is handcuffed, and unable to cause any trouble because they're lying on the ground, is not only unnecessary, it's just messed up! IT'S BASICALLY TORTURE! The person being Tasered cannot do anything to defend himself, and the cops cannot expect this guy to be MORE subdued than he already is, so why hurt him? It's called "pain compliance", and it's a form of torture.

They keep telling us the Taser is a non-lethal weapon, which is only used in situations when officers feel their lives or health are being threatened. But these types of scenarios continue to occur because cops are given little training, and always seem to get away with this kind of abuse. When someone is handcuffed, and therefore NOT A THREAT, how can the officer justify his Taser use? I understand the use of Tasers in some cases, like when someone is resisting arrest in a violent manner, but this is insane! Cops don't have a right to just use the Taser whenever they feel like it!

The cops in this video shouldn't be able to work in any job which allows them authority over any human or animal. These cops should be happy if they have authority over taking your money for a Big Mac and Fries! The actors should sue the pants off of the cops, even though they don't need the money, just for principle. They should be sued so badly OJ Simpson feels sorry for them!

If you do a Google or YouTube search, you can see that police brutality and abuse is becoming a widespread problem. More people carry cameras (like in cell phones), so obviously there's MORE evidence than ever before. But believe me, there are MANY cases that go unreported. Welcome to Police State USA, brought to you by any and ALL governments. I just hope the people of America wake up before it's too late.

99. In case anyone has forgotten what really happened that night, here's what I found out from a police buddy of mine. They were called to the scene when one of the crew members become intoxicated and was harassing other customers. The bartender and owner both asked the crew member to leave. He refused so the cops were called. When the police were trying to remove him from the property, Brolin and Wright interfered with the police and tried to stop them from removing the crew member. Big mistake. You don't interfere with a police officer who is doing his job. That is why they were placed under arrest. Then of course comes the video. Brolin and Wright were both resisting arrest and that's why force was used against them. Just because your famous doesn't mean that you are above the law.

101. also when you look at it wright was not handcuffed yet when the lady says he was shocked, and the only reason he was not cuffed was because he was not fully and passivly coroporating.
