Reform: Officers Who Detained 6-Year-Old At Gunpoint Sued Under New Law

[ObsidianJones]

Serious warning. You are about to see a woman and children wrongly handcuffed and face down in the asphalt, for an arrest that turns out to be faulty to begin with. The cries are not for the faint of heart. Please trust me on this.


To summarize the story, The police mistakenly accused and arrested a black woman with a number of children of being in a stolen car. According to the woman, she tried to present her identification to which the police did not accept. They pulled her and the children out, handcuffed them, and put them face down in the parking lot. The Children were obviously distressed.

As I've stated before, the car was hers.

But... If you don't like Marches... this is how you get Marches.

I'm legitimately trying to corral my thoughts here. I continually have people ask me why am I trying to leave this country. And out of all the answers, Police is usually the one that gets the most pushback. Like "Oh, so you bought into the BLM crap" and blah, blah, blah. I'm going to only use this paragraph to share my own feelings. I didn't buy into it. This has been my whole life. I lived a life where it was a joke by even my teachers that if anyone had a shortened lifespan in the class, it would be me being a black male teen. But I'm going to put a cork in my personal outrage to express the gross negligence of these officers.

Color doesn't matter at this point. Now we're talking about strictly humanity. There is Child Protective Services. If the woman did anything wrong, fine. Arrest her. Maybe not put her face down in hot asphalt, but arrest her. Sit with the car. Soothe the children. Talk with them. Wait until Child Protective Services gets there. Promise safety of their family member.

Be. A God. Damned. Human.

A 6 year old. Someone who might be struggling with left and right and how to tie their shoes gets a lesson of what they are worth in America. That isn't a radicalizing notion?

But you know what? Marches actually work. There are new laws put into effort that remove blanket immunity to prosecution of Police Officers who miscarry justice. This is the first case in recent American history where the officers involved are not going to be protected from their actions because of their blue shield. Decry BLM's tactics all you want. That might be the only way that people get Justice in this country.

And if that's the case? Blame your governments for causing people to need to march for simple. Human. Decency.

Eek. Poor kid's going to not forget this anytime soon. Humanity isn't part of the job description apparently. Neither is protecting or serving the majority of civilians, according to the courts when pressed. You've every right to be angry, much more than what you allow yourself to write on here, it never stops even when the spotlight is right upon them because they're so comfortable in their legally gilded positions. The anti-BLM crowd are just a bloody headache to engage with too, I hope you're not allowing them to get to you too much, can be bad for mental health especially in the already difficult situations this clusterfuck enabled by soulless ghouls has wrought.

Yeah, I remember a run-in I had with the cops in my 20s, and something they said, felt a LOT like "I'm required by regulations to say this, but we're going to say it in a way that works for US." Basically I found myself in handcuffs, being frisked, despite me not driving the car that got pulled over, and not having anything on me as far as illegal stuff. I'm assuming it's because I was the most physically threatening member of the people in the car, because they sure didn't handcuff the 18 year old girl, who was 5ft 3in, waifish skinny. But my 6ft 4in ass had my hands cuffed behind my back.

I remember asking them "why am I handcuffed?" and they had a little talk outside of earshot. And then I had one of the police in my face "asking" me if I had a problem with how Officer Whoever was doing his job? Now, that phrase "Do you have a problem with how Officer Whoever is doing his job?" feels like the kind of thing that was put in place, to try and curb abusive police behavior. That if the suspect expresses concern about their treatment, you are required by law to ask them if they have a problem with the procedure. I'm assuming, if this is the case, that if I had said yes, they would be required to ask me if I want to file a complaint or whatever. BUUUUT, the WAY he said it, was total intimidation. He gets up IN my face. "YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH HOW THE OFFICER IS DOING HIS JOB?!?! " Typical dudebro posturing and alpha male behavior.

I remember that video. Good to know the ignorant assholes are in big trouble for this. Thanks for the news.
