What the fuck

---

Wasn't this the plot of First Blood

Cops have historically disrespected black soldiers since the days of ww2. There was a famous case where a ww2 vet came home from the war and before he got to his family a cop beat him so bad he lost his eyes I think

That happen in South Carolina. And the cop who did it got away with it.

Bootlickers defended this in the comments when I saw it posted on Facebook. Go figure, even even they're explicitly wrong, people still defend the police.

I dont get how someone can treat an active military officer like that.

Im just gonna point out the younger guy was trying to de-escalate (if you just get out of the car, well talk to you...) and when the older guy (not seen in camera) noticed that he immediately prevented the de-escalation and escalated again, by interrupting the de-escalation and screaming HURR DURR DIS BE AN ORDER!!!.

the younger guy later in the video tried to just open the door and take the guy out but the older racist guy once again prevented him him doing so (HURR DURR NO REACH!!) and kept trying to impose his will on the soldier by forcing a blinded man to take off his seatbelt and open the door, fully knowing that if the guy moved a bit too fast he would get more holes than a strainer.

this kind of stuff makes me lose faith in humanity

youre asking the right questions.

youre asked to exit the car, but when you do, they fill you with lead because HURR DURR HE GOT OFF THE CAR AND I WAS SCARED!

youre asked to take off your seatbelt but when you do HURR DURR HE REACHED AND I THOUGHT HE BE REACHING FER GUN!!! And they fill you with lead.

the sad irony of this video is that if the solder had gotten off the car as they asked, or reached for his seatbelt right away the older guy might have emptied his clip on him and successfully argumented that the fact the soldier got off his car or reached down (to take off his seatbelt) made him feel endangered and he had to shoot. Doing what he did saved the soldiers life.

It's only American police officers. Well, that and Duterte's hit squads, plus the occasional Indian cop squad.

Okay, so the third world and America. Yikes.

The disrespect

Why I don't care one bit what happens to cops. ACAB.

---

....wow @ the full youtube video.

---

This is infuriating.

---

Cops love to yell orders.
Then give conflicting orders .

Like when you are yelling something at people for most people it is going to take a second to the fully understand what you want.
Then add giving mixed orders .

its weird but youre supposed to grab the handle from the outside when exiting the vehicle.

No clue what happens if the doors locked and you need to unlock it though. But ya...

even If it was a Senator and a white cop versus black victim Republicans would still side with the cop. They will put every pressure every ounce of weight to put black people down as second class citizens. The only scenario where they hate cops is when they try to overthrow the government (January 6th)

In WW1 they handed out out pamphlets to the French,English and Australian soldiers telling them not to be nice too or intermingle with black soldiers because they were horrified it was giving them ideas about equality

he drove with a new car with tinted windows and no license plate (well he has something on the window). he got flagged and drove less than a mile to a gas station and stopped.

cops told him to get out, and he refused to for w/e reason, and that's when he got pepper sprayed and got out and got kneed in the legs and interrogated.

cops got sued

Another dishonest shitpost

As someone who's been pepper sprayed, dude took it like a bad ass. That shit hurts and he was very very calm about it. But he's absolutely correct, that is most definitely fucked up.

Yup its why those saying "why didn't he follow orders?" Lose me, the orders contradict themselves its like the cops were looking for a reason to jam him up

---

that's fucked up. I'm glad the guy was able to keep his hands up the whole time and keep his composure and avoid death.

I was going to ask who will defend this, looks like i got my answer.

Cops are the C students from high school who either had no friends or peaked Junior year so this is how they maintain any sort of power. Throw in racism and you get this asshole. Cops are not above the law they claim to uphold. Stop coddling them.

At my HS, the guys who would burnout of the parking lot at the end of the day and shove lowerclassmen in the hallways became cops. All 3 of them.

Yeah they need to seriously up their standards

That's how they murdered the guy in the hotel corridor. Yell conflicting orders like playing Simon says and as soon as they get it wrong, they unload their whole gun into him.

Him being in the Army is really irrelevant to what happened.

Actually it is. It shows that no matter who/what a black male is, he's still treated like a second class citizen

It shows that cops don't care what kind of person a black person is. They would treat a black general the same way they treated this lieutenant

Exactly that. Plus, before anyone says "well the cop didn't know he was in the army!"...that's precisely another point. The same people who defend cops like this always say "SUPPORT THE TROOPS NO MATTER WHAT!"...This is proof that unless you have knowledge of their profession, someone in the Army is just an average person. a person who this racist cop saw and instantly thought he was up to no good. You can't have it both ways. Neither cops, nor military are infallible and blind support based on a chosen profession is asinine.

They're willing to do this in a well lit area with cameras rolling to a Lt. in the Army. We all can imagine the things they would do in a dark alley to a young black man

Fitting that you're named after a dog considering all the licking you're doing.

@Arcanine2009 are you trolling?

he drove his vehicle as it comes straight from the factory. The vehicle was new, and new vehicles often dont have license plates, that is why he had a permit in the window.

he got stopped and got pulled over at the gas station, which saved his life since its a well lit place with possible witnesses.

what part of this guarantees this sort of treatment? You must be trolling.
