In February of 2022, at a high school basketball game in West Virginia, a Princeton police officer attacked a beloved local coach who suffers from bone cancer. Caught on camera from multiple angles. He suffered a fractured knee.

Thanks for the input. Yes the last view shows the lack of justification for violence. Even if there was justification to make an arrest/seizure, which there wasn’t, that’s not justification for a violent use of force. In my opinion of course. The officer can attempt to articulate his justifications, and we’ll see how it plays out.
You get the government that you accept. We in Australia have lost our courage to demand freedom. It seems that the people of the USA have also lost their courage to demange freedom. This is yet another example of government oppression. The socialist domination of the media seems to be a common influencial factor.

I heard messing with bones that has cancer in it can make it spread faster (if cancer in bone broken). Hope that didnt happen!!
I really hope this coach filed a lawsuit against the police department and the the city there's no reason for this behavior and it needs to stop qualified immunity needs to stop and all the money that the lawsuits get needs to start coming out of the cops paychecks and retirement funds that's the only way it's ever going to stop I hope he sues for at least 2 million
Another citizen getting paid! And as I always say, until the settlement funds start coming out of the cops pockets and pensions nothing will change.
so the guy was faculty in that school system and he was thrown on hard court for doing his job?
how come so many cops were there?
need to look hard at copper, his history.
My husband died from bone cancer. It is horrible. I'm horrified!
For a start u can't resist cops and a lot of vids show where the cops wrap their arms around a complying person and fling them to the ground. The person has no protection when slammed to the ground, road or pavement in these gutless attacks and it doesn't matter about age or gender or whether wheelcair bound.
Cops just can't resist violence when the opportunity arises.
But of course, nothing will happen, but taxpayers being at fault will foot the bill.
Violent inhuman animal.
Go get them. Asshole cop needs to loose job and spend some time with the people that he has probably done that to also. Hope the best for you.
I saw a guy helping to prevent an escalation get assaulted by a cop. Then to find out that the blokes got bone cancer, what kind of scum do you need to be to attack someone one who has cancer under any circumstances? /mutters something about "room IQ" cops…
Can't see enough, but was the victim what the cops referred as the right color for easy arrest.
Well I guess if you're in debt or down some financial rabbit hole you should spend some time in West Virginia and get yourself a lawsuit
KKK GONNA KKK
They need to use the tactic bees use on wasps where they crowd around and vibrate really fast to overheat the wasp to death😂
I'm confused, why exactly are there cops at a high school basketball game in the first place? Is this an American tradition 🤔
At my two high schools, other Sport Coaches came to the games,to help with crowd control before and after the games.No cops were needed.They helped with cleaning up if the janitor was super busy with a lot of messes.
Absolutely should not touch him or harm him for no reason. Cop needs jail
Are you saying "Grand factors" or " Gram Factors"?
I would have stopped the cop using what ever force necessary to stop the attack.
IF I SAW THIS THE COPS WOULD NEED A HOSPITAL
I feel the officers use excessive force I feel sorry for the coach teacher a good upstanding human being getting treated like an animal that officer have to answer for his actions
Before anything even happened, I was wondering why are all these people walking all over the court. They had no business there. When I played basketball, no one was allowed to walk all over the court. They had to file out along the sidelines.
Cops throw people down because it feeds their ego and sense of power over you. They are power driven.
Idk but the way that cop attacks him & then comes back after him, even after the sheriff intervened, makes it seem kinda personal. Like the cop had in for him for some reason. Maybe the coach cut the tyrants son from the soccer team and he saw his chance lol. I’m just spitballing……but why was the coach singled out?! No matter what, it’s disgusting behavior and there was no justification for laying hands on the man
There is no situation that the cops can't make worse.
seems like police like throwing CITIZENS on the ground. no way to arrest and handcuff without physical violence? or possibly just descalate a "non-crime".
What a bitch my grandfather died from bone cancer he was clearly not a threat this cop needs to go to prison
BULLLLLSHIT THIS IS ONE TIME I HAVE TO CALL
BULLLLLSHIT
IT FELL AFTER RUNNING IT S MOUTH
I HOPE HE DIDN T GET A CENT
Were it not for phone cameras . . .
Any body cams? Would like to know if the officer had said anything before pouncing on this man. What had the officers been told before going in there? Why were they even there?
I just got a ticket for speeding it was during traffic time and I was in between cars on the slow line going the same speed as everyone on the slow line and it was cars going faster on the left line when I ask the thug why he pull me out of everyone if I was doing the same speed as everyone in the slow line he told me he didn't see any other car on the road he said I was the only one and I can't question an officer of the law
Again, was this criminal, wearing a badge, arrested for his misbehavior?
When a LEO makes a decision that what people do in his presence that he/she THINKS is not what they want to happen, the high level of ignorance fueled by the ego makes violence the only available option. This is a prime reason for LEO employment to be psychologically evaluated for fitness to serve.
Makes me wonder if they had history.
Why in the hell didn't the crowd intervene and stop that scumbag cop????
More than three , you gotta flee. Same for the usual subjects on each side of the Morphed Blue Line of lack of civility. Now blame me for noticing.
Just shaking my head. Is there something in the water at the WV police stations that these guys are drinking to make then such walking time bombs?
It is his fault that the cops had to get him. You know I am making a fool out of the cop
