I dont want to get political here but when they cops show up to a call involving a man beating the shit out of a women, who has warrants, a history of violence AND the responding officers know all this. Your going to jail, thats it, compliance is mandatory. We cant be letting these guys brawl with cops then getting into a weapon (his car) or going for a gun / knife. Holding these felons up as examples of police brutality is pushing moderates towards the middle.

He wasn't beating a woman.

He had an outstanding arrest warrant for an incident in July. The charges include: criminal trespass to dwelling, 3rd degree sexual assault and disorderly conduct. All which means he likely had an argument with the mother of one of his children. And note, he has been convicted of anything.

The call to the police involved: 1. He wasn't supposed to be there. and 2. Supposedly a man had taken some keys and wouldn't return them. We don't know if the officers knew about his outstanding arrest warrant as the 911 call doesn't mention him by name (at least the summary transcript I read).

If any of that means you deserve to be shot 7 times in the back while your not armed, then we're going to have a lot of funerals in the near future.

What took place was way beyond police brutality.

That's very hard to deny! The swamp won't be drained. Again.

Real power comes from money.

Not votes.
