If you speak up they’ll say you’re resisting arrest. The only thing to do is act like an wimpy sheep.
baaafreakinbaaa.
police are seen attempting to revive Yancy while a witness states, “All of this for one guy who wasn’t even resisting arrest,”. The officer is said to have received no serious injuries.
They f'd him up so badly they won't let his family see the body!
LEO’s need to learn some fear before this will stop. A few of them need to fail to go home after their shift.
They need to be drug tested. Especially for ‘roids.
In a just country, there would be MANDITORY drug and alcohol testing of any officer involved in a lethal encounter with the public.
A locomotive engineer or bus driver shouldn't have stricter rules than a cop!
But the cops made it home without breaking a nail. That’s all that matters, right?
Due process, along with most of the rest of the Constitution, is out the window in Øbama’s America.
Maybe some of his fellow vets will decide it’s time to go hunting.
yep, in my opinion most cops are on roids.
Here is an old one from Houston that always stuck in my craw, I remember “the hole”, it is where cops went to sleep in their cars and hang out, to avoid patrol.
“”Joe Campos Torres (December 20, 1953 - May 5, 1977) was a 23-year-old Vietnam Veteran who was beaten by several Houston police officers and subsequently died.
Torres had been arrested at a Houston bar for disorderly conduct. Six police officers took Torres to a spot called “The Hole” next to Buffalo Bayou and beat him.
The officers then took Torres to the city jail, who refused to process him due to his injuries. They were ordered to take him to Ben Taub General Hospital, but instead of doing so, the officers brought him back to the banks of Buffalo Bayou and pushed him into the water. Torres’s body was found two days later.””
Another Torres family loss: “”The Torres family grappled with tragedy again when Army Sgt. Jacob Molina was killed in a roadside bombing in Afghanistan on Tuesday. The 27-year-old soldier was the nephew of Joe Campos Torres, who died in one of the most notorious cases of police brutality in Houston’s history.
“No family deserves to go through what we’ve been through,” Sandra Torres said.
Molina never met his uncle, but he grew up hearing stories about him, and looking at pictures of him in uniform. His decision to join the Army was motivated in part by his uncle’s service, relatives say.
Joe Campos Torres was wearing his Army fatigues and combat boots when Houston police arrested him after a disturbance at an East End bar in May 1977.
He drowned after being severely beaten by officers and thrown into Buffalo Bayou. His body was found floating in the water a few days later.
The officers were convicted of negligent homicide and received probation of one year in state court. Federal charges resulted in prison sentences of a year and a day for civil rights violations, and a decade of probation for conspiracy.””
We keep wondering around the office where/when the first one will occur.
This is tragic.
posting the names and addresses of these cops would make others think twice
‘In a just country, there would be MANDITORY drug and alcohol testing of any officer involved in a lethal encounter with the public.’
That is the perfect way to frame this argument.
What's it "Comply or get beat to death by the cops?"
FFS, let the revolution begin already.
He must have resisted arrest so they had no choice but to beat him to death.
Your screen name is apt. Please remove me from your JBT ping list.

Too much truth for you, ‘boy?
But will all that change if the Pubbies were to take over or will it remain business as usual?
