Jesus wept. That was so much worse than I thought it was gonna be. That cop should be dragged behind a horse outside the city limits.

He moved his wrist 15cm, that gives me all the justification i need because he "resisted" so now i get to give him life long brain injuries without any consequences for me.

That should be seen as attempted murder. Smashing somebody on his head like that literally can kill anyone immediately.

This was from 2017. Here's the latest I could find: https://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/huntington-settles-lawsuit-over-officers-leg-sweep-takedown/article_7bec81c8-6a53-541f-a466-93d200bf9f1d.html

...the city of Huntington settled the case in December for $17,500. The civil charges against [Officer Dakota] Dishman were dismissed prior to the settlement and he was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing after an investigation by the FBI.

So, as usual, the cop walks free and the people pay for it.

I doubt that this cop had any left before.

It doesn't provide any details other than saying he hit his head. Honestly the article is kind of one sided, quoting the city's attorney but not the plantiff.
