Police sparked outrage when they posed for a photo with suspect Eric Boykin in Prentiss, Mississippi, on Tuesday. Boykin was accused of robbing a bank at gunpoint and fleeing the scene. Multiple law enforcement agencies including the FBI and ATF joined the manhunt. He was found about 600 yards from the bank in a wooded area. Four officers were seen crowded around Boykin after placing him in handcuffs. The image immediately sparked backlash on social media as critics slammed the officers for turning the serious ordeal into a silly photo-op. It's unclear which agency the officers in the photo were from. A Prentiss Police Department source said they believed the officers had come in from Louisiana.

[a fool in paradise]

twitter outrage is largely fake or trivial

want to really see some outrage?

ask when van halen are going back out on the road? Sammy Hagar has already returned to the stage and isn’t afraid.

I think that picture is funny as hell looking at in total. I see nothing wrong with it. The police are not idiots. Who goes through their day, every day, worrying about how their actions are going to look in the press? If the guy were beat up or shot, yeah, whole different story, but the suspect himself is laughing for crying out loud.

[SuperLuminal]

Oh! The horror!

A poor severely undernourished person of color being subjected to brutal psychological torture...

The obvious pain and fear on his face brings tears to my eyes...

[Flaming Conservative]

I don’t care, Finnigan.

Maybe he is slow. He dont look like a criminal Mastermind thats for sure.

"If it were not a person of color, it would be a non-issue/non-story."

Exactly!

[Little Ray]

How come everything cops do these days “sparks outrage”, while nothing criminals do even raises an eyebrow?

'Cuz they can't sue a perp for damages?
'Cuz they can't use criminals violence to undermine the gubmit?

[coon2000]

Agreed, he is smiling because he gave it his best shot and they got him. There is no mistreatment going on here.

[mass55th]

Oh look, they captured one of the Democrat’s runaway slaves.

The photo should be made into a billboard:

“See What Happens When You Don’t Resist Arrest: Smiles and Puppies”

[Seruzawa]

Some people would complain if they were hanged with a new rope.

And the “defund the police” ones should get the opportunity.

[mass55th]

"Would anyone be surprised if they knew each other and maybe have been friends?"

They could have even gone to school with the perp.

[billyboy15]

Stop behaving like a twat.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Looks like a diet center’s before photo.

[kiryandil]

Ain’t nobody in that picture missed too many meals...

[Fireone]

BS story. If it were a big game photo, their rifles would be laid across his dead body.

[cuban leaf]

Spot the biggest smile. :D

[mass55th]

LOL!

[cuban leaf]

Four cops in a town of that size may just about be the whole police force.
