They don't take kindly to horsethiefs around them parts.

In other news, an athletics umpire was arrested after allegedly shooting a black athlete with a starting pistol.









Investigators believe it was race related

NSAman

Didn't you see he was resisting arrest..:)

They must be using that arcachic 1830s law that lets you bushwack a horse rustler at high noon.

He could easily have got up, removed the taser barbs from his body, and thrown them into that brave officer.

Lucky escape for a hero.

Stealing a horse can really stirrup the emotions.

God, will they ever learn? You'd think all the news helicopters hovering over their heads would have been a clue they were being watched.

Was it this guy?

That was tough to watch. The first kick in, to the area of his head :eek: Can that be justified?

Depends what preceded it.

For me there is a huge difference between killing a person and trying to interfere with the crime scene, and wondering whether the force used on a fleeing suspect is proportionate. My sympathy for this man is limited.

Sugarlumps

But there so gentle on the tv series Cops, "mind your head sir" they mutter when placing the assailant into the back of a patrol car. Now here they are dancing a merry tune on his head.

Ah lol.. that dude at the end after you think it's all over. Deary deary me.... I can see some job vacancies soon at that cop shop and a big pay off for the horse thief. Such stupid behaviour by the police.

Fraudster
Identity thief
Flees from arrest
Steals a horse

Meh, he deserves a few digs

Arsemageddon

Could be he got a kicking from the fashion police for his all red ensemble being soooo last season.

That was some kick up the hole the second cop gave him, it'll be a few weeks before he can sit in the saddle again.

Half of East Belfast could be employed by the US police force...

He was trying to dissolve into the earth face first, and escape that way. You could tell by the way he wasn't moving.

the cop at the end who just runs in and kicks him in the side is a real hard man. he should get a medal for such bravery.

The Diabolical Monocle

Thief receives beating.

Good.

Mr Freeze

Watching the first cop kicking him, I thought that was going to be the extent of the video.

Then they all start, one fella even running in to kick him.

Unbelievable video, you would think it was a parody if you didn't know it was real.

He was probably off his face on red rum and bags of McCoy's....
