The guy lay on the ground on his belly and put his hands together behind his back, ready for the cuffs, instead he suffered a sustained sheriff mob beating, and left unconscious and/or injured for 45 minutes, without medical care.
America better get control of these law enforcement machines and rein in their unions and their taking over of city and state governments, or all is lost.
Yup, I saw it too, ready to be cuffed.
They had no idea the news chopper was orbiting far above the Sheriff chopper.
Is the Sheriff up for reelection?
Yes but those poor cops were winded from chasing this dangerous man,
They belong in prison, even those who stood by doing nothing to stop the beat down.
“America better get control of these law enforcement machines..”
You are correct.
Perhaps if our property & local tax bills showed a separate new ‘surcharge’ showing the taxpayers just how much their share is too pay off the lawsuits...? Just a thought.
Sadly if these departments do not start prosecuting these officers you are going to see increasingly more officers killed in retaliation. The police and politicians can preach calm and respect the law until they are blue in the face but eventually human nature is going to take over and it will be blood for blood.
I hate that it has come to this but either the police have to start policing their own and reigning this crap in or the public will turn on them and then all hell breaks loose for the police and the public. We need the police but we need those officers held to the same standards as they hold the citizens they are supposed to serve.
