More routine thuggery in this arrest of a homeless guy who was believed to be having a mental health crisis and resisted being detained.

UPDATE: Crawford County officers caught on video pummeling shoeless man, deputies suspended - Arkansas Times

An absolutely brutal arrest in Mulberry today left witnesses shaken. Cellphone video captured three officers beating a shoeless man, and punching his head into the cement. Witnesses tried to intervene.

On a very practical note demanding someone doesn’t resist while beating them to stop resistance is seen by coppers as a legitimate form of police escalation of violence

They train that way.

They shout stop resisting whilst beating you. Multiple police forces do this.

Yep, seen it.

Fortunately not experienced it.

Yep. Seen this too many times for it to be 'bad apples' or any of that shit.

It's also done for the benefit of the tape if someone gets badly hurt and there's misconduct hearings or whatever.

In some cases, when they're restricting your breathing by kneeling on your ribcage, or using their bodyweight to put pressure on your skull, your body will not let you 'stop resisting' because your instincts say, 'if I give up, go limp, lie still, then I will die'. This is, in my opinion, torture. And again, standard practice. Not in the US or Iran or Russia; standard practice right here. I've seen it many times. Every time there have been multiple coppers on the scene and never have I seen any of them intervene to stop this kind of shit.

That was a “recognition like”.

It’s like if someone clamps their hand over your mouth and nose to try and suffocate you. You don’t have any choice about resisting once the CO2 starts to build up.

I think some of them are scared of intervening because of how it will look on the tape and what will happen to them after.

Only seen it once, with an older copper.

Bloody hell.
Body cam footage shows the police entering the apartment, detaining someone, then they

released a police dog which trotted around into the kitchen then barked at a bedroom door. Anderson held the dog back before opening the door and then immediately fired his gun into the bedroom as Lewis sat up in bed.

In a frame-by-frame breakdown of the video, police chief Elaine Bryant said that Anderson fired the gun when Lewis appeared to raise his hand while holding onto something.

“There was, like, a vape pen that was found on the bed right next to him,” Bryant said.

Lewis was transported to a hospital after treatment on the scene and later pronounced dead.

What a story.

“Abundant Life Ministries” looks like it could be the name of one of those “prosperity gospel” churches at first, but a quick Google (as well as the Pastor’s behaviour, obv) dispels that.

 

[spring-peeper]

The pastor is suing the town and police force for arresting him for watering his friend's garden. The friend was gone on vacation and the pastor was looking after his home, picking up mail, watering the garden.

When I first read it, the article said he was arrested for not giving his name. Video shows him greeting the police and saying something along the lines of "Hi, I'm pastor #$%$ and I'm watering my friend's flowers"

Did I mention that he is Black?

A Black pastor arrested while watering his neighbor's flowers has filed a federal lawsuit | CNN

Attorneys for Michael Jennings, a Black pastor arrested while watering his neighbor's flowers, filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday alleging that the three Childersburg, Alabama, police officers who arrested him violated his righs under the First and Fourth amendments.,

Long one on LA County Sheriff's Department and its deputy gangs

A Tradition of Violence: The History of Deputy Gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department - Knock LA

An extensive investigation into more than five decades of abuse, terror, and murder carried out by LASD deputy gangs.

knock-la.com

It's all going off right now - LASD has executed search warrants on members of the civilian oversight body investigating deputy click gangs - with the raids overseen by an Under-Sheriff accused of being a gang member and who had repeatedly defied subpoenas to testify under oath

 

[teqniq]

So LAPD are an organised crime gang. I know this already having posted at least one link to an article relating to this from the LA Times quite possibly on this thread. Sounds akin to the Met in the UK, but just worse.

Story of local (to me) man that got tazered in the face and was also - ironically- on the police advisory board.

Fucking hell.

Fucking hell.

He 'fell to the floor while "grappling" with another officer during a "training scenario" and suffered "a punctured lung, broken ribs, a damaged liver and a severe head wound. His spinal cord was broken in three places..."

There's no defence for this sort of shit.

Nuts.

That's crazy.

He at least got fired but that is attempted murder.

This is incredible. A quiet street. No crime being committed. And then cops arrive...
