Pushing a citizen is a whole lot different than pushing a cop, especially while they are making an arrest on a warrant. It's not like the cops just showed up and decided to arrest her, there was a warrant and they were just doing their job. So I have no problem in charging battery when anybody pushes or shoves a cop. That being said, I seriously doubt he'll be prosecuted w/ a felony if his record is clean.

Not defending what JW did, as he should have known better and is responsible for the stupidity of his actions, but that cop comes off as a complete POS with some sort of ego/inferiority issue. Battery!?! Really? And yes I know it technically fits the definition, but give me a break and use some discretion.
And yes, I'm white.

LOL, really...you get all of that from an article? You weren't there...a very large man wasn't pushing you and threatening you was he? A cop has to treat any situation like it could turn violent/life threatening.
Once someone puts hands on a cop its over for them. If this is what happened the kid deserved to be arrested.

On what planet is it EVER ok to lay hands on a police officer?? He did hold a higher standard, Wilder didn't take an ass beating with him to jail. You put your hands on your dad or mom? You contradict yourself, and make no sense. You want the officer to carry a high standard, but don't want him to be treated the same way.
As an officer, if you have the balls to put your hands on someone carrying a taser & gun....you better believe I'm gonna take your a$$ serious and as a threat.

What? You mean you would take a 6'3" 230lb beast of a man pushing you when you were armed as a threat? I'm not sure why? lol

No doubt in my mind that " oh sh*t " went through that officers mind. Time to level the playing field and let him ride the lightning lol.

Look man, I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I apologize if I'm being unclear. I am NOT saying what Wilder did was ok by any stretch. I am NOT saying he shouldn't be punished to the fullest extent of the law according to what he did.
I AM saying that in my humble opinion, what he did shouldn't be considered BATTERY. I disagree with the officer who characterized it as such. That is ALL I am saying.

elder keep back peddling. We officers don't write the laws we enforce them and we sure as hell don't deserve to be struck in any way. That officer, who has to consider officer safety every second of the day he is on the job because we are being killed by the people we try to protect everyday in this country. You are wrong sir, your blaming the officer for doing his freaking job and Wilder is lucky that he didn't get his ass beat. One second your getting pushed, screamed at and cussed and the next there are ten more people coming out from all directions attacking you so pulling his taser and arresting his ass in a proffessional manner is exactly what that officer did. He did nothing wrong. He was pushed that is battery or assault end of freaking story!

I understand ya'll are late to the party and all, but elder did kind of recant the way he views it now. He wasn't taking all things into consideration and admitted it. We can get off his back now....

arrest
More and more I realize how useful it can be for recruits to get out of populous areas (Florida) and refine their craft in a smaller college town, like Tuscaloosa.
I really wanted this guy - physical freak that Saban would've gotten full potential of.

Obviously you have never been to Tallahassee. It's more "Alabama" than "Florida." Not defending anything..... just pointing out, I live in Tallahassee and went to school at Alabama, and I have seen plenty of shenanigans in both places.

Exactly.......Ride the lightning lil man haha. Exactly what I'd do. you hesitate trying to give someone that size the benefit of the doubt then you end up dead or severaly injured if it isn't a college kid losing temporary control of his emotions.

meh...that's up to prosecutors and perhaps a jury to determine now isnt it. I don't know the definition of "battery" in florida so I can't speculate but I'm going to assume the officer knows it better than I do.
