Fat pigs don’t deserve respect.
Big fat cowards, against a small woman. Real courageous dudes heah?
Power hungry pigs.
Pigs don’t tell on pigs. We need more cameras on these pigs.
Any cop that defends this is a pig by definition.
You gotta hand it to white supremacy and white privilege. You lecture a black woman you’ve just violently assaulted about the violent tendencies of black people, without even a hint of self-awareness.
Too many police have gotten into policing for the opportunity to vent their white rage.
She was resisting, plain and simple. If a white person resisted like she did, the same reaction from the police would occur. When engaged with a police officer, do not resist. If something is done illegally, one can sue later. Simple.
absolutely-she refused to put her foot in the car…he should have shot her 14 times for that.
After a fender bender a cop asked me to sit in the back of his car while he took information from the other guy. I have mild claustrophobia and asked him to leave the door open; he did and let me keep my feet outside. Of course, I’m white, so he didn’t think I was dangerous.
How do you get slammed to the ground, cuffed and taken to jail for what should have been an expensive speeding ticket? You commit the crime of Driving While Black. The sight of two lard assed white cops beating up a small black woman makes me sick. I am ashamed that it took ubiquitous video for me to realize that this happens every day to innocent citizens. Now we are aware and need to stop it.
She was not resisting, she was asking him questions. But I guess questioning authority while black is a crime now.
Unless it’s Zsa Zsa Gabor.
White people aren’t pulled over for speeding, dumb dumb. Of if they are, the women start crying or flipping their hair and the dudes respond with, “Do you know who my daddy is?”
I have sworn off driving because I want to opt out of contact with these power-tripping louts!
FIRE THIS FUCKHEAD NOW!!!
The unnecessary violence was, of course, hideous. But I also had a strong visceral reaction to the three men standing around congratulating each other on the good catch, and how she was a fighter.
It was like they had divorced the woman from humanity and reduced her to some kind of game or farm animal.
TERMINATE HIS EMPLOYMENT IMMEDIATELY!!!
She was not resisting at all. At all. Zero. And then she was violently attacked by a psychotic monster. A phycotic monster who clearly should be charged with attempted murder. Because that was attempted murder, it was only pure luck she did not die from that horrific assault. The fact that you could look at that and not be sickened to the point of vomiting, that speaks volumes.
Exactly so! Which is why he needs to be FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!!
Yeah, we don’t need police officers like that. There are many people who are deserving of law enforcement careers who need a good job and will do a good job of respecting citizens. Why do we waste tax dollars on such poor hiring practices in our police departments? Where is Human Resource Management in our law enforcement departments? There are a lot of good people graduating from college who can do that well, too.
And sorry, Ms. Spradlin, that sure sucked, but you are a tough lady. And thank you for being a school teacher. Keep on teaching those kids to love and respect one another. America needs you!
That’s an HEB parking lot in my neighborhood. Not the best part of town. But DAMN! This guy was taking out his anger on this suspect. He could have dislocated her shoulders. “I had to slam her back down. I didn’t want to hit her. But I slammed her a couple of times.” Nice work, asshole.
Justice Roberts, your comments, please.
Donald Trump, you are hurting the country. I want you to get the humiliation of your life, and I want your exploding head on video when it happens. May decency and reality strongly reject the racist fears and hatred of your followers in November.
Austin police union: a good baby step, one that your fellow organizations have found too scary to take. Keep moving forward, weed out bad cops, bad culture, and bad policies, and you will find that your job is a lot easier and more rewarding than when you spend it defending crimes committed under cover of the uniform.
America: keep the cameras rolling.
What in the fuck was that all about? I really believe there’s a large percentage of white guys that go into law enforcement for the power of lording over blacks because they think, rightly so, they can get away with most if not all of it.
