text: I'm sure the suspect is well-acquainted with the law...all the more reason the officer should not have lost control of that gentleman after he had already established control by putting him in handcuffs. And why should not the police be aware that police procedures are so "predictable?" What you say reflects poorly on the officer...who apparently allowed himself to be distracted from a cop-wise perp. All I said was that the officer lost control of a suspect over whom he had already established control. All you are doing is making excuses for the officer....for "losing control of the situation."
