Prince George's Officer Is Acquitted of Assault
Handcuffed Suspect Was Hit With Baton

A Prince George's County police officer who used his metal baton to hit a handcuffed suspect was acquitted of assault yesterday by jurors who watched a videotape of the incident and decided that the use of force was justified.

A camera in Addis's patrol car recorded Addis repeatedly kicking Bullock and striking him with the baton as other officers tried to handcuff him. The tape shows Addis hitting Bullock with the baton and kneeing him after he was handcuffed and on the ground.

..........juror Ed Oblas, 47, of Bowie, said outside the courthouse. And although Bullock was handcuffed, Oblas said, "he was not under control."

Another juror, Bob Holbrook, 46, of Landover Hills, said he believed Addis's testimony that Bullock was a threat. He said he thought the videotape showed Bullock to be out of control. "We were just concerned with what happened on the tape," he said.

Belsky, the defense attorney, said in his closing argument Wednesday that Addis's actions were in keeping with police procedure...... "Everything he did was perfect police training."

1. Looks ok to me.

The guy was not cooperating and he got whacked a few times. Big deal. From his original position when the officer arrived you have no idea what he's doing, what he might be reaching for so you act accordingly. After he's cuffed he still is resisting so he got a few more. It's all split second decision making for the officers that put their lives on the line, I'm siding with the officer. It's really easy to avoid getting beat up by law enforcement. Just "Yes sir" and "No sir" them to death and never make a threatening gesture. The jury made the right choice.

2. Oh no...

3. BTW, why pick the meanest looking pic of my man, Wes?

4. Some of the clark people

are quick to advocate/approve violence, and they seem to believe Clark shares that view. It was one of the big reasons I didn't support him - not because of clark, but because of half of his followers.

6. What I think about this issue has nothing to do with Wes Clark.

Or other Clarkies. I side with the police most of the time because I know what it's like for them. Some people here are too quick to condemn the police and take up for the criminals.

7. I'm just calling it like it is

Never said it had anything to do directly with clark - just I notice the link. I still remember some of his supporters asking for him to wear military uniform while on the campaign and if elected.

[MrSlayer]

8. Sure you want him in the military uniform.

This election was about war and national security and he was a great Military leader. It would only diminish the Chimp.

5. You think he looks mean in that?

I thought he looked Presidential.

10. It looks like he had been in an accident. They ran up and started kicking

him. Am i missing something?

9. He kneed a handcuffed man in the CROTCH.

WTF Three times
