Unfortunately, the driver will soon be able to afford to upgrade to an e60 with the money he will get from the lawsuit that is likely being drafted as we speak....

As far as I'm concerned, you lead the cops on a high speed chase, indiscriminately endanger the lives of many innocent citizens, then you no longer deserve the rights of the law abiding world. I would have kicked the SOB twice!
If he would have just pulled over and the cops hit him, it would be another story, but that guy deserved what he got. He would not want me on his jury. I'm sick and tired of the criminals having all the rights.

One guys car on here gets hit by some kid running the streets, or hits something even more more precious, id like to hear your level headed oppinion then.Its easy to be on the side of caution when you watch it from the safety of your laptops. Come on, are you really taking the side of a criminals over the side of someone making an attempt to stop that. That kid was not making rational decions, so why should we rationalize the situation for him?
Letting the dog bite him would've been more appropriate !
PS: don't forget the high 5 one cop w/the k-9 officer did to each other!!!

So we kick a guy who's finally showing a modicum of sense by realizing he's screwed and giving up because he COULD have run over somebody? My tax dollars pay for a higher level of professionalism. I showed this clip to my brother, who currently in federal law enforcement (10+ years following 5 years as an MP), and he said the same thing: bad move, unprofessional, unjustified. If we want to live in a civilized society, we're not going to improve by coming down to the level of criminals.

i don't think anyone has taken the criminals side here - but when the suspect is down willingly, facing the ground and apparently at that point cooperating with police there is no need to abuse and take a cheap shot like that. That officer should be written up or whatever, but that just wasn't cool.
Letting the dog bite him would've been more appropriate !

My level-headed opinion would be the same. If some one already has submitted and gone face down with their arms outstretched, it doesn't matter what they've done. It's not up to the police to punish people, let the courts do that. They are there in this case to neutralize and apprehend a suspect. All he had to do was handcuff the guy, but instead he used poor judgement for which he will pay. So, criminals aren't rational, so we shouldn't expect those enforcing the law to be? Aren't we, including the police, supposed to be more professional/intelligent in our dealings than criminals. Commiting assault on a defenseless man will earn that officer a reprimand. It is indefensible. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Also, do we now punish people at our own discretion for what MIGHT have happened? So we kick a guy who's finally showing a modicum of sense by realizing he's screwed and giving up because he COULD have run over somebody? My tax dollars pay for a higher level of professionalism.

Well lesson learned, wrong or right, if you run from LAPD you will get kicked in the head,and I will laugh and support it. I didnt hear all these bleeding hearts when that pitcher for the Angels got hit by some a$$ and died. The officer will get a repremand, go out, arrest a few hundred felons, and not want a thank you from anyone.
