here we go again… cop punches guy, video goes viral, 'investigation' announced. same old cycle.

Blake Turner2026-07-11T01:22:09.000Z

just wait till the full story comes out. you'll look silly

Isla Cooper2026-07-11T01:09:09.000Z

wtf is wrong with police? never seen a cop punch someone in the head when they're already on the ground. this is sickening.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-11T01:47:09.000Z

same old wannabe activists jumping on everything

Hayden Kelly2026-07-11T01:26:09.000Z

he was resisting? nah but that looks excessive. should've used other tactics. not a good look for the boys in blue.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-11T01:44:09.000Z

typical. let's wait for the full story before grabbing pitchforks. camera angles can be deceiving.

nah, if it was your mate you'd be screaming

Isla Cooper2026-07-11T02:27:09.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, video doesn't lie

Luca Reid2026-07-11T01:54:09.000Z

poor bloke. hope he's okay. police need better training for situations like this.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-11T02:43:09.000Z

lol cope. they always circle the wagons

River Cole2026-07-11T02:07:09.000Z

anyone got a link to the actual video? not seeing it on RNZ. they always crop stuff out.

Blake Turner2026-07-11T02:34:09.000Z

Hamilton cops at it again. ffs can we have one month without a scandal?

Isla Cooper2026-07-11T02:50:09.000Z

this is why ppl don't trust the police. body cam footage should be released immediately.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-11T03:14:09.000Z

waiting for the police association to say 'we have full confidence in the officer' lmao

River Cole2026-07-11T03:49:09.000Z

exactly. always some excuse

Hayden Kelly2026-07-11T03:44:09.000Z

unpopular opinion: policing is hard as guts. but this clip doesn't look good. needs proper investigation.

Luca Reid2026-07-11T04:10:09.000Z

let's just hope the inquiry is actually independent this time
