I transported inmates for many years and we never put a seat belt on them unless they were seated in a front seat.

I've been watching "COPS" for years and never once have I seen them strap a seatbelt on a suspect after tossing them in the back of the patrol car. Now it's considered criminal negligence to fail to do so based on a city police policy that went into effect one week before this incident?

Every one of these racial prosecutions since Rodney King have been politically charged and based on false allegations, from Tawnya Brawley to Duke LaCrosse to Trayvon Martin, to Mike Brown to this.

Funny how Al Sharpton has been involved in every one.

Front seat of a car. They’re hands would be cuffed in front of them and they would be wearing leg irons. Prisoners transported in the back of vans or a bus would be restrained with leg irons and belly chains.

media? Uh no, as always the libtard scum are coordinating with it...

Marxist tyrants, US "media"...they're all the same thing. That's why the term "RATagandists".

Inside look into BPD van ... little, if any, room for officers to get into the van and secure a prisoner imo, especially one who's not completely docile.

“Manipulating the media? Uh no, as always the libtard scum are coordinating with it...”

Weather Underground- Find an incident. A spark to ignite the flame. Ratchet it up to a raging inferno.

Osama bin Laden to Mullah Omar doc # AFGP-2002-600321- “It is obvious that the media war in this century is one of the strongest methods; in fact its ratio may reach 90% of the preparation for the battles.”

Both mean exactly the same thing.

Orchestrate the news for a terrorist attack.

Better get ready boys and girls.

Terror attacks are coming down the pike.

Oy.

Paddy wagon

From what? 1913?

This is why conservatives have trouble carving out a spot in legitimate or pop culture

Irish can take it - one because victimhood is not how the story turned out so far. But it is not a nice depiction

And two because there was truth in it

No mention that most of the cops doing the rounding up we’re Irish

Ijuts, as the Irish say

I’m not sure the WaPo interviewed a 38yo. The evidence in this thread is pretty incomplete.

That sounds like totally different transportation, more similar to school kids on a bus.

Here are two different police vans, one of them looks made for giving "nickel rides" if someone wanted to.

That’s been my question...the other inmate should have been hurt too if the rides was so rough

Take what”

The most common theory is that it was named for the policemen, because so many of the big city authorities were Irish.

That isn’t so insulting.

It is pretty hard to hurt someone in the backseat of your car, unlike the slippery metal box of a van.

It’s happened before

Miami 1980

And those cops did kill Mcduffie and make up a story and other cops testified against them

Acquitted when the trial was moved

This trial will not be moved and these cops will be convicted

Just watch, the rule of law is out the window in the Marxist states.

The term ‘paddy wagon’ is a black slur aimed at the Irish...

Eh no, that is NOT the most common explanation.

I don’t want to continue this ‘debate’. THe image is from a century ago.

We are not going to win any culture wars any time soon with this idiocy

If there was another passenger in the van how come he wasn’t similarly injured?

The article is claiming that Donta was never in the van at all. The article is suggesting that Bledsoe (ass't DA) put Miller (reporter) in touch with Donta so he could regurgitate the story that they were cooking up.

The article is suggesting that Donta was with Freedie when the arrest was made and he got away, but was found later in the day. There is no record that Donta was ever arrested, charged or transported to Central Booking.
