To add... the officer gave shorty commands... talked to the people like they were garbage...told the guy he was gonna die if he made a mistake...because that helps someone think clearly.... the tried to pull up his pants... he should have been prone and still... particularly because he was drinking. Still wanna vomit... sorry
It seems that the police these days get their training from Patrick Swayze in Point Break that he gave to his gang. Control the situation through yelling and scaring the crap out of everybody.
I confess that I did not know what led to the cops being there in the first place. Now that I do, I’m doubly sickened by this video. This is the second story I’ve read where there was really no call for them to be there in the first place ended up with an innocent person dead at the hands of the cops.
My wife, one day, discovered her 13 year old son had disobeyed her and gone to a friend’s house or something (I forget the details. It happened before we met). She thought she’d pull a Norman Rockwell and call the police to “scare” him.
Except they grabbed him and took him to jail and were not kidding.
Although I see the police as just normal people like the rest of us, with good ones and bad ones and everything in between, I no longer consider them safe to be around. They are dangerous. They are the club used by a mindless governmental machine used to keep the public in check and in fear. I don’t want to mess with them unless the stakes are even. Which is one reason why I now carry in my car. It’s not the main reason, but at least I’m not defenseless if I am confronted by a bad cop. And I have the dash cams to cover it.
