The video, recorded by a bystander, shows a woman handcuffed, lying on the ground on her stomach. Witnesses at the apartment complex where the confrontation took place say the woman spit on the sergeant's shoes at least once and maybe twice. The video shows the sergeant kicking the woman after she makes a spitting motion.

Why do too American police seem to enjoy brutalizing those who are restrained and on the ground? What excuses will our “conservative” posters roll out for this?

Welcome back from detention. Because one policeman is accused of kicking someone that means American police enjoy brutalizing? Okkkkk.

Anyway, in Atlanta, crime is zooming; homicides are up 60% this year. So the fact there is a focus on one policeman alleged to have kicked one person, well, sorry, but I am more concerned about being able to walk safely along the streets of Atlanta. The Biden administration and the defund police movements driven by far-left libs has resulted in an increase of crime across America.

Why do libs support the criminals?

By the way,

News outlets quoted police as saying they were responding to a report of a woman walking in a neighborhood south of downtown Atlanta and pointing a gun at people on Monday.

Well, this justifies kicking in the head a restrained woman lying on her stomach. Makes perfect sense.

I didn't write that it justifies kicking in the head. You did.

But if you think it makes perfect sense, it's your world!

I guess the only people who have something to worry about are those who walk around and point guns at other people and put themselves in a position to get handcuffed and kicked in the head.

Nobody deserves to be kicked in the head whilst handcuff and belly down in the ground. Those making excuses for this cop are advocating for a police state.

For me, I do not walk around pointing guns at people for no reason, so I will never be handcuffed and kicked in the head for doing so.

And a police state? Ahhhh, don't think you understand the meaning of such.

Because hey, high school bullies need gainful employment, too, ya know.

Another day yet another police brutality.

Even after George Floyd and many other innocents brutally killed by police, it seems to have gotten worse, not better.

dont walk around pointing a gun at people and acting crazy.

dont spit at police.

if you do those, this incident wont happen to you. everyone is a victim.

The woman, who was not identified, is Black.

Someone was waving a firearm at you, your partner, and others while walking on a street. I can't think of a reason why she wasn't shot dead. It would have been legal.

Who did she get her hands on a firearm? If she's mentally ill, then she couldn't buy it herself, so hunt down who's weapon it was and bring charges against them.

She was apprehended and cuffed. I've never been in the position of having someone waving a firearm in my direction, but I have lived through some very stressful events that could easily have killed me. I took about 5 minutes for me to calm down to the point where I could think again. Generally, I was saying 1 word, over and over and over after nearly dying. I could easily understand if a cop needed a few minutes to calm down. That would apply to both, but they should have training and their partner to help out.

I'm not making excuses. Being in mortal danger is part of being a cop in metro Atlanta. They shouldn't be physically harming anyone properly restrained. However, I can understand why, perhaps, they might not make the best choices 10 seconds after a physical altercation with a "suspect".

At least they didn't kill her. Compared to last year, that's a huge win, but we'd love it if the encounter had been deescalated and the suspect were turned over to county mental health people instead.

Who absent her own illegal actions would not have been in the position for that to have happened to her.

you act like police just running around grabbing random “didn’t do nothing” Black people, handcuffing them and then kicking them in the head.

Nice justifying a police officer kicking in the head a handcuffed person who is face down.
