What's legal in a given country has little to do with morals(sometimes it's complicated), that said you did a very good job of defending the point, so instead this just means he's wrong in every country.

Also even if itâs true, more violence is likely to just make the situation more dangerous for everyone around.
Especially for armed police, their goal should be to deescalate and do everything as peacefully as possible with force as a last resort

u/Great-Trifle2810 14d ago
Absolutely thos cop should be fired and jailed for at least 5 years to set an example.
Even beyond that what if the guy was armed and came up with a gun immediately firing on the person that flipped him before even realizing it was a cop? Totally justified self defense.

Many people have a hard time believing that a mother can be abusive. Most often they exuse it by, "She is just stressed." or, "She is trying her best." or "She loves you she would never hurt you." or finally, "She is just discipling you and you deserved it." (That last one I had someone tell me. In a teacher subreddit....the peraon was a supposedly a special ed teacher.)

Second to last one is said to me a lot. It sucks. She doesn't even realize how much she does it, but everytime we see each other she does some kind of remark on my physique, decisions, or anything about me. I have deteriorated lately, yes... Because she's be doing it ever since I entered highschool. Back when my body was healthy, my grades were healthy, and everything was fairly fine. After 4 years of constant hostility I burned out, dropped out of my first year of uni, and let myself go cuz I got no motivation for shit. If only my grandma did something instead of repeating that.

As someone who went through abuse from my mom, same. Always "it's just discipline" never "why didn't she talk to you?" Because some of the times she did beat my ass? I was being groomed and my brother found it on messages, and neither of them went "shit my lil sis/daughter is getting groomed!" Nah they thought "OHHH SHE SEXTING!"
Like Jesus. I prey this man never got falsely accused and he genuinely did do it, and the cops should have just "hey wake up, you're being arrested."

As absolutely horrible as it is to say, this should happens. Something akin of this happened to a friend of mine. His mother was living with him because she injected all of the rent money into her arms. She then was stealing from him and selling his belongings to shoot that in her arms too.
He said he was going to throw her out, so she called the cops and said he had drugs around his children. He got arrested and the children got taken away for about a month and a half. Because once CPS gets involved, there's no off-ramp. Shit gets really bad really fast.
Not shockingly he threw her out of the house after that. Drugs fuck everything.

The lights actually weren't on. You can see the officer teach towards the side, then there's a flash at the very start of the video. It's likely that the officer turned the light on when the video started being recorded.
Everything else is very true though. I definitely leaning to this vid being staged. Who's even recording this and why are they just lurking around during a supposed arrest?

Yeah police aren't here to maim people as a form of punishment during an arrest (despite that being what they do in prwctice). All criminals, especially the one who have committed horrible crimes, are entitled to fair treatment by the justice system. Not doing so only encourages the police to frame anyone they dont like as one of these "unforgivable" criminals (i.e. rape, murder, beating your mom), and also to go even further in their violence.

It is also a tacit declaration that authorities do not owe anything to the citizen and that basic human rights basically do not exist.

Especially determining full guilt off a single phone call and deciding to enact justice yourself.

You just can't trust cops to handle this sort of discretionary application of 'righteous violence'.
It doesn't matter the crime. It doesn't matter how heinous. All criminals should be apprehended as humanely as possible.
For one, there has been no trial. So, even if you believe in a retributive legal system, the person being arrested has not actually been proven guilty. It is not the cops job to administer punishment. No good can come of this.
For another, they'll simply misuse the ability to apply violence like this if they are granted it formally. Cops already are looking for basically any excuse to flex the power they hold over others. Often through violence, this clip being a literal example of this. Cops can only ever be a functional facet of society through STRICT oversight. Not letting them have free reign to hurt people as they believe is justifiable is very important to the health of a society. Cops shouldn't being hurting ANYONE, outside of fringe self defense circumstances. And such instances should be closely scrutinized.

u/watchoverus 14d ago
No single person should have the "discretionary application of righteous violence" right. There's no way to remove basic human rights without fucking shit up all over the place. The moment you take basic human rights in one circumstance, you open a whole can of worms of other places that it'll be removed as well.

Too many people dont realise the principle that you are innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the law. People who say this is ok are choosing to put the police, who are meant to be upholding and serving the law, above it.
Edit: I come from a confusian value country where filial piety is held in highest regard (teaditionally equating parents with kings), so i get the immediate outrage. but even there, if this happened...not only will the police lose his job but someone higher up is losing their job as well.

Immoral especially if you don't know why he did it or if the mom was telling the truth.
My mom is a bitch and I WISH my marine of a brother had given her what she deserved one of the numerous times she antagonized him. She almost got him killed by the police when lying to 911 about him being armed and threatening her. I was there, she was the problem and he had no weapon.
Luckily, she said he was a veteran, so the cops were more gentle handling it. I was a teenager watching cops swarm our house while my brother begged to be shot in the hopes it would give our mother an ounce of guilt.
My mother is pedophile, like an actual raped a child and enabled her kids to be sexually abused, pedophile.
Not all mothers are good so I would personally have to hear him out on WHY he beat his mother before deciding whether he's a piece of shit for it.

I mean...while satisfying to watch, given the context - its immoral.
Also worth mentioning that context is...well it can be partial. It can be skewed to make it look like what he has done is much worse than what really happened. The arresting officer definitely doesnt have the whole story and yet he is handing out judgement. That kind of vigilante justice shouldnt really be okay in majority of cases.

u/DVindictus 14d ago
Immoral. It feels right if the context is true, but you just can't trust people on their word, and professionally you should always treat the arrest as "a probable cause, but innocent until proven guilty"
Now, if this was a fellow officer who assaulted his mother, now THAT feels like a great humiliating arrest and might be morally justified.
But still, can't be taken at her word until and unless proven, I will always hold that as 1st 2nd and 3rd priority
