grr i was here to post that same story in the thread about a ninja........

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12303788/

beat me to it i guess.....

[Yudanja]

haha rock on. He must not be a really real ninjer.

Guns drawn might be a bit too over the top though, maybe if the dude had a sword, but the black ADIDAS pants and red paisley bandanna might tip me off that he was not a real ninjer.

(I know they were not thinking that he was a ninja, I was joking of course)


Would have been funny if the urban ninja video was of him getting caught doing that.

He has his knee right on his neck. I would own that guys house and job if he did that to me...

Hard to tell if it is his neck or upper back. Upper back is okay, and is actually part of the training for some departments. Neck is generally a no-no, but only because of potential injuries. No injury, no foul.

Im with Tuna on that one. It doesnt even matter if its the upper back or neck right there, the guy is cuffed already. Thats just another case of a cop abusing a kid just because he thinks hes the cock of the walk and he can do crap like that. Now I can see the other side of it, that if he hadnt detained him and the kid had done something, well thats bad. But the kid is cuffed and on the ground. Get the heck off of him.

On a side note, that is one crappy ninja costume. Really really crappy.

Yeah no offense but those guys obviously need a vacation, way to stressed out, I would also jump on the "sue there butts" bandwagon for this one, even though I normally despise that.

Agreed, ATF is trained to deal with people a little more seriously then your local PD. That is likely well within there training. Besides.. he wanted to pretend to be a ninja. If he was a ninja those cuffs mean nothing

Yeah, because you know exactly what happened, right?

And we have no idea at what point in the arrest that photo was taken. Most prone handcuffing techniques involve kneeling on the subjects back while placing the handcuffs on there.

[Crighton]

The one guys obviously reading the students ID to the other who's on the phone.

"Boy I need to take a load off, hey this guys neck seems like a great place for me to rest my tired footsies. "

Well thats what you get when you go to U[sic]GA

FINISH HIM!

I do have to agree that by the looks of the picture, thats a little much...of police force..

Ive seen numerous of ocasions of police abusing their power...never a good thing

Well, had the suspicious-acting masked figure been doing something bad, and the cops had failed to act, there would be an equal amount of griping. Honestly, the cops just can't make everyone happy.

And how is kneeling on his back too much force? Its called controlling the suspect. You do know that cops get killed by in-custody suspects, right? As bad as it looks, its not so much painful as it is restrictive.

[Lohman446]

If you think that is excessive force you need to go talk to officers for awhile. Any suspect at any time could kill you. I doubt there is much weight there, as has been pointed out, that is not about causing pain is about controlling a situation. Especially in a college campus where they are out of uniform they have to be prepared to handle the people around them as much as the suspect, be it should it escalate or to remind newcomers that they are federal agents.
