From the video: Tommy Yancy, 32, father of two, was savagely beaten to death by five law enforcement officers during a routine traffic stop near the city of Imperial last Sunday, on Mother’s Day. Yancy, a veteran who suffered from PTSD, served in Afghanistan and Iraq in the 259th Field Service Unit following the 9/11 attacks.
Yancy was stopped on his way to the store after a highway patrol officer spotted a missing front license plate on his vehicle. He was subsequently pulled from his car and attacked by a police K-9 unit, hit by a taser, and attacked by five officers until he succumbed to the beating and died. A witnessed, who filmed the incident, can be heard screaming on the recording: “How long before you guys call an ambulance? Call an ambulance!” According to the source of the video, who asked not to be named, his family has not been permitted to see his body, nor have they been given a cause of death.

Sounds like I may want to get a copy of the Kentucky law regarding front license plates and carry it with me...
“He should have claimed he was an illegal immigrant from some central american country with a large population of african ancestry.
They probably would have waved him by...”
Better yet the thugs with badges would have given him the send off if he had claimed that he was an illegal alien, homosexual, Muslim who votes early and often!
I was kinda wondering. I mean, your job is dangerous when you are in iffy situations and NOT armed.
Most likely a case of mistaken identity. They thought he was a lab puppy.
‘Imperial cops’... unintended ambiguity and redundancy rolled into one?
He doesn’t look like a DOG. Why did they kill him?
If it’s anything like a beeber, you’d better take precautions...
I just don’t want to get near anything that might cause me to get stuned!
The next time the Domono’s guy comes to your house, shake his hand warmly and say “Thank you for your service!”
No one wants to innocently do or say something that LEO, necessarily on guard nowadays, will interpret as being “mad” and “uncooperative”.
It is strange however that a google News search ("Tommy Yancy") returned only four hits all local. This is a Rodney King moment that the MSM employees love.
“I’ve gotten three tickets for missing front plate.”
I got pulled over a few times in Ohio whilst driving my Dad’s LS-400.
“Officer, this car is registered in Florida. That’s a Florida plate. No front plates in Florida!”
Yeah, but I was driving in Washington state, with Washington plates. :-(
How many pizza delivery guys do you read about killing innocent people?
Poor and working class whites were in the same place.
Cops have always found the poor the easiest to deal with, almost all police shifts can be completed with less effort and less push back, by dealing with the poor and working poor.
As a department, would you rather issue hundreds of DUI tickets, or PI tickets, or beat downs, or such, a year to blue collar slobs, and in poor neighborhoods, or to the $200,000.00 a year neighborhoods?
Tester = letter (damn autocorrect)
I broke down and bought an I-Pass when they doubled the rates for paying with cash. I only go up there a few times a year but, save 5 bucks each trip using the I-pass. You can use the I-pass in other states such as Indiana and Ohio, but Kentucky isn't on the list..
I think you guys know my post was hard sarcasm.
I was kinda hoping it was, but I wasn’t sure. There’s a lot of L&O Nazis, even here.
We just avoid toll roads. Our grandchildren are in Algonquin and we never have a problem. ‘Course, we don’t go anywhere once we get there, but there is no need to. My wife and I have had our fill of the “city life” and are just fine outside of it. Funny thing is I’m in three bands in KY and love to hit all the rural honky-tonks, as long as I’m on stage.
I tried that once and decided it didn't make financial sense for where I travel to. If I didn't have the I-pass and had to pay double with cash, I come out ahead financially. Even then I am not sure it worth it in terms of increased driving times and the potential for get robbed by red light cameras.
