When drunk, just put your hands behind your back for cuffing. You will wake up later. Maybe with a hangover, but you'll wake up.

A fight with a man with a gun will last less than 30 seconds, and you will lose.

He did the right thing.

Someone needs to find that cop and set it right.

I am a retired FF sorry but the PO did the right thing do you think a cop asks what you do for a living while you are bashing his face in.

Look at the video again guys. The guy was not a threat to anyone and the cop was the aggressor. He was getting his face bashed in because he started something he couldn't finish without his little friend. The guy on the ground was in the wrong too, for sure, but it could and should have been handled very differently and would have been handled differently by a respectable cop.

this cop was working a second job as security, in his police uniform, when he left his post and confronted this ff.

Initially, the ff ran away. How they met up again, Im not sure.

The cop hit the ff first, as you can hear the ff tell the cop in the video he should not have hit him. The ff goes on to say he was just asking the cop to be nice.

This cop started a brawl and got overpowered. The ff then began punching the cops face and slamming cops face on the sidewalk.

The cop shot, and killed, the ff out of self defense. However, the cop should never have let this situation escalate to that point.

He knew other cops were on the way. He should have waited for backup to arrive, IF he should have placed himself in this scene at all.

But it's all too late now. Cop is in hospital and ff is dead, on his wedding day. Both were wrong, but one is dead.

More will come out in a courtroom as I am sure the newly widowed bride will file a lawsuit.
