Louisiana state troopers were captured on body camera video stunning, punching and dragging a Black man as he apologized for leading them on a high-speed chase...

Freepers would not believe how much feds and local have taken from me in my lifetime....an amazing sum for something now legal...
And hey....they take all they can grab doesn’t matter one whit the source legal or not....if they open your bank account they grab it all
See it’s JBTBL talk justification ....taint...it’s the taint of it all baby.....taint....
Which much like the world cornhole
Means an entirely different thing in my dialect....
This joint is full JBT today ...lordy
Justifying cops beating a kid to death cause he ran from them...
Oh my the horror
This joint...no pun intended....is batshit loco sometimes...
Freedom loving my ass
You don’t get beaten to death for high speed chases in this country....if you want that move
So police have the power to determine when you're legal rights are non existent? Good to know.
Perhaps. Would that make the police conduct unjustified instead of justified?
“The apology could’ve very easily been a feint.”
Certainly, very easily. They should be on their guard. But it’s part of the job, the duty, for agents of the state to be neutral to people who are assumed to be innocent per law.
Yep. One thing I’ve learned, though, from watching a lot of videos of perps getting beaten is this: Don’t run from cops. They may be wrong, but like Chris Rock said in his video, if they have to chase you down, their bringing a beating with them.
I'm all for LEOs but...don't these guys have TVs at home?
Have they seen a newspaper in the last year?
They don't know that their every move is being questioned, let alone a black man being beaten to death at roadside after a 100 mph chase?
Sorry but these thugs gotta go away, for keeps.
Just to be clear-I am all for video and body cams for police. We just need to remember and understand that the medium can be used for nefarious purposes just like any other, and is a powerful tool for the enemy.
And they have shown they will misuse it with no compunction.
I don’t know that police departments and unions fought those cameras very hard. I predicted that there would eventually be a lot of pressure to eliminate them from misfits and losers who had previously been DEMANDING them ... because the typical police cam video you see online these days invariably shows misfits and losers behaving like animals when the police deal with them.
The job description of an LEO is to apprehend suspects and turn them over to the courts and criminal justice system. It does not mention administering punishment. Although once that adrenaline gets to pumping its hard to turn it off. 😏
Excellent graphic!!
Video is USELESS!
I’ll wait for the trial.
Because what you have now just isn’t working. We have damn near arrived at a point where any “person of color” who commits a crime can avoid arrest simply by publicly announcing that he doesn’t want to be arrested.
So in your world the alternatives are allowing police to take away your rights whenever they want to and no police at all? How about a middle alternative: police continue do do their difficult job within the guidelines they are given and with respect for the citizens they are working for? You know, do what the overwhelming majority of police officers do on a daily basis?
We have damn near arrived at a point where any “person of color” who commits a crime can avoid arrest simply by publicly announcing that he doesn’t want to be arrested.
I would be willing to bet that hundreds or thousands of "persons of color" are arrested by the police every day and manage to make it to the station alive. Because hundreds of thousand police officers do their job properly.
I agree with Leaning Right here.
I hate to see both sides, and we do tend to see that when the discussions get heated.
It would be better to be able to discuss them without the characterizations such as those pointed out by Leaning Right.
I don’t know
Obviously.
Threads defending police? Here on FR???
😂😂😂😂🙄
Sure. Spoken like a typical squish. 😣
There are also threads calling them out when they do something despicable, Such as beating the hell out of an old lady with Dementia, dislocating her shoulder among other things. Then bragging to each other how tough they were. It probably breaks your heart to hear this, but the D.A. just charged them. And the Harding Street raid in Huston, Texas were the Police shot down a husband and wife who were doing nothing more than minding their own business. Much to your chagrin, The Police responsible were charged criminally, and some Federally.
There is a difference and you jackboot lickers and holster polishers do not seem to grasp it.
And stats consider “hispanics” as white to level out the demographics as much as possible.
Your celebrating says it all. FR has for a long time been anti police.
Of course LE are being charged left & right....BLM & ANTIFA pukes demand it! Local DA’s are just as cowardly as the SC.
Terrified of the mob. You must be so proud. 👏
