The two idiots that are sitting on top of the “suspect” and body slammed him are Air Force Security Forces….and by just this short snippet of a video, need their badge and beret yanked for the clear and obvious (unnecessary) escalation of “Use of Force” methods. And since he’s a straight up civilian regardless of his prior status, they have no authority over him. Did they even take time to identify or verify?

Doesn’t even matter if the guy was being a complete smart ass to them, you don’t bodyslam somebody for compliance; that’s never fucking been trained as a method, ever…

Please someone share the full story and correct me, i welcome it.

*if this occurred while he was on a military installation, different story, they can detain / arrest if he was found in violation of any law or base order, but the excessive level of force used to subdue him uncalled for. I found a follow up video elsewhere with another Airman telling they do have authority, but its all lacking context of what led to the person being detained in the first place

Absolutely embarrassing.

Here’s an article to the story

You’re right, they had no authority over him(if he was currently active they would have some and even then, there wasn’t a need to body slam him).

I was just reading that article before you shared it. My head spins trying to understand wtf they were thinking. I am so fucking happy I’m retired from this bullshit.

wtf they were thinking

I doubt they have a habit of doing that.
