dude should have been fired, he's just annoyed and making bad decisions.

---

Cops always seem to try to escalate situations here in America.

When a one star wanted level becomes two...

don't mess with texas

---

The police in Springfield, Mass murdered a man at a gas station last year, said he was "suicidal". 11 months later, the video has not been released.
---

Let me clear in no uncertain terms:

Police in America are

Horrible
Terrible
Corrupt
Cowards
A gang
Pigs

All Cowards Are Blue

Ah, Keller. Grew up and went to HS there. Typical racist and conservative suburb. Joke town.

Lol?
Louisville and Chattanooga take the award for racist towns; only this yr did Lou'ville end up being exposed in national media.

Cops basically did the wrong move at every step of that interaction.

Fire the piece of shit and others like him. Be strict about it and things will function as they should once again.

They always have cameras going (for good reason) so there's absolutely within our right to have use a camera as well in case an officer is corrupt and tries to lie or exaggerate the charge. Anyone that has nothing to hide and is doing a good, honorable job will not mind being on camera.

I said "typical," not "most."

It's sad many town run by Dixiecrats are now run by Republicans.

Police reform!!!!

Fire that officer and charge him with assault. Get these poor people some of that City Government money. Fucking garbage officer.

---

Its my right to roll up my window.

No its not.





---

The guy wasn't even rolling up his window for protection or whatever. it's force of habit when you get outta the car and he was nervous as fuck. These officers are human waste

Fucking scum deserve to be fired and put in prison.

Yeah, no defending that whatsoever. If the father was getting up in their face and refusing to back off, that'd be one thing, but he's just literally chilling there across the street. I understand that family getting involved can make a situation messy, but he did literally nothing worth paying attention to.

"If you're rolling your window up, what does that look like to me?"
I don't give a solitary shit what you wrongly perceive as threats to your ego. If you're this much of a coward and are constantly in fear for your life, you shouldn't be wearing a badge or carrying a gun.

and they arrested the father for blocking the road except he was standing on the sidewalk.

Private attorneys are drooling over this footage right now.

I would have been okay with them arresting the father for that if we didn't literally have video showing him obeying the officer's order to park the car. Literally "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't". Officer just wanted to bully someone because they were trying to hold him accountable.

Like, listen, rolling up your window during a traffic stop? Not smart, because it is slightly suspicious. The cop has to deescalate that immediately once the dude gets out of the car and honestly admits he was just nervous, though. Furthermore, if you're an officer, there's no reason to initially approach the stop with that much intensity anyways. You are literally making people more panicky by approaching a speeding violation like you're ready to take them down at a moments notice.

This man in Vallejo, CA was not on the street, but he was handcuffed for filming the police.

Also, wasn't a man from Kentucky handcuffed and assaulted a few weeks back for filming a man at a McD's?

What in the absolute fuck

Fuck that cop. What a pile of human excrement

---

Protests need to happen in the neighborhoods where the cops involved live

---

This is really sad (don't have anything more to add)

Yeah those cops should be fired. On the plus side, those dudes are gonna get paid. Pretty easy lawsuit right there.

---

Wow, I am totally surprised by this sort of behavior from the police.

---

more shitty cops

They in fact do do that already. They incite the riots by using excessive force and then beat and arrest everyone and act like they saved the day.

Cops gonna cop

Heres a video from a former police officer on this very thing:

Its a good watch if you want an inside perspective.

Y'all need to get different material because your collective stand-up routines are way past stale.

Just goes to show it doesn't matter how nice of a car you have or how nice your house is. If you're brown the cops will find a way to fuck you up.
---

This is why "resisting arrest" should never be a charge. It's just a reason to make it easier for them to unlawfully detain you.

It's interesting that you have nothing on topic to say.

He has a couple significant disciplinary actions on his record already.

Unfortunately any termination will likely result in employment in another jurisdiction where he can continue fucking with the populace.

This will not be the case if the George Floyd Justice Act is passed, the Democrats had this done months ago.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/7120
H.R.7120 - George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020
This bill addresses a wide range of policies and issues regarding policing practices and law enforcement accountability. It includes measures to increase accountability for law enforcement misconduct, to enhance transparency and data collection, and to eliminate discriminatory policing practices.

The bill facilitates federal enforcement of constitutional violations (e.g., excessive use of force) by state and local law enforcement. Among other things, it does the following:

lowers the criminal intent standardfrom willful to knowing or recklessto convict a law enforcement officer for misconduct in a federal prosecution,
limits qualified immunity as a defense to liability in a private civil action against a law enforcement officer or state correctional officer, and
authorizes the Department of Justice to issue subpoenas in investigations of police departments for a pattern or practice of discrimination.
The bill also creates a national registrythe National Police Misconduct Registryto compile data on complaints and records of police misconduct.

It establishes a framework to prohibit racial profiling at the federal, state, and local levels.

The bill establishes new requirements for law enforcement officers and agencies, including to report data on use-of-force incidents, to obtain training on implicit bias and racial profiling, and to wear body cameras.
