A Robeson County, North Carolina police officer had to be airlifted to a hospital after being brutally beaten in an altercation with a criminal suspect that lasted for eleven minutes. The lengthy struggle was captured on camera by a man who refused to assist the officer in the apprehension of the suspect, instead opting to laugh, taunt and cheer on the vicious beating as he filmed it.
27-year old Officer Michael Sale of the Rowland Police Department was airlifted to a hospital after reportedly suffering fractured bones in the face during a lengthy 11-minute struggle. Sale was supposedly responding to a report of a disturbance of the peace when he encountered Jamel Alphonso Rogers. When Sale attempted to detain Rogers, the two men began a fight that would continue for more than ten minutes.
Officer Sale asks the man filming the brutal struggle to intervene, but he doesn’t expressing his disdain for police and at times even cheering on the thug brutally beating the police officer. https://bigleaguepolitics.com/north-carolina-police-officer-viciously-beaten-as-onlookers-laugh-film-for-11-minutes/

From what I can see he was trying to get the guy in cuffs but was lifted up and put on the ground he was trying to protect his side arm from that kid getting it. But, you are right. From the moment that kid got away from him he should have drawn his gun on him and ended it before that little shit beat the F out of him. Disgusting that police are afraid to protect themselves now. Which means more of this coming as he showed they are powerless.
