The first body cam footage. Their aggression level was a 10/10 the minute they got to his car


Holy shite, what in the actual frick. Just watched that for the first time. It’s like they were doing everything possible to escalate the situation.

I don’t understand the initial aggression when the car was stopped.

Looks like he was fighting back and disobeying orders the whole way.

I didn’t mean he was in college. I mean the way he spoke. He wasn’t dropping low IQ shite talk. And I just heard he was 6’3 165 lbs. skinny as a rail. All these stories bother me because nobody steps up. It’s one thing for somebody to go rogue, but for everyone to go rogue or just ignore it? That crew must really scare the F out of the other cops or something. I think we are going to find out a lot more about that bunch.

The 2nd video in the OP is bad. Just a few minutes in. I don't see how anyone could defend that even if the guy did run.

All cops are thugs. They're just a big gang backed by the state.

Hey genius, frick all those cops in that video, but why don’t you tell us in plain English how vilifying every cop in America is going to give us better, more qualified cops?

The issue is the culture via policy that allows cops to be comfortable doing the things they do and get protected in the end by their peers. Doesn’t matter who gets recruited and hired.

But I was told that some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses

Yeah he was 6 ft 3 150 lbs. That beating was absolutely uncalled for.

Watch this video. LINK He was only 100 maybe less- feet from his & his mother's house when he was screaming, 'mom'.

I might have been fighting too. What happened was criminal on the part of the officers.

Look man, what those cops did was bad but let’s not go as far as calling a 29 year old a “boy” to try and elicit emotional responses from people.

No they aren't. If they were, we'd have 4x the bodies we normally have lying in the street each day in New Orleans, etc.

I don't mean to belittle the situation, but that first video was nothing but hilarious to me. Heavy breathing, black cop almost puking, the eye cleansing. I wish that was the end of it because that was just delightful.

Well the officers ripped him from his car for allegedly a misdemeanor; reckless driving. It appears he was confused as frick in the video that includes the initial traffic stop.
