'Pain compliance': Video shows trooper pummeling Black man

[Superbadbrutha]

There are people who complain about that. I know people who home school their kids to avoid that. I suppose I do not know if they are Trump supporters or not.

They are a very small %, because most kids are in school.

I am far from a Trump supporter but I will never trust someone who says that a pandemic is worth the risk of doing risky virus research.

I absolutely disagree.

Body camera video needs to be available immediately to more than the police. If you want to argue it can't all always be released right away fine but it should always immediately be available to some system outside of the law enforcement system.

So... you're cruising the boulevard some fine evening and you find yourself being arrested on a D&D with a tranny hooker. Police are great respecters of personal privacy and what happens in the alley behind The Blue Oyster stays between you, the cops, and Ms Tiffany LeToure.

However, now the police body cams are public record and when you show up to teach your English Class at Degrasse Junior High, all the students and faculty are watching a live stream of you trying to punch on with police with your dockers down around your ankles.

Safe to say that when most people end up on a police body cam, you aren't seeing them at their best. I'm not sure most people would NOT like to see their weekend antics on Facebook on Monday Morning ... neither would their wives, bosses, and co-workers.

I didn't argue to play them in prime time.

In case you have forgotten the date, we are well into The Information Age and the only law more inviolate than Rule 34 is ... once digital information has been shared with someone in the public, it has been shared with EVERYONE in the public.

I guarantee that within a week of any legislation that makes police body cams publicly accessible... there will be websites dedicated to showing their highlights.

It might become one of my favorite places on the Internet, second only to this place.

I didn't say it should be shared with the public. Most video's would likely never be watched by anyone.

The same gestapo shows up to force children to wear masks at schools. A SWAT team showed up at a school. I keep telling Non Progs...do not trust the cops unless they are proven to be on your side. The fiefdom has salary, benefits and pensions. .

Come on man... Give a break.... It's not as bad as what they're doing in Australia yet!!

Should be good listening to the usual suspects coming out to defend this officer's actions and blame the victim in this case.

Right on cue...

That's where your wrong. Police body cams are very often comedy gold.

One of the things police do these days is, when people come in to make a complaint about how the police treated them on the weekend, is show them the bodycam footage of the arrest and transport.

The look on their face is priceless when it become clear to them that the way they remembered the incident is not exactly what the camera captured and their drunk, belligerent rant is liberally peppered with language that would make a Marine blush.

Would you care to withdraw your complaint, Sir?

On the other hand, most police are well-drilled on how to act on camera. I don't curse, I don't raise my voice unless there is a weapon involved. I use Sir, thank you, and please, and I make sure that the pain compliance is proportional if the Sir, thank you, and please don't seem to be working.

That's just one of the other crises created by the administration... WE are dealing also with the Border and now the surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Graphic body camera video kept secret for more than two years shows a Louisiana State Police trooper pummeling a Black motorist 18 times with a flashlight — an attack the trooper defended as “pain compliance.”

“I’m not resisting! I'm not resisting!” Aaron Larry Bowman can be heard screaming between blows on the footage obtained by The Associated Press. The May 2019 beating following a traffic stop left him with a broken jaw, three broken ribs, a broken wrist and a gash to his head that required six staples to close.

Bowman's encounter near his Monroe home came less than three weeks after troopers from the same embattled agency punched, stunned and dragged another Black motorist, Ronald Greene, before he died in police custody on a rural roadside in northeast Louisiana. Video of Greene’s death similarly remained under wraps before AP obtained and published it earlier this year.

Federal prosecutors are examining both cases in a widening investigation into police brutality and potential cover-ups involving both troopers and state police brass.

State police didn’t investigate the attack on Bowman until 536 days after it occurred — even though it was captured on body camera — and only did so weeks after Bowman brought a civil lawsuit.

The state police released a statement Wednesday saying that Jacob Brown, the white trooper who struck Bowman, “engaged in excessive and unjustifiable actions," failed to report the use of force to his supervisors and “intentionally mislabeled” his body camera video.

'Pain compliance': Video shows trooper pummeling Black man

This is why we need to step up our efforts for Police Reform across this country.

Having video doesn't even get these officers convicted.

They are protected by those at the top that is why this type of police brutality continues.

Should be good listening to the usual suspects coming out to defend this officer's actions and blame the victim in this case.

something we could expect from gangsters not officers of the law.

No, it shouldn't just be the police that have access to the video.

Fauci was top dog in the Trump administration also.

Are there not privacy laws protecting filming on private property? Otherwise anyone may publish film taken from a public place, as far as I know.

 

[cnm]

I love it.

 

[fncceo]

No, it shouldn't just be the police that have access to the video.

It isn't.

BWC footage is categorized and stored. If BWC is ever used as prosecutory evidence, it is part of defense discovery and MUST be shared with the defense attorney.

It can be subpoenaed for both civil and criminal charges against police.

It can even be requested under the Freedom of Information Act.

I just saw this on television.

Fair enough, just remember that would open the door to videos of all the abuse cops get.

There certainly may be.. Yet police cam's are shown weekly on this cable show of arrests, shootings and police doing their job to serve and protect.

A family should not have to get a lawyer to pry the video away from the cops.
