There's an actual video of this event(modern taxi/ride shares duh), so him getting cleared speaks volumes along with the hearsay vultures tucking their dicks and running. The driver also supports Majors.
why are the police arresting him?someone a few posts back said it's NY policy. i guess if you get a complaint filed against you in a case like this, you have to be arrested and processed regardless
It's sad how the best case scenario here is that nobody was assaulted, but the police rushed and arrested an innocent black man.
If this is true...uh why are the police arresting him?The woman reported it the next day so neither the driver, witnesses or any recordings would have been available to the police at the time.

2. It's POLICY to arrest men every time for any type of domestic disturbance call, been that way for years all over America.
EDIT: To be clear, the arrest is mandatory period. Even if she recants on the spot, even if a third party made the complaint and they both deny it, even if there's no visible injury to anyone. Domestic violence call = automatic man gets arrested, period.
It's true. Many, if not all, American police departments still operate on the extremely sexist and draconic "Duluth Model" which basically translates to: when responding to a DM call involving a female person, ALWAYS presume she is innocent and the victim by default. ALWAYS presume a male person (men and teen boys) accused of violence are guilty by default. Female persons are granted the benefit of the doubt and do not require witnesses to corroborate innocence or accusations (Believe All Women). Male persons do not receive these privileges.
No joke, that's basically how the policies rooted in the Duluth Model function and have for decades. They're long overdue for repeal for a variety of reasons, some of which were present the days of it's institutional application. Even some feminists (typically center left) have come forward pointing out the inequality of the model and laws birthed from it's implementation. I state that to note the irony because many other feminists have incentive to uphold the practice, not repeal it, and they're not a minority among the figurehead organizations of today's movement. Feminists who actually seek equality out of principle (rather than political pandering), however, have spoken over the years that the Duluth Model needs to be buried.
If a man is the victim of DM by a female perpetrator and calls the police for help, there is still a significant possibility in the US he will get cuffed and taken into custody due to practice of the Duluth Model policies. The reverse is NOT true. Female accused are often not arrested. Even if the guy has witnesses stating he was the victim and shows clear signs of being physically attacked...the woman's word legally bears more weight than his (regardless of truth). She has a very real chance of walking away scot free. Seriously. It's why witnessed incidents of male DM victims getting arrested instead of an violent girlfriend/wife (who the cops allow to stay in the man's residence) are not rare. And it's a big reason some male victims don't trust American police in these scenarios.

Cops usually arrest somebody on a domestic abuse call. It's to separate the parties.
Ethnic man arrested because a girl called the cops on him with 0 evidence. Wow color me shocked.
And this is why I don't believe ANYONE when it comes to accusations.lol what a horrible post
lol what a horrible postWhy?
And this is why I don't believe ANYONE when it comes to accusations.This is why I like to wait for more information. Hopefully we get to see the video of what happened.
Why?They want you to doubt all accusations and think false ones are not just frequent, but the norm. Plenty of people, male or female, are shamed and intimidated into recanting or not reporting physical or sexual assault.
Why?
Rumor is Johnathan Majors was cleared of the charges, but he's been canned by Marvel anyway.bruh source?

The fact that false accusations are still a thing means you should never blindly believe anybody.
Because its fucking ridiculous to see one person do something and decide to treat every single person ever as if theyre the same.Not sure what you mean here.
And this is why I don't believe ANYONE when it comes to accusations.

Like, you don't believe the accuser you mean?What part of "ANYONE" do you not understand?
but he's been canned by Marvel anyway.
People who are saying it's normal to arrest for DV in NY are right.
However, they charged him. They don't really do that unless the DA believes there's compelling evidence, and so far that looks like the bruises and marks left on her.
The DA is Alvin Bragg, and I'm sure he knows who Majors is, and he would have avoided charges altogether if there wasn't physical proof of someone with injuries.
JM might be fucked regardless. They would have to prove she hit herself or get her to admit it if he didn't do it.
The DA doesnt need a good reason to charge him. Even if a video shows him not touching her and it comes out she bruised herself(you keep glossing over that she didnt get looked at until way after the cab ride when they were already home for a while) he can still be charged and tried.Alvin Bragg does, since his entire platform is not putting minorities, especially black men, through the system he's trying to change. This is a guy sitting on evidence for Trump and has not charged him yet.
You cant infer anything from this. This case is out of both of their hands now.
update?The update is that he's been charged with multiple accounts of assault and the girlfriend has been granted a temporary restraining order
Ethnic man arrested because a girl called the cops on him with 0 evidence. Wow color me shocked.The CNN article I just read that it was in fact Majors who called the police because he was afraid for the "victim's" mental health.
