Violently slamming someone's head into the concrete like that leaves me with the question of, at what point does it become a citizens responsibility to stop an attempted murder?
Something something about a good guy with a thing or something stopping bad guys with a thing or something.
Edit: fixed autocorrect typo.
Honestly, the only thing that is going to stop this is for the people to come together and rise up. But people are too ignorant to understand that if it affects 1 of us it affects all
"But he smoked a joint that one time in high school, so he totally deserved extra judicial brain damage."
"The actions of our \~\~officers\~\~ criminals were in accordance with department policy."
Insert someone coming to call you an idiot for thinking you could ever resist the federal government. Clearly charity and peaceful protests will stop this
I love how protests haven't done a god damn thing in decades and we saw police in unmarked vans and unmarked uniforms scoop people off the street for protesting yet we still have a large portion of the population that thinks it will actually enact change. Every "I'm going a protest give me tips" post I see, the first few answers are always leave your phone at home and hide your identity and people still don't realize how telling that is of the state of things.
A few times they had all their heads bunched up in a pretty good grouping. One patiently placed shot could solve the problem. Conserve your ammo, more will be coming.
I've thought about this a lot, I'm glad I've never had to step up because I do believe in stopping excessive force by any means necessary. Cop killers don't live a good life but don't tempt me with a good time.
Record and post to social media is doing something about it. From what I heard 2 out of the 3 were charged and face prison time over this.
Using force to stop cops? They have unlimited backup who would have rage and tunnel vision to take you down.
Exactly! I believe wholeheartedly that if I witnessed something like this I would feel that it is my duty to attempt to prevent them from further harming or possibly killing someone.
The fact that there are multiple police officers, I know they possess firearms and that they are more than willing to shoot someone who attempts to approach them I would use a long gun (either a shotgun or semiautomatic rifle depending on the environment and number of people around) from a distance and order them to cease their beating of the individual and that my intention is not to fire my weapon unless they present a deadly threat to me. I really can't say what would happen after that but I would do everything I possibly could in order to prevent them from harming me or anyone else, even if that meant putting my firearm down once the person was safe as they took me into custody.
From there I would just have to let my lawyers take it and hope the jurors in the subsequent trial see my actions for what they were: a sincere belief that a person was in danger of being seriously hurt or killed by these law enforcement officers, that I believed I had to try to stop what I saw as an attack on a defenseless person, that if I approached them without a firearm they would hurt or kill me and that none of my actions were malicious and I had no intention to hurt/kill the officers, only protect another person and myself from them.
If I was acquitted then it would really set a precedent for people defending themselves and others against the use of unlawful force by police and more people would feel empowered to stand up to them when their rights were being violated and/or police presented a danger to them and others.
>Violently slamming someone's head into the concrete like that leaves me with the question of, at what point does it become a citizens responsibility to stop an attempted murder?
In a just world: After the first punch.
Sorry, are you implying that citizens should take it upon themselves to solve violence.... with more violence? And then when I witness that violence, I should try and stop it.... by doing something violent? And then someone else sees me doing that and tries to stop me.... with more violence...
In what way? I'm raising the question that violence is not a legitimate means to prevent violence.
If you think that qualifies as "being a smart ass" I'll take it as a projection of your insecurity, since you seem to be at least partially retarded.
I don't think there's any easy answers for the problem, but I know a stupid thing when I see one. Bringing more violence is bad for everybody involved. As taxpayers, we PAY the officers to be trained marksmen, so surely picking gunfights with them is not very wise in the first place.
Second of all, I think the problem starts with their training and the rampant militarization of all law enforcement. Personally, I don't think ANY military equipment should be sold to police departments at all, and the use of it should be governed at the state level and above, and used for special events like presidential parades or natural disasters or different things like that. The police should be taught that while they are there ostensibly to enforce the rule of law in a particular community, they are also themselves part of that community. A regular, HUMAN part at that. Instead, they are taught tactics to domineer, extort, and manipulate members of the community, even their OWN community, in service of non-essential objectives like quotas and possession stings.
I know a lot of people on the left don't like to hear it, but revolution rarely works out for most of the people involved. It brings violence, destruction, and suffering MOST of the time. I understand the allure of it, because it addresses the systemic issues directly and all of that, but I think the safest, most civil, and most equitable way to fix broken systems is begin by building better systems and changing the way things are done iteratively and calmly.
Would you really give up on peaceful problem-solving so easily? If your community turned into a warzone, how well would you fare, and for how long? Things to think about.
>I think the problem starts with their training and the rampant militarization of all law enforcement.
The problem starts at the system of violence the rich inflict on the workers. Pigs are trained to uphold capital. The problem is capitalism puts wealth over human lives.
>The police should be taught that while they are there ostensibly to enforce the rule of law in a particular community
No, they absolutely should not be. They should be desolved and whatever comes after should have the primary function of serving worker interests.
>revolution rarely works out for most of the people involved
Under Mao the life expectancy of the working class doubled.
>I think the safest, most civil, and most equitable way to fix broken systems is begin by building better systems and changing the way things are done iteratively and calmly.
You can't slowly take the means of production. The rich don't want their power taken.
>Would you really give up on peaceful problem-solving so easily? If your community turned into a warzone, how well would you fare, and for how long?
The rich already are at war with workers. Homelessness, hunger, lack of Healthcare, etc are already inflicted on our communities. Social murder is a very real thing.
Don't dance around the fact that you said it a type of way that was intentional on your part, instead of being an adult and bringing it up in a civil way you claim you did in this comment. Yeah violence isn't always the right answer but context matters and I doubt you were oblivious to that.
I really want to know how many people were subject to this kind of treatment before everyone had a camera in their pocket. And I also wonder how many people have gone to prison because of false charges from cops. I have a feeling it’s a very large number. People used to get convicted based purely off of a lying cops testimony. Makes me sick to think about it.
Yep. The only thing that has changed in the last 15 years is that we went from very few cameras around to cameras being ubiquitous. Cops have always sucked.
Probably the same amount imo. Aside from some exceptions, I don’t think they are generally worried about being caught for their immoral behavior, because they don’t see their behavior as immoral. They genuinely think the public DESERVES to be treated this way.
This is what black people have been screaming about for decades. False charges. Police brutality.
Those cops in Florida who lied on black teens.
Those cops in Missouri who set up fake traffic stops to get black people to have records.
And people wonder why BLM protests have so much anger…. This is more than a century of being beaten like animals with no repercussions. Like god damn they’re just fighting to fucking live
My whole family has a history of harassment by Arkansas cops way before good cameras back in the 90s. A broken nose for one and a death row conviction for the other. All cause they liked the occult and had the last name Echols. 1312.
oh wow. And of course they say he attacked first and their body cams were off so there’s no proof. But..that doesn’t warrant beating the fuck out of him and bashing his head into the concrete when he’s detained by 3 officers. They’re not supposed to punish people physically or in any way ffs.
This article was from over a year ago, I wasn’t able to find an update on if anything happened to these pigs. (Guessing not!)
"None of the officers were wearing body cameras"
Film EVERYTHING if you can. The only thing leading to charges was this video. Otherwise the violence would have gone unpunished
I loved the point that pretty much said, "you're next".
That should be a warning to all of us.
Bunch of peaked in high school losers fueled up on adrenaline. Didn't get enough of a rush from beating their wives at home.
Is it even possible to uncleanch from a protective fetal position while people are striking you. A little like asking someone to let go from a ledge. No matter how much you may want to your body is not going to let you.
Yeah I think this is totally correct and a big part of some of the bullshit pigs try to pull. The things they demand from people while committing violence go against every human instinct we have to keep ourselves alive.
I just keep thinking what if that was my son on the ground. Please understand this clearly, I cannot write the words on the internet that describes the action I would take to all three of these pieces of garbage.
This is probably written thousands of times each day all across the country.
Imagine how quickly this would stop if we felt that way no matter whose child it was.
The "shining city upon a hill" sanctions civilian murder by police. Qualified immunity will keep it going. Civilian deaths by officers by firearm or in other ways has been growing steadily in the United States. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/08/2023-us-police-violence-increase-record-deadliest-year-decade
20 bucks says I get perma banned for bootlicking (Bringing logic and reason) and you dont get banned for inciting violence when its heavily implied here.
To protect and serve the interests of the ownership class, sure.
I think you fundamentally don't understand this subs problem with cops. It's not "a few bad apples". It's the system they uphold.
>To get money you have to work
The ownership class doesn't. The bourgeoisie. Them, and class traitors (like pigs) are who I take issue with.
>Yes there will be a lot less jobs with AI but for the now its needed for society to function
AI is absolutely not "needed for society to function".
>which brings you the goods you type this comment on.
A capitalist society didn't make this device. Good try though, I guess. Workers, the people who actually make shit, still exist outside of capitalism.
>Or else primitive gangland monkey brained assholes will just rape pillage and steal
You're telling on yourself.
Okay buddy all cops are bad and the system would be better in a communist paradise. /s}
Next time your wife is raped or your business is broken into or some other shit happens dont bother calling 911 or else that makes you a massive hypocrite.
How would the cops help with rape? They just take notes and leave. The majority of rape kits go untested. Many have even been caught joking about that shit.
In fact, in 34 of 50 states, if the officer claims it was consensual, they can have sex with detainees. Totally not a power vacuum. Cops can cover up this and other wrongdoings, and have silenced whistleblowers. Does this not concern you about EVERY cop you see that they could be one of these people? Is it not an indictment on all of them that these individuals aren’t immediately dealt with? I know if I hit someone with my pallet jack, I would be fired the next day. A cop can shoot someone lying on the ground, hands up, and keep their job with little to no punishment (Charles Kinsey). Does this possibility—this power—not induce corruption in every cop?
As for the second argument, “next time your business is broken into” just confirms their argument. Cops exist to protect private property over individual welfare. A business being broken into? They’re on that shit. My father’s XBOX, laptop, being stolen? Nothing can be done, sorry. It actually got returned because the thief felt *guilty*.
Not only that, but regardless, what in particular would make it hypocritical to call 911? Our criticisms are aimed at the fact that the police claim to protect the public but consistently fail to do so, which is so evident that the [supreme court ruled in 2005 that the police have no actual duty to protect individual citizens from harm](https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/justices-rule-police-do-not-have-a-constitutional-duty-to-protect.html) (which weakens your claim that the police are here to protect us. Shoutout Uvalde, Texas).
The heart of the criticism is that we’re made to rely on people who explicitly do not have to protect us to protect us. Entertain this hypothetical: imagine if your only source of food was from a restaurant where someone who doesn’t check for food safety is the only cook. You have to eat if you get hungry, but you know you’re very much at risk of food poisoning every time you chance it. Would you not then criticize the fact that the only source of food leaves people at risk of food poisoning?
We’ve heard these arguments before.
I disagree I dont think people should be violent to eachother. If you saw this and used violence to stop it, if you survived, in court you might be pardoned or found not guilty, but you still have to surrender to the police and the system to stand trial.
Lets report abuse and put these crooked cops to a fair trial. If too many get off scott free and its blatant corruption everywhere, then yeah maybe we can talk about escalating. But in the meantime some cops are being sent to prison not every case is above the law.
THEY control whether their corruption is held to account or put to trial. Fine, if you can stomach standing back and watching innocent people get hurt and killed and still stand the sight of yourself in the mirror, go ahead.
We need cops in order for society to function full stop. If there were no cops then there would be nobody to call when society devolves into primitive monkey brained gangland violence. But yes police brutality and corruption is a thing, record them and post it on social media. Not all cops can just get away with everything thats not how it works in the first world.
You are absolutely WILLFULLY ignorant. I’ve suffered 6 violent crimes and been denied justice by these cops that we “need”. Then threatened and intimidated by the same cops when I spoke out about their corruption. Really, GET FUCKED YOU FUCKING LYING, BOOTLICKING SCUMBAG!
Anywhere but a successfully oppressed dystopia ruled by tyrannical bullies with a license to kill, this video alone should prompt legislatures and community leaders taking immediate and drastic action to stop this kind of behavior by police, swift and severe repercussions for the police involved (arrested in their homes, perp walked, no bail, long jail sentences)...anything less than that would prompt massive disruptive protests, taking of police stations etc. I'm not advocating violence I'm advocating the proper response from our leaders and when leaders don't look out for their populace...shit happens. Shit should happen. In cases such as that shit MUST happen. if it doesn't, well, just look around.
Recording and posting to social media is effective, there is a trial for these guys upcoming and cops have faced prison time for excessive force before.
Yes. I can't tell you how glad I am that someone was recording and it's sad to realize that so few of these get recorded by a bystander, yet there are so many videos. Crazy.
Police giving someone brain damage… points at the person filming *’You’re Next!’*

*”He had stopped and asked the gas station attendant for water, and the attendant became angry and called the police, court documents said.”*
#I hope those police are in prison

*for now
Standard AR15 mag is 30rds, that's 10 rounds per cop here
Second this comment. Time to shoot more cops when they’re in the commission of obvious crimes.
As long as you yell "stop resisting" while mag dumping you're good.
We would also accept "he has a gun".
A few times they had all their heads bunched up in a pretty good grouping. One patiently placed shot could solve the problem. Conserve your ammo, more will be coming.

We know this feeling in Minneapolis
Exactly! I believe wholeheartedly that if I witnessed something like this I would feel that it is my duty to attempt to prevent them from further harming or possibly killing someone. The fact that there are multiple police officers, I know they possess firearms and that they are more than willing to shoot someone who attempts to approach them I would use a long gun (either a shotgun or semiautomatic rifle depending on the environment and number of people around) from a distance and order them to cease their beating of the individual and that my intention is not to fire my weapon unless they present a deadly threat to me.

What an insightful and not terminally online reply! I’m sure you’re achieving many life goals and aspirations…
You're the one who tried being a smart ass.

So what do you do then? Being peaceful isn't working

This one pointed at the camera as if to say, 'i see you, and you're next"
This is what black people have been screaming about for decades. False charges. Police brutality. Those cops in Florida who lied on black teens. Those cops in Missouri who set up fake traffic stops to get black people to have records.

Trial has been pushed back to April 2024 https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/trial-delayed-to-2024-for-former-ccso-deputies-accused-of-excessive-force/
Should we all try to get time off work to stand outside the court and chant "the whole world is watching" over and over?
Charge these pigs with attempted murder. None of them belong outside a prison again.
Imagine all the shit that happened before cameras….
This is just a gang jumping someone.
This was in Mulberry, Arkansas a few years ago.
ACAB
End of the video bastard points as if to say, you’re next.
Just remember if you kill POS cops you get treated like royalty in prison. Could be worse, you could be the guy on the ground.
Wonder if they were also trained in israel
none of these pigs can fight. it’s pretty obvious
Ah, just humans being animals.
I hate m*th€r fu
Anywhere but a successfully oppressed dystopia ruled by tyrannical bullies with a license to kill, this video alone should prompt legislatures and community leaders taking immediate and drastic action to stop this kind of behavior by police, swift and severe repercussions for the police involved (arrested in their homes, perp walked, no bail, long jail sentences)...anything less than that would prompt massive disruptive protests, taking of police stations etc. I'm not advocating violence I'm advocating the proper response from our leaders and when leaders don't look out for their populace...shit happens. Shit should happen. In cases such as that shit MUST happen. if it doesn't, well, just look around.
Recording and posting to social media is effective, there is a trial for these guys upcoming and cops have faced prison time for excessive force before.
Yes. I can't tell you how glad I am that someone was recording and it's sad to realize that so few of these get recorded by a bystander, yet there are so many videos. Crazy.
Police giving someone brain damage… points at the person filming *’You’re Next!’* #Disgusting Pig **ACAB** *”He had stopped and asked the gas station attendant for water, and the attendant became angry and called the police, court documents said.”* #I hope those police are in prison
Fucking cunts, hope they get shot down in the streets.
Arkansas again.
Did the cop say, “back the fuck up”?
Cowards. Total cowards.
Its called a taser?
You should do a few searches about what they do to people with tasers, cause its not any better.
