We need a new way to police ourselves.
Has any surveillance camera video of the incident surfaced yet?
Used to be you considered Cops as your friends...I don’t know anymore. This beating the crap out of everyone is an epidemic. Indicative of our “CHANGE” to a police state, I guess.
It wasn’t a fight, it was a brutal beating that ended in a coma and death three days later.
listened to the angry people on kfi.
Be sure to look for the union label.
Its becoming classic.
So many things happen the same way. They beat the guy they tase the guy and all the time screaming for the guy to stop resisting, The screaming for them to stop resisting is for the benefit of the witnesses.How much resisting can one guy do against 6 trained cops. take away the Aluminum flashlights and go back to the Billy clubs, they don’t do the damage those flashlight can do. It’s like being hit with a weighted pipe. 6 grown men wailing away on a single man with weighted pipes can do some bad damage.
I’ve watched this video twice, in 1080p. The video is worthless. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s hyped up because the guys taking the video just want to be “famous.” Note that they do brag that they’ve got some good “YouTube” video.
Again, this video proves nothing. The “evidence” supporting “police brutality” has to come from elsewhere.
It's the tazer mentality. Used to be cops would talk someone down. Now they just taze them, and when the victim screams, why, that's resisting - so they taze them again. And when the victim then thrashes around, why, then they need backup, which jumps the person, tazes them, and beats the sh!t out of them with flashlights, until they are half-dead and unconscious. To make sure they are no longer a threat, the unconscious body is then tazed a few more times to see if it twitches. A couple of kicks confirms the kill, and then the dangerous criminal is cited for resisting arrest and endangering officers.
And if you complain, they break into your house and shoot you 72 times.
This NEEDS to stop. For all of the crap cops get, Americans generally have trusted them and looked to them to be pretty reliably upstanding. I'm not being naive - I know there's lots of bad stories. But that HAS been the general attitude towards police, genuine respect for them doing a difficult job. But these stories are getting more and more, and worse and worse, in Obama's America. And it's a very, very bad thing. It NEEDS to stop.
If I were in these officers' shoes, I'd familiarize myself with this statute:
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > § 242
§ 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law
-snip-
and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
Resisting Arrest. He probably leaned at them.
