Denton shouldn't be fired for beating someone to a pulp under color of law, he should be languishing in prison alongside the people who's lives he's ruined.

The video does NOT show "he tried to bite one of the officers", that was just something one of them said for the benefit of the camera. Same with the justification that the suspect was repeatedly hit in the face because an officer "thought" the suspect "might" spit. He didnt. In each, police tried to use their own paranoid fears and mis-perceptions to justify their use of force.

Undertsand your comments aleman and fox23 fully. But that doesn't make it ok for the cops to elbow, hit, kick the man after he is arrested and in handcuffs. Did he deserve to go to jail? YES but all that other hitting and stuff thats police brutality. And fell on stairs?? I call BS!! You see when they put him in the police car he wasn't beat up at all...then you have a shut eye and bruises all over? Cop should never be on the force again. Was this guy a POS? yes and prolly deserves to get beat up BUT your an OFFICER of the LAW and you handle things diffrently then street thugs! REAL TALK!!

This cop should be fired, he is suppose to be a professional. If we allow these cops to get away with this kind of stuff they will continue to think they are above the law. I can't go to work and beat someone up because the look at me wrong. He needs to be held accountable and needs to be fired. The mayor and city council needs to make sure this criminal cop never carries a badge or gun again. If he beats my *&% like that I would come after him.
