I wouldn't.
I think it's terrifying the police can do something like that and be cleared of it after an investigation. How is the public supposed to trust an institution like that?
cops are supposed to be professionals...

Yeah your right, the cops should be able to kill anyone, and then lie about the reason they did. Give me a break!
The whole point of a court system is to take time and consideration to determine beyond a reasonable doubt that someone is guilty of an alledged crime. I know in this instance it was oubvious that he was guilty, but what about the other instances where someone appeared guilty when they were not. Should the police have that much power, of deciding whether or not someone lives? No! Of course not. ''Absolute power corrupts absolutely''.

Anyway who knows the circumstances the guy probably resisted arrest and they went overboard on the restraining.
Went overboard on the restraining!?
Thats not what you call going overboard on the restraining thats called nearly beating a man to death. Those cops as you call them (i find it weird to use the word) were extremely unprofessional and very lucky. However, if I was heading an inquiry into the incident I would probably be unproffessional and turn a blind eye. If it happened to a friend of mine under the circumstances it appeared to an I could get away with it and I had the balls i'd execute him in as quick and painless a manner as possible.
Would save a hell of a lot of hassle, food, money and space.
s.a.f said:Well you dont actually know what happenend either do you, this guy murdered one of their friends in a crowded courtroom, do you think he would have come quietly with no resistance? Knowing what he was capable of resorting to no doubt the cops would have used maximum force if not for revenge then to simply lower the risk of them ending up dead like the other cop.
Make no mistake this guy would surely would'nt have hesitated to kill again to escape.
