Police Brutality

[blueapplesoda]

I had a buddy who was riding a motorcycle and was hit by a cop running a red light, no sirens, nothing. The patrol car hit him and broke both his knees and fractured numerous bones in his body, and he has had so many surgeries he isn't allowed to jump (no hoping, not skipping, no running, just walking). His life is basically ruined.

Anyhow. He goes to court over a period of 4 1/2 years to try and get the pd to pay for this accident. The results? There are surveillance patrol cars staked outside of his house every day for 3 years to try and "catch him faking" all of his injuries...and the best part...

The cops argument was that my friend was the one who ran the red light. They attempted to take no blame. After 75,000 in medical bills and over 250,000 in court related bills, he was able to break even. Just barely, as he was actually short by a few thousand, but we are all glad it is behind us now.

Some cops are good guys. I used to have mad respect for them, but more often then not, I end up having an unpleasant experience with the ones "filling their quota" in a routine traffic stop when there is a 7-11 being robbed 300 ft down the street.

I understand the dangers these guys go through to "protect and serve", but it is a dangerous job, and we all know that. They signed up for it. Just because they signed up they think deserve the utmost respect for every action they perform, otherwise they will come at you and "force respect" down your throat...

Yeah. Whatever. Fuck you. I respect real cops, and that ain't a real cop. Just another waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles ass bitch hiding behind his shield. These people disgust me.

your a fascist...o'you broke my last feeling. looks like the guy on the phone was interfering with police business. looks like the cop told him that,and he kept interfering. the most dangerous time is right before you can put the cuff on. most people flail and yell when they speak on the phone.

if we need someone to argue for an authoritarian police state, we already have joshh. you're unnecessary, and even less intelligent than he is. go away.

[mrsleeve]

what-ever you we're there...people don't cause problems...the media doesn't blow things out of proportion,or lie. the guy should have fucked off when the officer told him too. he should of asked daddy if it was a good idea to stand there and add more stress to the problem. he probably thinks its okay to fuck with the police when there arresting people,because all police are pigs because they stop people from doing things. he most likely wont do it again,maybe not though since the cops are evil.

Again WERE DID HE DO ANYTHING TO OBSTRUCT THE OFFICERS??????? ANSWER ME THAT Untill then it will be Blah blah balh from you

He was not trying to stop them from arresting his buddy he was standing well outta the way, talking on the phone. The cops cant tell you to stop talking on the phone and observing what is going on. Its with in your rights to be there. The cops didnt like him there doing that. That still does not give them the justification to pull shit like this then falsify the reports to make it look legit.

The video is plain as day, Clean the cum outta your eyes and you might see better.

Police like this should be publicly executed by a firing squad. Anyone in a position of power that abuses that power, no matter how minor, should be executed for their crimes. A crooked DA (the duke thing) a cop saying he was going to make up charges on a kid and this. All three instances the guilty should have been executed and their pensions revoked.

[Adrian_Visser]

He should be fired and charged with assault, no ifs ands or buts.

$20,000 wouldn't cover it for me again.

what you went through was quite a bit more than a concussion!

[BraveUlysses]

Yes but he's referring to the article which stated the victim:

He said he later was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome.

Listen to this one that happened last month in Tallahassee.

I young black kid I believe that was 17, was riding his bike home at night, a cop saw him pass a construction site, and believed that he was stealing things, the cop then proceeds to taze the kid out the window of his cruiser causing the kid to fall off his bike. The cop than ran over the kid and dragged his body for 35 yards. Killing the kid. The cop then placed a gun on the kid and left. The cop was suspended for 2 weeks with pay.

Fucking unbelievable. You wonder why black people hate cops.

You wonder why everyone hates cops.

Fixed

Yeah. Whatever. Fuck you. I respect real cops, and that ain't a real cop. Just another waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles ass bitch hiding behind his shield. These people disgust me.

Couldn't have said that better.

I agree 100%.

If that is true then it's despicable. He should be in jail for murder.

I didn't hear about this and I don't live too from Tally, how did they end up proving what happened?

[joshh]

Fucking pigs. I like how the camera just happened to pan away when the beatdown started, gg cops for covering your buddy's ass.

Reminds me of this incident:

I'll try and find the article, my parents told me about it and said they saw it on the news.

Check it out guys, I guess it was a little bit ago and not a month ago. regardless it is extremely disturbing.
