    Default CPS and excessive force, again

    http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/sto...cop-video.html

    Cop pushes a guy down a set of stairs.

    Saw this on the news during the first intermission. The news had the video but the article doesn't. Looked like pretty obvious excessive force to me, article mentions that the police are saying that the events earlier than the video shows justifies the actions.

    Are these excessive force allegations over the last 6-12 months against the CPS isolated incidents or reflective of a ingrained violent culture among the cops of the CPS?



    Edit: Added a sentence for clarity.

    I'd say the video was inconclusive. AT first glance it looked like he could have tossed the guy down the stairs, but not necessarily.

    I usually enjoy jumping all over the CPS, but this doesn't look very legit to me.

    I bet, if anything, that it's the store owner, getting back at the cops who busted him for selling crack pipes.

    yep. the idiot called the cops to get the crackheads (who probably bought the pipes he was selling in his store) out of his apartments there. then told them he couldn't give them the video, and instead gives it to the media.

    hes trying to give cps a black eye but it won't work.

    those cops have alot of shit to deal with too... after being downtown on the weekend you see the stuff they deal with and realize that its a tough place to be... most everyone i saw down there, just asked for the force...

    after being dt and seeing the crack heads, drunks, everything they fight with, it gives me new respect... cuz i for one wouldnt be able to deal with that bull shit every day

    As much as I hate crackheads and bums, they are still entitled to there rights and from the video I saw on CBC this is 100% excessive force.

    He was clearly sitting down when the officer picked him up and shoved him down the stairs.

    What a bunch of overgrown doormen....

    A badge and gun are an excuse to feel like a man I guess for some cops

    Thats how you wake up sleeping crackheads. I work less than a block away from this. I deal with crackheads everyday, I hate them. This was perfectly justified in my mind.

    We need another Ralph Klein bus trip to ship them all out to Vancouver.

    fortunately enough most of us don't have to deal with these pricks.. hence law abiding citizens. I just joined these forums and have read a lot of these CPS abuse stories. How is it that I haven't been in contact with a police officer in 10 years except for one checkstop? says something.

    When ever im at the ctrain station across the street I love watching the crack head go up stairs and come back down for thier crack deals , its the owner getting back but at thesame time looks like cps took it too far as the man was sitting down harmless not causing havac at the moment

    Crackheads don't deserve to have their lives made easier. Same goes with any other street skid. Treat the ones who are mental, house the ones willing to work, help sober up the ones who want help, But don't make it easier to be a crackhead piece of shit.

    I support CPS 100% in this case. Shoulda kicked him harder.

    I'm usually the first one to point out if I think a cop is responding to a threat, but that is definitely not the case here. The cop got frustrated and kicked the crackhead down the stairs, it's excessive force.

    On the other hand, I have no problem with cops kicking crack heads around.

    The guy could be sitting down as a means to disobey any orders from the cop. Everyone's seen what happens when crackheads (and people who refuse to follow orders) refuse to listen to anyone. They sit down in protest and basically dare you to do something about it.

    It's possible (though I'm not saying it happened) that the cop was telling him to get up and the crackhead wasn't listening/mouthing off. Either way the crackhead would be going down the stairs willingly or unwillingly.
