How much hate am i going to get if i say something about how it looked like he was sizing him up taking his coat off like that?

(yes its still bullshit, i know)

Listen to the audio. He tells the cop if he was a real man he'd fight him without his gun, or something like that. Right to have the cop lunge at him and start pounding away on him on the ground? I'm gonna say no, but again that's not the right way to hand it either so yeah.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

The back seat anger part is something else! Traumatizing. WTF.... Over jay walking and intimidation.

It might have been initially but fast forward to like 1:55 or so and turn up the audio.

edit: hehe, you edited your post so I guess you heard it

Just re-watched it. You are right.

edit: lol.. yup!

 

[theignoramus]

Shout out to the people retrained enough to protest nonviolently. Id be in the mood to fight and probably get locked up.

 

[ColdPizza]

Uh. I would have crossed in the same place. Is he supposed to go down the street however far the crosswalk is and then come all the way back? Can we just eliminate these fucking useless laws and get back to common sense and personal responsibility?

"If you a real man, you can put your gun away and fight me like a real man"

Yeaaaah, a cop shouldn't be so easily goaded. But man, you're talking about US cops dude. Careful what you wish for.

NBC footage puts those quotes in.

 

[Stabby McSter]

oh great right in my hometown

Jaywalking is a bullshit law anyways.

What kind of neanderthal are you if you as an officer are goaded into acting like a thug over a jaywalking incident?
Some of these cops are probably on steroids, in addition to being neo-nazis.

Hes lucky he didnt get shot dealing with such a psycho.

Isn't that what I said?

He's a police officer. He shouldn't be so easily goaded. He shouldn't be provoked at all when that provocation is non-violent.

If I tell a cop "I had sex with your mother", he should be above abusing his power to beat the shit out of me over immature words.

 

[The Greek Freak]

Almost seems like harassment. Just trying to start a fight. Intimidation.

Wonder if there was any "real" crimes going on in Sacramento that the officer could have been attending to.

Just the mayor embezzling money and molesting 13 yr olds!

 

[phaonaut]

This video shows the jaywalking at an intersection of some sort further down the road.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2E7aTsyowM

Here in the UK we don't have these laws. To us, the guy simply crossed the road.

Edit: Correction, its a 2 way.

 

[ColdPizza]

Thats a 4 way stop in that video, not sure why he wouldn't be able to cross there.

It's 2 way. You see cars flying by.

 

[BasicMath]

The guy seemed very confrontational early in the video. I completely understand the cop being on his guard and maybe even some of the overreaction initially.

The cop should have never gone as far as he did though. That was fucked up. The guy pretty much wanted out of it and well there's no way you can defend yourself because you'd be attacking a police officer at that point. It's unfair and cowardly for the cop to just continue on and on.

what if evilore secretly hates us?

Putting a nigger in his place was as good a reason as any to get violent.

That isn't jaywalking. 4-way intersections without marked crosswalks are considered an 'unmarked crosswalk', and you can cross.

They don't act this way toward the dominant society, who either feel comfortably apathetic or (as you see in youtube comments or articulated by right wingers) highly supportive of cops abusing minorities.

Seeing these clips really reinforced the whole being white thing has it kicks with the cops.

I see clips like this and the man shot last year after they attempted to run him over, from my experience the police have been nice to me, hell one time I was jaywalking they just yelled at me on the car speaker.

At least they kicked up security on light rail, I have had two run ins with dudes with a gun, friend saw a dude killed outside at a stop and my fathers roommate when he was in rehab was killed waiting for a train late one night.

This town and our basketball team are just terrible.

[Cotton McKnight]

He jaywalked in a suburb?

I could understand jaywalking on a main street in SAC, but in a neighborhood? Geez, my 7 years in the burbs there everyone jaywalked in the neighborhoods. C'mon policeman, what is that?

True.

I guarantee that there is at least one person on GAF that will see no problem with the conduct of those officers.

Video evidence has done jack shit to stop police brutality.

Someone should get on that. Between this video, the jay walking beatdown, and the curb stomping video, I've been in a cold rage the entire night, I need to mentally check out for a bit.

Completely reminded me of the scene in Straight Outta Compton where the cops just tell em to get on the ground for no reason outside their studio. Crazy to still see shit like this happening.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Jaywalking while Black.

Added to the list.

Many cops will use any minor, inchoate infraction of the law committed by a black person to initiate a confrontation and at best initiate a search and at worst feel free to commit violence against said person.

This true, y'all.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Wow THAT IS SOME FUCKING BULLSHIT.

No way the guy deserved that encounter at all, and the people who point it out damn well know they Jaywalk themselves especially in residential areas.

 

[StopMakingSense]

I was expecting like a city street. This is a neighborhood. I didn't even know there were jaywalking laws for residential streets.

This isn't even jaywalking. He crossed at a 4 way intersection. It's considered an unmarked crosswalk.

So the cop ignored cars failing to yield just to harass this guy.

 

[nitekrawlwer]

Ive never seen jaywalking enforced in such a way that you get slammed to the ground as an end result.

For your viewing pleasure.

 

[III-V]

For your viewing pleasure.

bad boys bad boys watcha gonna do watch gonna do when they come for you?

this is incomprehensible.

 

[Skellig Gra]

This is the shit they need to worry about in Sacramento? I didn't realize the crime rate was so low that they need to bust up jaywalking rings.

 

[Nikodemos]

This. It's a bullshit 'offense' invented and strongly pushed by the auto lobby.

 

[Slayven]

Now here's a likkle truth, open up your eye
While you're checkin' out the boom-bap, check the exercise
Take the word overseer, like a sample
Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example
Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer
Officer, officer, officer, officer
Yeah, officer from overseer
You need a little clarity? Check the similarity!
The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation
The overseer could stop you, "What you're doing?"
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest
(Woop!) They both ride horses
After 400 years, I've got no choices

 

[KarneeKarnay]

I don't understand US law enforcement. Don't get me wrong we have our fair share of racist officers in the UK, but in US it feels like they can get away with murder and do.

 

[Squalor]

Cop logic: "You jaywalked, so I'm going to confront you in the middle of the street."

 

[Anticol]

It's america, cops there are always looking for an excuse to harm people, thats it.

Land of the free, where you don't even have the freedom to cross the road whenever you want.
