Considering Jackson's condition; suffers from a disability termed "auditory processing delays," which makes it very difficult for him to follow instructions given to him orally, it's possible that the police jumped the gun... so to speak. Perhaps they though he was spaced out on drugs or was ignoring them. There's subtle yet important differences like where they talking to Jackson's back or to his face. If to his back did he not hear them or process the information and they grabbed him and he pushed back? I can see how a cop who is an authority that expects to be acknowledged could get perturbed when telling a person to their back to turn around and come here and it appears the person is ignoring them and keeps walking. Somebody pushed, hit or grabbed somebody first.
If you do learn what he has been charged with give me a ping. I'll do the same.
Is it proper procedure to run everyone in the car thru the "system" in CAL? I know at times My husband's pulled over I was never asked for any type of Identification? I understand the father had expired tags. Could it be the kid didn't want to leave the car or something if they towed the car?
That guy that Greta Interviewed last night, (who filed charges 3 weeks before this happened) Said..
He was leaving his family's, One police car pulled up, asked for their (him and his friend) I.D.s they handed it over and asked what the matter was. the police replied a complaint had been called in. the two guy's waited. They were let go by the police. The Man walked to his own car, Got in it. He said he was surrounded by 5 or 6 police cars. He didn't know what was going on, They all told him to get out of the car.. He got out of the car. He said he was beat with nightsticks.. They claim he was resisting arrest. he said he wasn't. he was completely compliant.
He said he was told he was under arrest,, he asked for what. They never said.. He was put into the hospital with in a 3 day coma..(the pictures they showed were horrific to me)
He never was charged to this day with anything and no outstanding warrants. One of the officers that took part in the beating and that wrote up the "police report" was the same officer that punched this kid in the face.
Greta last night asked what was the reason for the arrest.. neither the Lawyer or the Defendant knew. He was never charged with anything.
After hearing this story last night, I really think there is a Problem with this Police force.
To all who read this, This does in NO WAY make me a "cop-hater", This makes me a concerned citizen speaking my mind when obvious red flags go up about certain people or agencies Perhaps more will come out in the coming day's..
Here in Detroit, last year, a deaf man was shot and killed by police after not responding to a verbal order to put down a rake...
