Video appears to show LMPD officer striking man with flashlight

Having ones hand on your neck can be considered deadly face so can being punched in the face since people have been knocked down and died from striking their heads. Defending yourself with a flashlight strike to the head, especially one like this officer did can be warranted in the situation depicted.

You seem like a typical LMPD liberal, afraid to use force and hang those who do type of person. So just stay safe behind your desk and let those that can go forth and fight crime.

Would this have made the news if it was a video of an Officer getting punched in the head?? Get drunk, fight the Police, you lose, go to hospital then jail.
