Duluth, Minnesota Police Officer Richard Jouppi has been charged with assault after a surveillance video (below) showed him hitting a drunk 50-year-old man, Anthony Jon Jackson, in a wheelchair. The Duluth News Tribune reports that Officer Jouppi has been placed on paid administrative leave while an independent prosecutor investigates the Sept. 21 incident. Officer Jouppi and his partner arrested Jackson, who had allegedly been in two fights at his apartment complex, earlier that night. Police said Jackson is able to walk, but was in the wheelchair when officers arrived. The video shows Jackson asked by a female police staff member to remove his leather jacket. Jackson stands up and asks her, "Would you like me to throw it at you?" The female staff member says: "Throw it at me, see what happens."

[El Jefe]

Hit a cop, face the reprocussions.

[Donger]

It looks like he reached up into the cops face, no?

[El Jefe]

It looks like he reached up into the cops face, no?

He slapped the cop in the face.

[Donger]

He slapped the cop in the face.

Yeah, I saw that after watching it again. Not a very bright thing to do.

[bishop_74]

A. Don't ever assault a police officer.
B. Police officer obviously took that WAY to the next level. I am sure that by cuffing him and charging him it would have been just as affective as BEATING HIS ASS IN TO THE GROUND. He obviously let his temper get the best of him. Too bad because he will probably pay with his job.

[Sofa King]

Well you can't be letting these cripples walk all over you.

[KCUnited]

Shit gets wheel around the 8 second mark.

[Frazod]

I have no problem with that whatsoever. I'd have beat him worse.

[Iowanian]

Equally opportunity destroyer.

[Old Dog]

Don't want none? Don't start none.

Misleading news title much? It should read: dumbass gets a beatdown for smacking cop; additional beating for unnecessary use of wheelchair (drunk and stupid does not equal handicapped).

[Brock]

The guy kind of asked for it.

[Hammock Parties]

Cassel was in a wheelchair?

[Huffmeister]

That guy shouldn't take that sitting down.

[Ace Gunner]

Good thing he took control early.

[Brooklyn]

stupid alky should have known his roll.

[ModSocks]

Seems staged. You sure Pioli wasn't in on it?

[Crush]

Well, to be fair, the guy thought Cassel was a good QB.

[qabbaan]

Don't want none? Don't start none.

This

[Bwana]

Heh, I bet he doesn't hit a cop again.

[saphojunkie]

Well you can't be letting these cripples walk all over you.

[Phobia]

Yeah, I usually have those guys backs but this one looked a bit too intense. I was okay with flipping him over and putting him down or even a knee in the neck but the flurry of punches immediately following the slap were excessive. This dude is going to fry for it.

[COchief]

This is total bullshit, the guy in the wheelchair isn't even crippled allegedly. Like anyone would say anything if it was an able bodied man (which he is apparently) that punched a cop and got his ass beat. He clearly was resisting arrest from the start and then punches the cop in the face. The cop decked him until he became submissive and even kept his cool (immediately stating: "shut up back up, I'll arrest you too").

I am seriously starting to get enraged with this country's media, all they do anymore is troll the idiot population. So if I get a wheelchair and sit in it I can do whatever I want?

[Fumblerooski]

Looks like the cop was trying to tip him over by bending his arm back before the slap... Would I have slapped the officer? No.. But he was excessive prior to the slap and subsequent beating..

[HC_Chief]

So if I get a wheelchair and sit in it I can do whatever I want?

Kinda...a cop will beat your ass to a bloody pulp if you slap him, but the media will spin the title to make it appear he gave 1000 kittens cancer. ;)

[jd1020]

I really don't care if he was crippled or not. If you assault an officer you better be ready to dance.

I am always curious what the partner in these situations is thinking, though. They are caught between a rock and a hard surface. They can't really intervene without throwing their partner under the bus. Like the youtube video of a male officer wrestling a guy on the ground and having the suspect under control, for the most part, while his dumb bitch female partner is bashing the suspects face in with her baton. I wonder what the male officer was thinking.

[TheSourceX1]

Is it a shadow, or did this cripple pirate just get his ass kicked for slapping a cop.

[COchief]

while his dumb bitch female partner is bashing the suspects face in with her baton. I wonder what the male officer was thinking.

Ha, link please?

"Ready to dance" was also glorious.

[jd1020]

I don't see any issues with what she did at all.

[jd1020]

Racist.

[Phobia]

I didn't either. All that dude had to do was lay down on the ground. I don't really have much issue with outmatched females or smaller cops beating somebody into submission. I also acknowledge that the guy in the chair was presumably somewhat able bodied. But his head was on a tee for that cop to pummel. I know the moron shouldn't have slapped the cop and I guess the cop will probably get off because he was assaulted first but for me, a weak ass slap doesn't equal an ass pummeling with fists especially when the cop has the advantage of leverage and power when the guy is sitting in a chair. But that's just me and I'm probably technically wrong according the the letter of the law.

[COchief]

Racist.

Jesus, I need to pay more attention before I give someone rep.

Just because that dipshit was yelling "OK and ALRIGHT" he was still resisting. I am pretty sure police are instructed to subdue a resisting suspect by whatever means necessary. What was she supposed to do? What if the suspect got his hands on the wrestling officers gun and killed them both.

If you don't want an ass beating, submit to the police when arrested. Why is that so difficult to understand?

[Donger]

Racist.

I presume you are kidding.

He was resisting up until the point where she whacked him in the head. Up until that point I don't care, but after she got a clean shot in he was done and on his back, no longer resisting, but she still continued. She says "roll over" yet she fails to realize that her partner is planted on top of him preventing him from doing so and because he doesn't she continues to hit him.

He was clearly instructed to roll over and seemed to be resisting.

[jd1020]

He can't roll over. The only thing he is doing while he is on his back is trying to protect himself from a baton. I'm one of the last people to throw a cop under the bus on this forum and I'll throw her under the bus any day of the week.

[KChiefer]

What did the 5 fingers say to the face?

Sma...I"M SORRY, I"M SORRY!!!

[Bob Dole]

I have no problem with that whatsoever. I'd have beat him worse.

Exactly. Some dumbass wants to take a shot at Bob Dole's face, the shit is on.

Asshole who has probably milked the chair for all it is worth for years got his due.

[Cannibal]

The cop should be fired immediately. If a cop can't control his temper, especially against a drunken weakling like that, he doesn't have the temperament for the job.

Did anyone else hear, "STAY DOWN BITCH!" in that video?

[Bob Dole]

Your account has been suspended until you attend mandatory sensitivity training. The fact that the individual in the video is sitting in an assistive device has no bearing on his physical strength or abilities.

Please check your email for further instructions.

[Cannibal]

It's not about sensitivity. It about being to perform the role of a police officer without losing your cool under any circumstances. That person failed miserably.

[Cannibal]

He should probably be in construction, or some other type of manual labor that is not involved with the general public.

[Simply Red]

Shit gets wheel around the 8 second mark.

It gets wheelie wheel around 15 second mark

[Bob Dole]

You called another human being a weakling.

You need sensitivity training.

We are all exactly the same.

Do you have any idea how many people I have buried under concrete around this town?

[Spott]

I laughed when I saw this video, but 2 minutes later Winston tweeted that I was an insensitive jerk for finding humor in this.

The fucker called a press conference on me. :D

[hometeam]

OK so, he punched a cop in the face.

Just like the cop said, just becuase your in a wheelchair means you get to bitchslap a cop? Nope.

[wutamess]

Both of these people got exactly what they deserved.

So freaking sick of people playing victim.
Here's an idea. Don't slap a cop or fight a cop and you want have "excessive force" your direction.

Bet they won't do that shit again.

[Cannibal]

Do you have any idea how many people I have buried under concrete around this town?

Ha, good point

[petegz28]

Don't hit the cop but the Cop took it a little to far. Nothing I'd fret over but still
