FULL TITLE: Horrifying moment cops 'surround innocent man who just crawled from a burning car and kick him in the HEAD'

Shocking video has emerged of New Jersey cops approaching a man as he crawls from a burning vehicle and proceeding to kick him in the head and neck.

The footage, filmed on Sunday in Jersey City, shows the victim engulfed in flames, dragged into the road and assaulted. And officials say that he was a bystander, not the fleeing suspect who crashed into him, nj.com reported.

'Our investigators have reviewed the video and we believe with certainty that this man is the bystander from West New York who suffered burns, not Leo Pinkston, the individual pursued by police,' Hudson County prosecutor Esther Suarez said.

In the past this reckless human stain would’ve been killed for the danger he posed to others; now he’ll make millions.... Subhuman animal; shame he survived.

Amazing how many people opine on things without reading the article.

[Agamemnon]

Police had been chasing Pinkston, 48, for around six miles when the crash occurred.

There's a back story here that is not being told and FReepers are choosing to jump all over a group of cops first.

Just for sake of discussion, what if the guy they were pursuing here was caught in the act of ass raping a 5-year old little girl like those Muzzies in Washington state were doing, and he flees in his car and almost kills another driver, as just described. He loses control of the car and slams into a pole becoming a fire ball -- endangering the cops trying to cuff him

Think those cops might be justifiably less sympathetic to an asshole on fire like that?

FReegards!

This was on the news here (I live close by), and I haven’t seen a clear statement that the man getting the beat-down wasn’t the perp.

[DannyTN]

Thought they kicked him back into the burning car based on headline.

[G Larry]

The broken facial bones, concussion, and brain damage, can’t be compensated in dollars.

These cops belong in jail.

This was on the news here (I live close by), and I haven’t seen a clear statement that the man getting the beat-down wasn’t the perp.

The 3rd sentence in the article posted quotes the county prosecutor as saying they are certain he was a bystander.

And if you are unsure, then why the numerous posts with such certainty that the guy assaulted by police was the perp?

[raybbr]

It happens all over. Trying to blame the liberals for power mad police is a stretch. Everyone thinks cops are these freedom loving conservatives. Hardly it seems.

I witnessed a crazy nasty chase like this. Police from one jurisdiction had been shot at and were in pursuit of an armed robber who had also tried to run them over when fleeing the original scene. They were supported in that pursuit by the Police from the jurisdiction that the chase entered. The combination of armed robber (lights out at over one hundred miles per hour) and about five pursuit vehicles passed my young son and I on a large interstate loop highway.

About four minutes later we rolled up on a crash, the robber was off in the large median. Two police cars were in front and in back of his vehicle with the rest of the police askew across the roadway. Dozens of civilian vehicles were coming to a stop. The robber was running his car, spinning wheels in the mud trying to bull-doz his way past the blockading officers approaching him with guns drawn.

I turned to my son and said, we are in the line of fire, get down, and then proceeded to weave past as the gunfire erupted and the driver was shot dead ten yards away. I was glad I stompted the gas.

I’m still shocked that these videos exist . . . because it means the one doing the filming preferred that to saving the life of their fellow human being.

Because interfering with jacked-up police who are beating someone up always has a good outcome.

This was a bystander who was hit by the car. The perp fled the scene.

“He’s gonna be a very wealthy man..............soon”

He is? Well, I hope all those leeches out there leaves my beloved Uncle, um, whatshisface alone.

[gdani]

There's a back story here that is not being told

And that is?

Just for sake of discussion...

Irrelevant

Think those cops might be justifiably less sympathetic to an asshole on fire like that?

If you bothered to read the article, you would see the cops assaulted a bystander, not the perp.

What's wrong with cops these days when they are worse than the people they are arresting?

What's wrong is that they aren't held to account for their actions — just look at their legal immunities and how, despite being a fellow civilian entrusted with upholding the law, they are not required to either know or follow the law.

It's the same with the elite where someone can be guilty, obviously so, and some authority figure comes in and de facto pardons them: James Comey with Hillary Clinton and no criminal intent, or when Murtha was found to be acting in the scope of office when he slandered and defamed some marines, how Ammon Bundy's lawyer was assaulted after asking for the papers showing the authority of the court to hold his client after securing an acquittal from the jury, or how something like the whole Waco incident where such injustices were piled atop one another to totally excuse the perpetrators.

There's whole documentaries on Waco, and it would take a long time to list them all; perhaps a better example would be Ruby Ridge, ID wherein the FBI flat-out murdered a woman in front of her family, the perpetrator (Lon Horichi) was never held to account.

There's a reason that the Stop, Drop, and Cower pamphlet gained a bit of virality on the internet - it's humor, while over the top, is grounded in some truth about the attitude that those in authority have.

With all the smoke and fire, and his skin being scorched, they mustve thought he was a black man.

[Red Badger]

I see you’ve always been very close........................

“THIS is the standard to which those police are expected to perform. and by golly, they are sure doing it.”

If that standard was by pretending to be Firefighters then the job was an epic fail.

[Morgana]

gdani is correct the police attacked an innocent person.

[Red Badger]

You do know that the burned man is NOT THE PERP, don’t you?

He was the VICTIM!........................

[kearnyirish2]

I’m not seeing that confirmed on the news; if that is the case the cops are screwed.

[samtheman]

Every cop there on the scene belongs in PRISON, 120 days in General Population should cure them of their moral bankruptcy and they just might learn a little respect for their fellow man.
