1. WTF???

Throw away the keys

[PD Turk]

2. If it was my family

It would've taken more than one cop

3. He got a promotion:

5. The rewards of bad behavior

This guy is dangerous

6. And this is why people say, 'never trust cops'.

9. No sh*t! n/t

[sakabatou]

10. Seriously?

Is charged with anything or being awarded for this?

4. All in a day's work...

I'm taking odds that the cop gets off. Disgusting.

7. Before reading further, I am going to venture a guess that the cop was white and family was

black or Hispanic.

Off to go find out now.......

Well they were white. That is actually pretty amazing.

14. Montgomery County is also pretty well mostly white

or at least perceived that way by the rest of us in Harris County. It's also mostly rural, with plenty of people moving from Houston to live in the exurbs (because their former 2-hour daily commute wasn't long enough, I guess.)

When I saw Montgomery County was involved, I was no longer nearly as surprised.

12. whoa. other cops just hold him down file the big fat cop kicks him over and over. Attempted murder

15. In my experience constables are the worst LEOs in Texas

Constables are elected positions. Some counties only have the one elected constable, but large counties like Harris will have an elected constable for each precinct and several deputies under them. They tend to have the least training and oversight for all LEOs and for some counties the deputies tend to make less than other LEOs. Their primary responsibility is to serve warrants and other documents for the court and most of them used to be limited to that function, but now they can do most anything any LEO can do. The Barney Fife factor is pretty high with these guys.

17. It's that way in a lot of places

Las Vegas, for instance.

16. I seriously expected a story from the Onion. Wow. nt
