UWO arrest October 14 2009

I posted this as a witness to the event, from the scene, not because of any agenda. Here are some links and comments I should have posted earlier.

Three important notes:
1. Many things occurred before the taping began. I witnessed the suspect refusing to comply and attempting to push his way through the officers. This behavior continued outside and was only partially captured in the either the first or second video.
2. I believe the police response was justified and reasonable based on what I witnessed. The suspect's arm was underneath him and the police were trying to free the arm, he was clearly not complying. When the suspect got up, he did not look visibly injured or in a state worse than when he struggled to the ground.
3. All universities have the potential to be sheltered from the diverse situations that exist in the community at large. I recorded the event to document it, but this intent was lost through its dissemination. I apologize for any or all problems that this created.

campus security is not police....they are just like bouncers at a club...bunch of thugs...couldn't become police...so I am not surprised...give batons to thugs and well you see the results...

I don't know what the guy did to get jumped by 50 cops like this, and I don't know if he was dangerous, or armed, or whatever.. but be real.. when he was laying there under that pile of cops and that one cop was giving him non-stop punches.. that was definitely not necessary. He even wanted to get a kick in there lol what assholes!

London Police officer Darrin Brown is pathetic

[peter townsend]

No, I was there too, he was having a psychological attack and the officers attempted to detain him to prevent anything worse from happening. They went too far and were unwilling to listen to people advising them as to the situation. Irresponsible and ignorant behavior typical of London P.D and London RCMP.

Before you say any more theoretical things that didn't happen but state them anyways as form of defence to back your previous dumass comment up, get a proper education and maybe a few linguistic classes so that it leaves out the possibility of the world finding out that you're a typical idiot. Ya, suck my cock buddy

[catcatcat5]

sweet comeback, you get your education from Brock Nigga?

How is this top comment?

Campus police at UWO are members of the London Police Department and are not like bouncers at a club. They are police officers with all the powers, responsibilities, and restrictions as any other officer in London.

Actually, he didn't do anything that severe. I don't know the guy personally but I was a freshman then at the university. I heard that he got drunk and entered a classroom, then refused to leave the classroom when the prof asked him to. The campus police just took things a little too far. They deal with drunk individuals all the time at our school, they should have had the experience to handle the situation appropriately.
