you might imagine there'd be some level of response that left room for escalation when involved with such situations, and also a response to the complaints of the attacked after the situation is ended, but apparently not, as this shows;


Cocke County, TN — A Tennessee man is filing a lawsuit after police body camera footage recorded his brutal assault which left him severely injured. What’s more, until the body camera footage was discovered, the official police version of events claimed that the man deserved it. However, this was a complete fabrication.
Local media obtained the body camera footage this week showing Jerry Miller being booked into Cocke County jail. According to police, Miller was arrested for pulling the phone cord out of the wall when his girlfriend was dialing 911 during a verbal altercation. He was charged with interfering with a 911 call. Police and Miller’s girlfriend both admitted that at no time did Miller get violent.
As the video shows, when Miller was being booked into jail, he is entirely compliant. When it came time to take his mugshot, however, he began to verbally protest. Never once did he physically resist.
As he’s led to the wall to take his photo, Miller utters an obscenity and says, “you ain’t getting my picture.”
At this point, a cop who appears to weigh at least 300 pounds comes out and begins manhandling Miller. The entire ordeal is being recorded by the original arresting officer’s body camera.
When the massive officer tries to take Miller’s wallet out of his pocket, Miller verbally protests once more, saying “You don’t get my wallet.” The correctional officer responds “Yeah, I get your wallet.”.........https://thefreethoughtproject.com/handcuffed-elderly-man-broken-ribs/
