UPDATE: Police said he died in a car crash... FINALLY ... charges files against officers

We need to pass laws to prohibit authorities from refusing to disclose body cam videos showing serious injuries or deaths when they aren't prosecuting the police officers involved.

 

More outrageous than what Chauvin did. If those cops - from the perps to.those who covered it up - don't go to prison, it will be a travesty.

I wonder if anyone - dad? - will excuse it because the guy didn't stop.

 

Bingo.

...but we can see clearly why they did...and it's sickening.

 

Poor guy said "I'm your brother." Poor naive soul really thought those evil scumbags gave a damn about his life. May he rest in peace and may the officers involved suffer the harshest punishment.

 

If you are dumb enough to lead the police on an extended high speed chase endangering the lives of hundreds of innocent people just maybe you need to be beaten.

 

I would also fire any trooper in that department who viewed any of the BWC footage and didn't immediately turn it over to their internal affairs division.

 

There is something seriously and genuinely wrong with you. You need to get help.

How dare you condone this, how dare you.


NSFW: graphic violence

 

Why is it always conservatives that are the ones condoning police violence, or are on the side of the killer?

 

Some condone or don’t condone based solely on the skin tone of the victim.

 

You know what he’s about. Best to ignore.

 

Unless the police are trying to stop an insurrection by MAGA.

 

Beaten to death? Jesus. Get help.

 

I agree, but you can't shame the shameless. It hasn't worked with @Gator515151 yet.

 

I actually had sympathy for the other 3 police officers in the Chauvin case not named Chauvin, esp the guy who was a new trainee as well as the one who was doing crowd control (maybe they were the same guy, not sure). There were different degrees of culpability there, with Chauvin being like 99% of it. A couple of those guys were just unfortunate to be on the scene with a POS like Chauvin.

In this case, they all participated and then lied because they knew they were in the wrong. So you have a crime, and then an active coverup where they furthered the criminality. Sounds like the LA state pd needs to hand out a whole bunch of pink slips, and a decent # of them need to be charged criminally. Everyone that straight up lied about the facts committed an obstruction of justice, so you have people maybe not even in the violent attack committing a crime to cover up the incident. Quite a mess there...

 

Wtf is wrong with the police in this country?!? Unreal.

 

Apparently the LA state police police don’t even believe that garbage logic because they hid the video for 2 years.

And if believe what you just posted then just maybe you don’t deserve the protection of a Constitution.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with you?

 

What I was thinking.

He claims the guy found a way to endanger the lives of "hundreds of people" in Monroe, Louisiana?

I'm not buying it either.

 

I was taught in the police academy to use the least amount of force necessary to subdue a bad guy. Then once secured (handcuffed) you stop with the physical force. It was difficult for me at times. Once I transported a guy to jail who about beat his wife to death. Then bragged about it on the way to jail. He even told me when he got out he was going to kill her next time. I put everything he said into my report. I can’t tell you how difficult it was for me not to stop the car and kick his ass. Under those type of conditions you have to stop with the physical force or face disciplinary action up to firing or criminal prosecution.

That man didn’t deserve to be treated that way.

Refusing to release the video is evidence that they knew they were wrong and it will be difficult to explain why. At least to me.

 

Great post.
Great self control with the wife beater, and I’m being totally serious. Your blood must have been boiling.
