@ mudduck224: if he took a swing at the officer, as u claim... Where's the charge for assaulting an officer?? O- that's right! It didn't happen. Maybe you and your other cop buddies need to get ur stories straight before you spread ridiculous rumors.

If Chris was so drunk- as Lt. Hastings refers to him as "belligerent"- then why was Chris not charged with public intox?! Simple question- easy answer: He wasn't drunk. They charged Chris with enough random stuff I'm sure they would have added public intox had they had evidence. Nice spokesperson LRPD. I guess it's my turn for an a$$ kicking since I asked a simple question?

Well, at least it was a male cop and he only got punched. Had it been a female cop he probably would have been shot.

What everyone doesnt know is that he left the area for about 20 min and then decided to come back and confront the security guard. What he didnt realize was that he was not a security guard but a police officer. He took a swing at the officer and they began to struggle , thats when you hear the car alarm going off and the video starts. Alot more facts about this that the lawyer is leaving out!!!!! And as for the comment about how he treats people on Asher and how he treated "US" sounds a little racist!!!!! Plus the citizens on Asher know to put their hands on the wall and comply or.....well we all just saw it on the video!!!!!!

I pray LRPD will clear this officer of any wrong doing, the man and his friends clearly caused problems from the start. The man resisted arrest after the officer ask him several times to leave after him and his friends entered a private party which they were not invited. If someone entered my home not invited I will use any force to get them to leave. God Bless this Officer, thank you for your service to our great City.

For those of you who apparently have never met Chris you should know he is a great person who would never disrespect anyone, especially a police officer! The fact that everyone watching was yelling at the out of control police officer to STOP should be your first clue that he was WAY out of line!! I am a ER nurse and I am cussed at and threatened by drunks and druggies on a regular basis... I wasn't aware it was ok for me or the officers I work with to beat the crap out of them and I promise you Chris does not fit in either of those categories!! You can clearly see in the video that Chris has his hands up and is not a threat at all. He never made an aggressive move even when he was getting punched in the face by this so called "upstanding officer". LRPD should be ashamed for calling this "by the book". It is nauseating at best!!
