   Of course he pled not guilty…to plead anything else would have not put any money in any attorney’s pocket…such a farce!

   Please look at the very first part of the tape as the officer is coming into the booking area. it looks as if the arrested subject is resisting and struggling with the officer. Just because a person is cuffed does not mean they can not fight an officer. I was not there so I’m not going to rush to judge ALSO WE HAVE S.A. BILL EDDINS WHO HAS NEVER BEEN PRO LAW ENFORCEMENT. HE ENJOYED THE HIGH PROFILE BILLINGS CASE LOOKING TOWARD THE NEXT ELECTION—COULD THIS BE THE SAME THING? (Voice of reason—get real)

   Detainees and inmates are sometimes catagorized. Sometimes officailly and sometimes not. It is reported that the entire incident was captured on video. Well, maybe not. This detainee, who we are lead to believe is an upstanding law abiding tax payer, went through a couple of doors to get to the point that this camera picked him up. LEO’s do a bunch of paperwork. I’s dotted and t’s crossed. The video may not be the key evidence, and unless he pleas out, it may not be an easy conviction. To say that the video would walk off is just stupid. It is on the web.

   First, don’t misunderstand the following comments…..I do not agree with officers abusing detainees….

   No one saw what happened prior to this video…..the deputy may have been hit, bitten, spit on, etc. LEOs take a lot of crap from detainees!!! Sometimes they reach their breaking point.

   I, again, am not saying this is acceptable behavior. LEOs must maintain professionalism. Often, the media ‘exposes’ partial truths. This deputy looks small on the video….he may have had to wrestle this perp….he may have ‘little man syndrome’….who’s to say???? There’s really not enough info to know the whole story.

   From what is shown, the deputy is dead wrong…..what have we not seen???
   If you were the deputy, wouldn’t you want the public to have a little faith that there is more to the story?

   All law enfrcement officers should be held accountable. I definately understand that they have to deal with some of society’s finest almost daily but they also have to realize they are human also. I fully support the law in doing their job but I do not support excessive treatment to a detainee regardless what they may have been charged with.

   There sure has been a lot of Deputies being arrested lately. When are they going to get that there being recorded most of the time. I think Mr. McNesby needs to explain this a little better.

   Provided the key evidence (video tape of him slamming the detainee to the ground face first) doesn’t grow legs and disappear, should be an easy conviction by a jury of his peers.
