    This Baltimore Police Officer needs to be fired immediately & charged w/ assault. Laws regarding assault still apply to police. This isn’t MMA. Completely shameful. None of that was necessary. We aren’t asking the city to suspend this man. He needs to be terminated and charged.pic.twitter.com/fCNdEcU2JO

        Whatever justice we ever get, we have to fight for it ourselves. SIGN THE PETITION and demand with us that this brutal officer be prosecuted for assault. It's simply not enough that he gets to resign without consequences. What he did is illegal.https://act.realjusticepac.org/sign/charge-baltimore-police-officer/?source=tw20180813 …

        I don't care *how* a suspect speaks to an officer and what background they have—he's a public servant and his job is to protect and serve. That is an outrageous example of excessive force. The job is to keep it above reproach.

        Police do not seem to be trained to deescalate tense situations. In fact they appear to be trained to do the opposite. #PoliceTraining #Deescalate

        Police are trained in a military fashion which means they aren’t there to talk. They are there to put down any and all opposition with extreme prejudice. Why do they react with seemingly extreme and excessive force? Because overwhelming displays of force are how you stop enemies.

        There's also the trained cowardice of "cop's life first". It's why American cops pull the gun out at every little thing after being trained to fear everything and everyone. Cops in civilized countries protect civilians above all else, American cops shoot so they don't gotta jog.

        The problem we have is that our police are shifting from “protect and serve” to “suppress and control”. For minorities, it’s already been like that.

        The other officer did nothing while witnessing this assault (a criminal act) going on. Aren't the police supposed to enforce criminal law include assaults especially while they take place. Police are trained in use of force/arrest and control techniques to subdue suspects...

        without requiring beating a suspect. Looked like excessive force to me while his partner allowed it to go on...and it's not even clear what the person did to warrant any "interest" from the police
