Dude was doing the Ellen DeGeneres dance challenge. Gets tossed to the ground, in the street like a peasant. Wonder if Ellen sticks up for her fan?

I think we need Police-Police. These Police-Police aren't allowed to target normal citizens in any way. They are only allowed to arrest and build up reports on cops. If they don't produce then they are fired. Give the cops a taste of their own medicine.

Why wasn't this cop charged for assaulting a man??? Is he a noble and the rest of us are peasants?? I don't get why pig-cops (not to be confused with honorable cops) get free reign over us unless its snuff rank extreme and caught on camera.
 
If you walk up behind someone who is minding their own business and start doing weird stuff you shouldn't be surprised if someone clocks you in the kisser. It's like sitting in the back seat of the car, licking your finger and sticking it toward (but not in) your brother's ear. It's infantile, antagonistic crap and if it gets answered with a swift kick in the seat of the pants then so be it.
 
Not that I believe the police were right, but why did they edit out the guys replies to what the cop was saying?

I don't think people should be doing weird stuff behind anyone's back. However, if you know that someone isn't doing any harm, you have no right to assault them.

If you're the idiot who gets caught doing something stupid then your best option (assuming you don't want to get tuned up) is to apologize profusely and sincerely. If you choose to keep up the "I wasn't doing anything" crap then dad is perfectly right to pull the car over and let you walk until you can figure out how to behave. If it's anyone else then, as I said before, a foot to the ass isn't the least bit inappropriate.

Acting like a fool is not a crime, apologizes are not required by law, and cops aren't authorized to assault people they aren't arresting. Cops had the authority to ask the fool what he was doing, but were out of bounds by tossing him on the ground.
 
It does appear from outside that US cops have a "Shoot first, ask questions later!" attitude. Or as in this case "throw them to the floor and cuff them" before discussion of any problem. "On the ground!" seems to be the first thing an American cop says to anyone. A British cop will take you down, no problem, but you have to say or do something very offensive, try to make off, or at least take a swing at one before they respond in that way.

I don't think now is the time to be acting the ass around a cop.

Crazy! I found an extended version below, showing multiple people, even including NYPD traffic cops at about :36, either laughing or not even reacting. I understand the tension but after he explains the situation there was no reason at all for them to push him or treat him the way they did.

What a sad apologist. A cop should be held to higher standards than regular folk. Who gives a **** if he was being silly, idgaf even if he was out rightly mocking the police, they're "trained" individuals who should be able to put up with crap instead of going insane at any sign of disrespect.

Sooo basically you want the populace to be groveling peasants. This cop just and all his buddies standing around, not arresting the assaultive cop are pretty much the reason America is starting to revolt against the cops that act like dominating trivial pigs and their pseudo-submissive pack. You are staring at the problem. Cop shoves a man into the street and you chose to chastise the silly guy... Sure. What he did was stupid. But what the cop did was FAR more stupid and foolish.

Do you blame Ellen? I mean look at all the people doing it with no trouble at all, just a harmless prank, I don't think you should be assaulted over it.

There wasn't anything insane about what they did.
 
So the Ellen Show set this up and was filming as this idiot went up behind and in front of various people and started dancing like a fool. The Show was not looking to have anything outrageous happen, no. They weren't trying to provoke something in order to have a good piece of video to show, no.

The only real disrespect here is on the part of the Ellen Show and her staff. Another example of the entitlement attitude being discussed on another thread where people assume they can do whatever the **** they want regardless of whether or not they affect anyone else.

You've obviously never watched the Ellen Show, have you? My wife is a big fan, so I've seen it an unfortunate number of times.

Well if you just cant under any circumstances defer some respect to the authority of the officer. I have no sympathy.

Authority to what? Cast people to the ground with force like they are a peasant after the cop knows that nothing is wrong? The cop had a fit of grumpiness and assaulted this man. If a person threw a cop to the ground like that they would be in prison.

Why would I blame Ellen? She didn't force the guy to go out and be an idiot and damned sure didn't say anything about doing this behind a cops back.

Now, as far as the "assault" goes. All the cops did was push the jackass away and he happened to trip. For all the cops knew he was trying to distract them from something else and I have no problem at all with their response.

Yep. If they don't have the mental fortitude to act noble they shouldn't have the job. Why would anyone have any respect for a guy that hurls people to the ground like this as he ok's the guy to leave? Why is the cop not arrested for assault??? Plz awnser me this. If I hurl a cop to the ground I go to prison. If a person has been found to commit no crime, and the cops let them go but purposely cast them to the ground as a goodbye..... nothing happens. Why are you ok with this?
