In the longer video, when they detain the man the supervising cop asks him if he’s blind. It’s at this point you know the deputies know they fricked up and are fishing for anything they can to justify the violations of that man’s rights. Those deputies need to be fired and jailed.

the male officer should be fired first. He lost his shite after being asked his name and badge number. Dude clearly isn't emotionally capable of the job

The longer video on Reddit is worse. The “supervisor” instructs the female cop to arrest the citizen for resisting arrest after he simply asks for their name and badge numbers (which they are required to give when asked). What a moron cop, he knows he’s on video and blatantly violated this citizen’s rights and breaks the law by committing an unlawful arrest. Truly unbelievable.

It’s insane. He stood there the entire time as he was handcuffed and didn’t resist at all. As you said they know it’s on video but they were pissed so they arrested him anyway. Both of those cops need to be fired without cause and all of their arrests reviewed.

Fckg tyrants! This is why I cringe every time Republicans campaign with the back the blue bs.

I loathe the police state and they are NOT our friends.

I'm trying to figure out how a "legally blind man" needs a walking stick if he keeps it in his back pocket. Guessing not really blind.

Legally blind doesn’t mean can’t see at all. It just means that he has a visual acuity below a certain level. Many legally blind people can see but struggle in some conditions, such as low light. He said in the video he had to walk there in the dark for something, I think jury duty, that was cancelled.

Unfortunately conservatives have allowed the fact that we tend to oppose idiots like black lives matter and race baiters like Al Sharpton and simply set ourselves in opposition to them when it comes to the police. Alas. Just because the race hustlers are blindingly wrong about why the police suck doesn't actually mean that they are wrong about the fact that the police suck. Moreover. Why do conservatives like the police? The police are an arm of the state. Virtually every police officer you know no matter how cool he seems will happily arrest every last one of you mother f****** if his government tells him to do so. You don't necessarily have to be anti the police but being pro police is moronic. The cops are not your friends. When push comes to shove if it's between their job or f****** you just start bending over.

Legally blind doesn't mean he can't see. It means that what a 20/20 person can see at 200 feet he has to be at 20 feet to see.

He probably uses the folding white cane at night or in unfamiliar areas.

Wait are you telling me they have a cop killer running loose on the streets? With a gun and arrest powers? Crazy how that works.

This is just as bad as the guy who got arrested for watering flowers. Once again a cop refuses to investigate and de-escalate. All they want to do is show how big their dick is. Especially the female.

This is why qualified immunity can be a poison pill. This is another bullshite arrest. Not even borderline justifiable. Yet the citizens may have to foot the bill for stupidity.

I was preaching this before covid but it nauseates me that people didn’t even wake up after covid. If that didnt prove that cops aren’t our friends and they have an oath to protect their pension so they’ll follow unconstitutional mandates then I don’t know what will.

you can tell a cop to frick off and there's nothing he can do. It's protected speech


They’ll still arrest you. Ask me how I know? Last time I told a cop to frick off it cost me right at 2500 in lawyer fees, and court costs. Learned a valuable lesson though. As I watched my attorney and the DA bullshite for 30 minutes about hunting and fishing they eventually got around to me and agreed to drop the charges in exchange for court costs. Protected speech never factored into it. It was then I realized that everyone got paid at my expense, the bail bondsman, my lawyer and the city. It’s a great big money making system and I was just a big sucker thinking I had rights.

Of course the female officer here threw his cards onto the ground like trash, but she had no problem confiscating the guys cash knowing how hard it would be in theory for him to retrieve his cash back once seized.

And yet only one of them is going to lose their job here. You can’t just unlawfully arrest people because they “piss you off”. That is some tyrannical bullshite

I'm pretty sure I know this woman cop.
She was asked to leave or be fired from Baker county sheriff's office for being a bitch to the wrong citizens kid(small town)

If it's her, she rents from my baw

Not the same chic, but this is definitely something she would be a part of

So what? I wouldn't act like Mary freaking Poppins either if I was being harassed by a cop for no goddamn specific good reason. He knew his rights and utilized them. In response she trampled on his rights, threw him in a cage, tossed aside his belongings into the road, and stole his money for good measure. One behaved within the bounds of the law, the other did not. And the one who broke the law here ain't the old man who was an "a-hole".

it's worse because honestly it's readily apparent to me at this point that the vast majority of police officers don't even comfortably know the law that they are theoretically enforcing. Most of them seem to basically go on what they think the law is. As for the Constitution. I wouldn't bet my 12-year-old's allowance on the average police officer being able to adequately explain the Fourth Amendment and how it applies to him. It is very obvious that most police officers because of qualified immunity don't really feel it's even that damned important to be right on those kinds of things.

The whole court system is an industry and justice plays a very little role in it.
