Alabama Police Officer Arrested
 

Another day, another thug cop.:mad:

How many more are there out there?

My guess, a lot.

Waiting to read Zeke explain that a body slam for non-compliance is a GOOD THING!

That's effed up. :(

I don't understand. After they slammed him to the ground, injuring him, they told him to get up. They told him repeatedly, but he never did. Why didn't they beat him until he complied with the order to get up?

TYhe next video on that site revisits the case of the man shot for reaching back into his vehicle for his wallet, when ordered to produce his license. This officer has suffered severe consequences. He has been fired, and is now being prosecuted for felony assault and battery. he faces up to 20 years in jail.

His defense is that the subjects actions caused him to fear for his own safety and the safety of others. Well, that should win the case for him, shouldn't it? How can police function if their judgement in the field isn't going to be accepted, no matter how ridiculous and unfounded? What if the guy HAD been going for a gun? Sure, there was no reason to think he was, except that he was a scary black male, but should an officer have to take such a chance?

I don't care how Zeke responds to this, or if he responds at all.

I hate the son of a bitch and nothing he says or does will change that.

A recent arrival hailing from a poor village in India would be totally in awe walking through an American suburban neighborhood. Just about everything would seem very strange as if it's a different planet. Neighbors probably mistook his curiosity for peeking and voyeurism.

The cops OTOH should have known better and behaved professionally, especially after finding out that he did not understand any English and looked harmless. But then we know by now their rules for engagement.

At least in this instance the cop got fired (after some pressure like in Seattle?).

It can happen to anyone in an area they are unfamiliar with.

It happened to me the first time I went out for a walk right after I moved in to the neighborhood I now live in. I got lost and ended up wandering around for a half an hour before I found my street again.

After all these posts how can you guys still not get it? You have to comply. Cop say suck my dick. Suck his dick and you're fine. Don't suck his dick and you're paralyzed.

These days, often I find myself wandering around in the basement for a half an hour before I remember why I went down there.

Go back to where you were. Then you'll remember.

'Course that doesn't mean you won't forget again by the time you get back down in the basement again....

That is why the sticky note was invented.:)

I forgot where I put the pen!:o

I forgot I put in on my forehead.

What if I can't remember where I was?

1. Picture painted before police involvement.
2. English language is not necessary to understand compliance.
3. It got ugly.

Any one of the three things above, done differently, would have likely netted a different result.

What's the EASIEST one? "Comply."

The best one is, likely, Number Two.

The first one is going to be most difficult, in AL.

Pray for his salvation. No wonder this country is so fucked up. It never changes with the Christians. It's no different from back in the slave days when the slaves were taught all about how Christianity actually works. Listen...you're a slave...it's no big deal. This life doesn't matter, it's all about the next life. So be a good slave, don't start any trouble and when this miserable shit life is over, in the next life you will rejoice in the glory of the Lord forever.

Pray for his salvation...go fuck yourself.

It's worth noting, I suppose, that the author is a Baptist minister.

This life is but an instant, but determinative of what happens to the soul for all eternity. I can't imagine why a Christian who believes this would devote any effort whatsoever to anything but salvation.

AL is not known for being universally learned...

I suppose you're talking about Sharpton but he has nothing to do with this story. The author I was talking about is Rev. Jeff Hood.

Pay attention.

From the article from Post #16.

Priceless ignorance. Glad that I converted to atheism, I may not be saved but certainly safer. :D

I was referring to the State of Alabama using a Federally accepted shorthand.

Pay attention.

And you quoted my mentioning that the author of the piece is a minister.

Try to make your responses relevant to the statements you quote. It helps a lot.

Might I recommend knowing the title of the thread?

You might do any number of things, but a wank would probably serve you better than what you're typically up to hereabouts.

Perhaps.

But who has the time what with all of this kick ass accuracy I've been throwing down?

What you're throwing down is kick-ass-bore-me-to-death. :rolleyes:

That continues to be accurate.

More like puking up. I was gonna say squirting out, but thought that might be a smidgen crude.

Even were that the case, it'd still be vastly superior to your lame spew...

My dog's better than your dog,
My dog's better than yours,
His name is King,
And he had puppies,
My dog's better than yours.:rolleyes:

Alabama Governor Apologizes
 

The story mentions that Patel was handcuffed at the time he was slammed to the ground, a point I had not noted before.

Handcuffed and continued to resist?

The training on that IS directly to the ground...

I suppose it's a bit inane of me to even engage in asking the likes of you this question...but WTF, I can't help myself.

So you...just you personally, approve of such training that includes slamming a handcuffed guy to the ground with such severity as to paralyze him from the waist down?

No, no, no! This witty banter between you two is caviar on the PC cracker.

What with all this pissing and moaning about black folks and their entitlement, I thought Zeke was the PC cracker.

If the alternative is him potentially harming himself and others? Straight to the ground.

It that somehow produces harm via process?

Don't force the process via resisting and you won't even wind up on the ground.

You know thanks to a birth injury I cannot raise my left arm above shoulder height. I hope I never have a cop confront me or I would be a dead man.
