video: plain clothes cops vs shoplifter

[Lama Pai Sifu]

I agree, the punching was unnecessary, but sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do? Who knows what the perp would have done, if they gave him the opportunity?

The not breathing part? C'mon, how do you yell that you are not breathing, if you can't breath??

Definatly poorly trained security or police, either way.

I dont' think they were police, they didn't ask or search him for a weapon, which is the first thing you do.

Seems like a bunch of inexperienced guys.

On the other side, the guy was a fool for resisting.

Here is a message; DON'T RESIST THE POLICE. IT WILL ONLY MAKE MATTERS WORSE. Police have to live with potentialy dangerous situations every day, pulling over a vehicle, a shoplifter, local fight, etc. Anything could happen.

I've trained many police in the past - cut them a little slack, they have a hard job protecting us.
