It is not the responsibility of a police officer to give anyone what they deserve. That's the job of the courts. In this case, I think that the officers overreacted, emotion aside.

But obviously the driver should receive the harshest penalty possible for running and endangering an officer's life.

It would make him a lot less sympathetic character to the judge if cops didn't then beat the crap out of him.

God blessed me with seeing 2 sides of a story. One if it were my friends who this man was trying to run off the road, not to mention strangers as well….without an officer uniform I would want to knock him out. However, that is the responsibility of a police officer….to lay down personal agendas and do a clearly defined job. I guess I wonder how many people out there could beat an unconscious person even after the posts about how they think this guy deserved it. Not many people would beat a man who cant fight back and the ones who would sure shouldnt be police officers in the first place.

A little excessive but he needs to be tried for attempted murder on a police officer!
I personally think due to the circumstances they did a good job!
Now what this scumbag is going to sue for big bucks?
What a country!
