Black Alabama Cop Beats the S&*# Out of Handcuffed white man
youtube ^

Posted on 07/31/2015 9:50:14 PM PDT by TigerClaws

On December 23, 2011, in Huntsville, Alabama, black cop Brett Russell brutally yanked a restrained white man from the back of a police cruiser, and instantly unleashed brutal beating upon his helpless ass, while repeatedly yelling the fix all police brutality phrase bleated ad nauseum for recording purposes: “Stop resisting!”

Gary Wayne Hopkins had been arrested after a domestic violence call. He was beaten so badly, the correctional officers were unable to accept him, and sent him straight to a hospital.

In the police report, all present officers reported that Hopkins was combative, and that Russell who beat him to a pulp was just defending himself because he feared for his life. The report also said the man was taken into custody “without incident,” withholding the fact that he had been beaten.

As is customary in established police states, the word of a citizen killer would be arbitrarily believed over anything victims of their brutality could say. But miraculously, after years of silence out of fear of getting fired, officer Joshua Bates who witnessed the beating with his own eyes, broke down and admitted that the victim was not combative at all, that Brett Russell beat him up for shits and giggles, and to keep his property as “trophies“.

Be interesting to see if this gets ANY national attention given the race flip of the usual MSM narrative.

The feds prosecuted the black officer for violating the white victim's civil rights, and a jury just convicted him:

A federal jury found Huntsville Police Officer Brett Russell guilty Thursday night of violating a suspect's civil rights by beating him in custody and of obstructing justice by trying to cover it up.

Don't be silly. Dems did not found the KKK, and Dems did not make up the membership of the KKK.

Oh, wait a minute. You're right! Dems DID found the KKK, and they DID make up its membership. And it was the Republicans who opposed the KKK. Funny how more people don't know that.

This is the kind of sh1t that makes any sane person who relies on common sense, not inherently trust any LEO around them.

The backing up of your partner who’s totally lying. The blue code.

Having sh1t to plant on people that had nothing and didn’t do anything. But they maybe die on you and so you plant that ham sandwich (ie gun) on them. And get your partner to lie.

As trusted witnesses of the court they always have more cred than you if you’re still alive, or the dead citizen.

That’s how they get away with murder! And we think only our politicians are corrupt?

I watched five-out-of-five Massachusetts State Policemen walk into court, swear the oath, and then commit felony perjury on the stand to try to convict a guy of a traffic misdemeanor. They are far worse than criminals, who don't pretend to uphold the law, and who don't have the legal right to shoot you dead and then go home and beat the wife and kids like it's just another day.

They only still breathe because they have permission.

The problem here is not the goon beating the perp...the problem is all the other jack booted scum who stood around and let it happen, and then helped to cover it up. Every one of those pigs needs to rot in prison.

“Massachusetts State Policemen”

Those were the guys that Matt Damon said dressed like they were ready to invade Poland in “The Departed”.

So...I reckon Sharpton and his FBI informant squad will be rushing in for a hate crime investigation any second now?
