Cops draw guns on black man picking up trash on his property

Is it because you suck a cock cop that you have to scream?

Something obviously led up to this situation.

What is even more upsetting is that 7 other officers showed up willing to physically detain this man without questioning a single thing. A badge doesnt grant infinite wisdom.

Watch the live leak video of the cops body cam. Will explain that and why the cop resigned. I thought the same thing. That maybe the guy had a history. But they were just in the mood for violating his rights that day.

Everybody is blaming the popo but here's my question: WHO TF called them out there in the FIRST PLACE??? Eight police officers didn't just happen to drive by and pull their guns on the guy!

Where did I say I didn't see the problems here?

Harassed for no reason? Hate to tell you but I have been harassed (TWICE) in my life to a level MUCH higher than this man and in fact, in one case for the same reason.

Once I was placed in a choke hold and pulled thru a fence and arrested (disorderly conduct for failure to id) when I had committed no crime of any kind...I thought the cop was going to kill me.

Another some kid had told the cops I had "kicked him". I was walking out of my apt to go wash my car when the cop pulled up, said NOTHING to me but walked up to me and placed me again in a choke hold and took me to the ground, Shouting..."So you like kicking little Kids"...again, this cop didn't say one word to me before doing this so don't talk to me about police ABUSE...I understand it very well.

I will look again at the video but I didn't see a "drawn weapon"...I saw the officer with his hand on his weapon..that is NOT a drawn weapon and yes, I have experienced this before as well. (EDIT) In looking again it does appear the officer actually DID draw his weapon and was holding it at his side. It is my understanding that is against procedure in most police departments as you are not supposed to draw a weapon unless you intend to use it. Of course I'm no attorney and I don't that if that is factual or not.

Had a crazy x-wife called 911 once and then the dumb bitch hung up....well, guess how the officer who showed up at my door reacted to that...yep, with his hand on his gun!

Did I scream about my rights? Did I complain to anyone about him threatening me in my own home? NO...I understood and actually turned to the dumb bitch and told her to look, this is what SHE caused because of HER actions!

I could post videos of cops in similar situations we are discussing here who are DEAD now because they were NOT ready to defend themselves.

It's a fine line between lawfulness and anarchy....there is a level of distrust that has grown and when you CHOOSE to blame one side for that distrust it is YOU who is not seeing the problem.

How dare he pick up garbage.

Justified

The link clearly states what led up to it. The officers were out in a show of force because someone had recently stolen a bicycle and the night before or some nights previously had broken into an orthodontics office. The asshole cop happened to see the guy with a trash grabber and decided to harass him.

Dont care.

That's what I get for not watching the video and just reading 3 replies Guilty.

Clearly something wrong at that department. This guy deserves some compensation for the time they utterly wasted when he was in fact doing nothing wrong.

We've found a time traveler!!!!!

Where did you come here from?

1938 Berlin, or 1950's USSR?

THAT is what exactly sums up the Thug Blue Line mentality.


Members of that gang has no ability of INDEPENDENT thought.

Don't really understand why assholes think shouting in the street is the proper way to handle situations. The garbage stick is a potential weapon and the guy should have put it down. If the officer had reasonable suspicion to investigate or was called by a complainant to investigate, he had a legal obligation to do so and could not just walk away from the situation. If the citizen did not like the way he was treated he has the legal remedy of filing a complaint with the department, which they then have a legal obligation to investigate.

You coptards always blame cops for following laws and protocols that you don't agree with without considering that those laws and protocols are legislatively put into place by your state and local representatives. I guarantee that the vast majority of you couldn't eve name your city or state reps or state senators if your life depended on it, let alone know anything about their voting records with respect to police protocols. So much easier to jump onto a computer and squeal like scalded dogs than to engage your civic responsibility and hold your local and state reps to account. You get the government you deserve. Coptard FAIL!

Wonder if the man filed a civil lawsuit against the department and city... he'd win and the city would most likely settle for $$$ out of court.

What a shame cops like this idiot give a bad name to other goo LEO's.

There was mot reason to pull the firearm - the officers life was not in danger or any one else's for that matter. The officer pulled a weapon to FORCE compliance.

It's a safe bet that most of us are guilty of that a time or two.

The opinion of a Justin Trudeau gimp toy.

The guy had a potential weapon in his hand that he would not drop after being continuously told to do so. Police have a legal right to brandish a firearm if they believe to person is a potential threat to bodily injury, which he was simply because of his proximity to the officers. if they were legally attempting to detain him pending investigation, then he is legally obligated to comply with their commands.

if you look up the state's directory of police protocols, I'm sure you will find that they were within their legal framework throughout the entire incident. If you don't like the legal framework that cops work under, then get involved in your state and local government to have it changed. Oh, I'm sorry. That would require too much civic effort.

I agree. That took guts, very brave.

The cop was fired chief.
He was not within the legal framework.

Someone robbed some stuff previously, this cop decided he didn't like the look of this guy for "some" reason, and off it went.

Stfu you limp wristed American citizen wannabe. When the cops follow the law, uphold and protect our rights, we don't scream. When they abuse their power, which this one clearly did, we do.

Which laws did he follow? Before you open your stupid ass mouth or fingers, you might want to know the law. You can read them here. [link to www.law.cornell.edu (secure)] and [link to www.lpdirect.net]

And after those situations you are like
"Meh, it's fine" ?

....
Ok....then...
:shrug:
Nothing I can say next to those experiences

Yep. Living in a dystopian police state.

not to mention that he did not even have a weapon it was a clamp this is just nuts i mean why be so aggressive towards someone thats not doing anything wrong its sick...

FYH says it's not in denial and admits they're selective about their accepted reality.

Well some of Us tax payers are fed up with this Police state mentality from those WE hire to Protect Us.
If those cops could not tell within the first 10 seconds(common sense) that he was NOT a threat and was in fact picking up garbage with a grabber and NOT a AK47. I don't want them protecting Us.
It's a good thing he didn't point it at them. It could have accidently went off and picked up that piece of white trash pointing the 9mm at him.(BTW I'm White, and a tax payer)


And I didn't see any victim card being played.
I saw a cop with his gun drawn about to make a dead victim out of a MAN picking up trash. Why was he even questioned?
Daily Quota? Stupid AC.

Wish I could get some my white neighbors to pick up the crap in their yards.

Not everyone is an asshole

We need laws to apply to everyone

If a cop threatens the life a person then they should be held accountable.

They drew first. That is enough justification for a cop to shoot you so it should be equal protection under the law for everyone.

If that clamp is a weapon, then why do the cops here give the to the prisoners that are out picking up litter on the side of the road? I regularly see 10-15 prisoners with those clamps with one cop watching them.
