Soldier Doesn't Know Cop is Marine

The Soldier may have conducted himself a little differently had he known, but maybe not. Story goes, the Soldier called police to help him after he was assaulted by roomates and kicked out of his apartment. He is a little upset that it took police 45 minutes to arrive at the scene. At one point the officer steps toward the Soldier and that is when things escalate. Ultimately, the officer appears to use exessive force on the Soldier and is now facing scrutiny. What do you think?

    I get the Idea that the Cop /Marine does not like the Army.And Used Excessive force.He did the stepping up to.not the soldier. And the other officer sided with his Buddy.the Cop is Arrogant.And should be reprimanded.

    I believe that the cop should be dismissed from the force because of his arrogance!

    What excessive force? Runnin your mouth, bad attitude will only land you in trouble. With that attitude , no wonder his roommate beated him up.

    It makes no difference which Armed Forces branch either of these two is a Veteran of -- both are wrong. The Officer is undisciplined & in serious need of corrective action. As a Peace Officer, he is expected to perform in a professional manner. Most Law Enforcement agencies would fire him for his childish misbehavior.

    The cop did the right thing. The soldier should have relaxed and let the cop just do his job and not get stressed out on the cop.

    I think that kid should have shut his mouth, you just don’t go and throw up the you’re a US soldier what do you think that you going to get special treatment because of that? It does’nt matter if you are or not you should still show Law Enforcement the respect that they deserve!

    this cop should get be cooked like the fat pig he is. we pay you salary and yes you do work on our time. 45 minutes is absurd. the guy could have been dying for 45 minutes, none the less he was in danger for 45 minutes. ontop of all that, the soldier was not a threat to the cop.

    45 minutes is ridiculious. If the victim said he was assualted and the police took that long there should be an investigation on this case. The cop approached the victim in a threatening manner. While the victim should have remained calm the officer had no right or need to take the victim to the ground then keep him there until he could not breath. Thats just ridiculious. Marine or not thats no excuse. The victim stating that he was a US Soldier was not for special treatment but what he thought he needed to say in the situation. It may have not been right but neither was the cops aggressive position. Fire the cop. We don't need "The cities ""Finest"" " like that.

    The Marine Cop was pissed when the guy started disrespecting him and talking to him as if he was a child. I felt like he got exactly what he desereved just because he is an American Soldier does not mean he can disrespectful manner. I hope he learned a valuable lesson to never disrespect a Cop no matter if he is a Marine or not. Cased closed, he should have showed the Cop the respect he deserves. He is a Lawenforcer and a United States Marine.

    I'm a Soldier and a COP. That punk would have been on his way to jail as soon as he cussed at me. It's called disorderly conduct! Not to mention squareing off against a COP. Military bearing is to be maintained in and out of uniform. As far as his "situation" is concerned think about this....if he acts that way towards police officers how was he acting toward those folks who supposedly beat him up?

  13. SamMckernan
    SamMckernan Feb 10, 2013

    Excessive use of force? YES! Should the officer be fired? YES! The officer didn't like being cussed at, so what. Many state supreme courts have stated cussing at police is protected speech. The officer stepped up and then assaulted the man. The officer should be fired and then arrested. What ever happened to "to protect and serve"? Too many police officers are just bullies.

  15. spidermanops
    spidermanops Feb 10, 2013

    SamMckernan crushenemies: so when someone shows up to help you, you cuss them out? Next time you need help call a crack head. We respond when dispatched. The call goes to 911, then 911 sends to call to a police dispatcher. Some punk that got roughed up is not a high priority call! I had a punk try to flag me down when enroute to a home invasion and he filed a complaint! The world does not revolve around you. I wear two uniforms like that COP and I don't tolerate disrespect in either one.

We know he marines don't get along that well with the army...because the Marines are superior...according to them....so that's right Mr big bully marine/cop guy.

    Most folk seekin ghelp from the cops are already in a high state of anguish...maybe the police should learn how to bring calm to the situation not escalate it...and did he call the cops or the MPs...'cause we all know you get a way with cop abuse in the military in ways you can't in the civilian world....right??????

    Cop was way out of line and very unprofessional. His silly comment about "I'm a Marine" is funny....doesn't he know how many Marines have had their butts kicked by Navy and Army people? Being a Marine is special only in their minds, all military people are equal.

    I'm a cop in a big city and what he did was WRONG. Totally unjustified and he needs to be punished. It's guys like this that give hard working cops like me a bad reputation and it sickens me. He assaulted the wise mouth kid and may end up losing his job and being criminally charged. I know for a fact my department would fire and charge me.

  27. badge320

    you need to look at video again people, yes officer stepped toward him but did not get in his face. The other guy closed the distance and got in the officers face.

  28. Sgtmac007
    Sgtmac007 Feb 12, 2013

    1st...the kid was the first to display arrogance by stepping up to the officer and "advising" him that he should recognize he talking to a us soldier. Total lack of professionalism. You are a soldier 24 hours a day on or off duty. Second, you never make aggressive moves toward an officer. in thier line of work, even the most seemingly docile contact can be a threat to their safety. Make an aggressive move, and they can legally use the necessary force to suppress the threat, which they did professionally using what looks like approved defensive tactics. Third, unless an assault is reported with major injuries or is ongoing when the call is made, it will take a lower priority in call list. You don't know what those officers were doing before they responded to that call. They may have been at an accident with injuries, domestic dispute, saving a cat from a tree, following up on a false 911 call...any number of things. If the kid had a problem with the response time, he should take it up with the department not the responding officers. Finally, with all the rude comments, you couldn't be military, if so...I am shamed I served with such unproffessional morons regardless of branch

    This fat ...person ..does not represent the cops or the corps is ANY fashion to be proud of. The poor kid gets beat up and robbed by his own roommates and THAT's the treatment he gets? Shameful. And BTW, the COP postured and stepped forward, not the other way around.

    DaddyLongLegsUSA Feb 14, 2013

    cop should be fired. The young buck told him he was a soldier and the cop lost control. The cop is to proud of himself. Not to mention he was practically gloating about his choke hold.

    Cop was nothing but a fat want to be who spent a weekend in the USMC, probably drafted and did a single stint got the tattoo and thinks he is a bad a$$ because he is a hillbilly cop with a gun. Just another punk! Hope he gets fired!!

    27839760 Feb 14, 2013

    45 min. response is long BUT manpower, threat preceived, caller / dispatcher conversation decided level. His attitude towards officer was poor. Got what he had coming. Listen to all of conversation and he seems to not respect law enforcement. If you are unhappy with response get an application they maybe need help keeping people safe.

  35. 27839760
    27839760 Feb 14, 2013

    Also, if you have ever been in law enforcement or dealt with the public in a " I control the situation " encounter, The officer preceived ( possible ) threat and stopped it. The old addage: I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Arm chair quarterback is not the way.

    for those who said that the officer stepped up to him, maybe looking closer at the video would help. The officer gets closer, not in anyone's face, then the d-bag gets into the officer's face. this video does not tell the whole story. A full view of the suspect and his hands, any resistance once on the ground would tell more of the tale.

    This kid's just a little wimp tryin to act like a man, he's in the reserves for god sake he makes it seem like he is a decorated war veteran,and plus he has to throw up that he's a U.S soldier to see if they would give him special treatment. And all that growning on the ground and lying give me a break! No wonder his roomates kicked his a$$. He sure learned some respect after that.

    The Soldier should've been more respectful to the officer, but there was no need for the officer to throw him to the ground and put all that weight down on his chest. The soldier didn't get in his face, the officer got in the soldier's face. This is the kind of stuff that makes police officer's look bad, he should be fired.

    Im just now seeing this video and to me I think it's pretty funny to see this kid trying to be a bada$$ and talking like a big man.If I was there I would have kicked his a$$, and then he wonders why his roommates beat him up. And then to step up and say U.S soldier that is using your title for selfish reasons, what do you think that he was just going to say "ohh sorry man it's all good now". Sorry kid that's not how it happens in the real world. But the cop was out of line by not trying to defuse the situation further but hey you got to do what you got to do, and if he felt like his safety was in danger than by all means he had the right to defend himself.

  43. GunnerNine

    For those who believe that the Police officer used excessive force. You're incorrect. Disorderly conduct is an offense that the 'Soldier' had committed precisely by cussing toward the Officer and refusing to cooperate. Not to mention, that the 'Soldier' was boasting as if he should be treated better just because he's in the military. Yes, I agree at some points that we deserve a little more respect, but not like that. I would just be glad they even showed up at my door after I called them. 45 Minutes is NOT THAT LONG. Dispatchers have Priorities. A small scale assault like this is just about the lowest you can go, and I'm sure these police officers had even higher priority offenses to go investigate. Nothing this Police officer could have done would be considered Excessive force. Anyone that was ever really a Soldier, Marine, Sailer, Airmen, or even someone in the Coast guard, would agree that the Officer did nothing bad. So how about all you Non-Military get the hell off the site, you don't belong here.

    This video kinda pisses me off; 45 minutes are you kidding me you shouldn’t have gotten your ass kicked! This kid goes and throws up that he's a us soldier, hey kid news flashes you in the reserves, what you too scared to go to the actual Army? But you sure where acting like you were some big bad war war hero. You know that just shows you this kid is a little is just a little punk trying to fit into his big boy shoes. If I was his instructor he would be sorry he ever joined the military! It really gives the rest of us a bad reputation. Good luck with the rest of your life kid hopefully you learned a good lesson from this.

    This kid shows a lack of diciplin and humulity.You do ot go and through around your title I don' t care what branch you are in.I do belive in a way that members of the military deserve more respect than civilians,But we don't just go aroung treating people like trash because of it.I mean would you talk to the MP's like that?I sure hope not.This needs to chill out and hows about he goes into the real Army and not the reserves.Maybe you'll learn some diciplin and respect then!And for all you "Military want a be's" how's about you find somthing else to do.

  47. 30596581
    30596581 Apr 09, 2013

    The only reason why the cop acted the way he did is because of his uniform; cops think they are invincible and run the shit around as soon as they don their uniforms, they take their sweet ass time to go to a domestic call because they are at krispy cream buying donuts.I also though marines were better trained and more dicipline, way to show it. He nothing but a fat ass, eating donut SEMPER LIE cop who needs to be fired.Probably someone who got picked on in high school and hides behind the uniform to be a bully. Lets see him go at it with a veteran soldier without his uniform.

    In my opinion, think its pretty funny to hear all of these non-military wannabe’s saying that the cop should be disciplined and what not. Yes the officer could have tried to defuse the situation but if you all recall the “Soldier” did step forward to the officer when the cop was only trying not to yell at the little dirt bag, what you all need to be saying is that the little punk should be in the wrong by addressing himself in a disrespectful manner. “U.S. Soldier bro” so what if you’re a U.S. soldier! You don’t get cocky and get in another man’s face and then shout U.S. soldier, what did you think that he was going to shake your hand and forget about it. You’re in the civilian world now kid you’re not on base talking to the MP’s! But that kid sure learned some manners real quick. That’s all I had to say on this matter.

    The kid got in the officers face and started smarting off, he got taken to the ground. Guess what folks, this is not, I repeat not, excessive force. For all the officer knew, the kid was gonna headbutt him or attack him. If the kid had attacked the cop, got his pistol and shot him, you losers would be singing a different tune.

    Little late to the party here but this little wannabe was wrong. As an active duty NCO, I would expect to get jacked up if I acted in this manner towards the Police, in or out of uniform. Yes, the Officer may have used a little too much force, but in the same situation, I can't say I would have done anything differently.

Just because someone is a Soldier doesn't automatically make them a bad ass (as obvious from watching this video). Soldier learned his lesson...now he feels like a little b*tch...

    Both cops were completely out of line. They stepped to the soldier first. Both officers are old, out of shaped,bitter and need to be reprimanded or even get the boot out of the force.

What a scumbag

    The Taxpayer merely stated a truth, it took 45min.for the cops to arrive. (later, the swear word used by him, one time should of been met by a specific warning to curb his language. The Officer did step forward, towards the taxpayer and the taxpayer did step forward to the officer, (aggression is not a crime.) the Officer clearly over stood his authority by then striking the taxpayer in a manner that was unmitigated. Here the Officer was wrong & should be charge for assault.
