Meeting force with equal force is not escalation...... and I stand by what I said earlier. Don't start no shit there don't be no shit. If you act like a dick to a person, cop or not, expect to be treated like a dick. Simple equation.
Question for you: Is a cop an authority figure or not? Are they employed with the intent of enforcing the law or not?
You can stand by your incorrect statement from earlier as much as you please and I can continue to cite examples that show you're wrong all day long.
Leibel suffered scrapes and bruises from the incident. He also badly injured his ankle needing surgery, the claim said.
After the incident, the Leibel family through an attorney sent Buckeye Police Chief Larry Hall a letter with three requests: (1) Grossman apologize face to face (2) Grossman perform community service in the autism community (3) Buckeye institutes autism training for officers.

Question for you: Is a cop an authority figure or not? Are they employed with the intent of enforcing the law or not?
I'm not sure what these questions have to do with improper escalation of force but the answers are yes and yes. So now what then? Some autistic guy acting funny while walking in a park tells a cop to efff off and since the cop is an authority figure he can go ahead and kick the shat out of that person? Simple equation-right?
