Brutal arrest of Black student in Florida shows benefits of recording police from new vantage point

Well let's flip that, are you a complete Jackass or just trying to act Klan?

Who knew about racism in America before you got here?

You're keeping it alive and well in your party. Why?

How many black babies did you kill this week?

Did you make your quota?

Fortunately the black man had a camera inside his car and it captured it all on video. Systemic racism I am not to say. But I this is an occurrence all over the USA.

McNeil is hardly the first Black motorist to record video during a traffic stop that turned violent — Philando Castile's girlfriend livestreamed the bloody aftermath of his death during a 2016 traffic stop near Minneapolis.

And that video is what exonerated Officer Geronimo Yanez, as a self-defense action, when Castille reached into his center console allowing his hand to disappear from the cop's view - instantaneous death sentence.

Fortunately the black man had a camera in the car as the "several" body cams failed to capture the beating

William McNeil Jr. captured his February traffic stop on his cellphone camera, which was mounted above his dashboard. It offered a unique view, providing the only clear footage of the violence by officers, including punches to his head that can't clearly be seen in officer body camera footage released by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

The first punch was uncalled for

They should have just dragged him out of the car which they later did

But the black guy was also wrong for instigating the incident to begin with

He should have followed orders and got out of the car

In my opinion he is not entitled to a payout for bring stupid

You don't get forced out of your car because the cops used a lame excuse to pull you over.

Whether or not it was a lame excuse does not exempt the driver from following lawful orders

Or even orders that the legal system (meaning DAs, judges and juries) might later deem illegal

There is no lawful order in ordering someone out of their car because you felt he should have had his headlights on.

Or even orders that the legal system (meaning DAs, judges and juries) might later deems illegal

I disagree 100%.

Blacks should understand how sick and tired the police are with dealing with them.

That is part of the officers job

The black driver could dispute later in court whether is headlights should have been on

"Sir, you should have your lights on in the drizzle"

"thank you officer"

Done deal.

Done deal.

Thats a police decision

Every ticket written could be a warning instead

In fact, we dont know if the driver would have been ticketed if he had been more cooperative

That's not how it goes down. The black driver throws a g-ddamn fit.

He asked what he did wrong and the officer smashes out his window,

He asked what he did wrong and the officer smashes out his window,

He should have rolled his window down.

Follow police orders first, ask questions later

 

[Woodznutz]

Follow police orders first, ask questions later

I'm white and the cops still try to push my buttons. I don't take the bait. Remain calm and cooperative.

Intelligent black people agree with you
