Why They Take a Knee - Pt 2

Still can't bring yourself to talk about the OP, I see.

Why am I not surprised another cowardly GOP shill won't discuss the article honestly?

What the fuck are you talking about, fat cunt! You've never changed, anybody that doesn't agree with you is a GOP shill ffs.

I will say this, if that story is true then the guy has a solid case and will walk away with a shedload of compensation, happy now? However you do have a track record of posting dubious bullshit from the likes of Raw Sewage and the Daily Lettuce!
 
Where that falls apart is he was also saying he couldn't breathe, when standing slumped against wall, due to the effects of a fentanyl/methylamphetamine overdose.

and i'll give you the part about drugs giving him a problem. I'm saying those were exacerbated by physical confinement and pressure on his carotid which was unnecessary once he had been cuffed.

i don't know about the first guy they arrested, but the one they arrested for video recording is gonna win some bucks because it's well settled law that citizens can record and they cannot take a phone unless that phone was USED in the crime, not simply recording one.

Yet the official autopsy said that there was no damage to the windpipe or the carotid artery. You only have to look at Floyd, he was built like an ox and was was a bouncer ffs!

And the city should fire these racist cheating cops who are costing them court cases and victim pay outs huh
 
Everyone prepare themselves for the usual buttload of excuses defending the police's actions from the usual JPP conservatives.


He filmed arrest of man shouting ‘I can’t breathe.’ Minutes later, he was in handcuffs


Orlando Truitt was on a walk to a North Highlands market last February when he saw a neighbor walking home carrying bags of takeout Chinese food.

Suddenly, a Sacramento sheriff’s car pulled up and told the man to stop, Truitt said.

Within minutes, his neighbor had been tackled to the ground, and had five or six deputies on top of him, Truitt said.

So Truitt, a 66-year-old Black man and retired nurse, instinctively resorted to the same tactic countless other Americans have in recent years: He pulled out his cellphone and began recording the incident.

“I’m gonna die,” the man on the ground was yelling. “I can’t breathe. I’m dying. Help. Help me.”

Truitt said he felt an obligation to record the incident, that as a member of the community it was his duty.

What he didn’t bargain for was being handcuffed for the first time in his life, being searched, having his cellphone taken from him and being detained while deputies ran a background check on him.

The ordeal is now the subject of a federal civil rights lawsuit against Sheriff Scott Jones and deputies, with Truitt alleging he was intimidated by deputies and subjected to an unlawful search and seizure, excessive force and interference of his First Amendment rights to record law enforcement actions in public.

“It’s unbelievable,” said Sacramento civil rights attorney Mark Merin, who filed the lawsuit. “These people are so insensitive, just dismissive of the rights of the public to record their activities that we feel compelled to do it.”

The Sheriff’s Office did not offer a comment after being provided a copy of the lawsuit.

But Merin and the Northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union say it is the latest example of overreaction by law enforcement when they see bystanders recording their actions in public.

“I’d say it’s been an issue that has cropped up increasingly when law enforcement feels they’re under pressure,” said ACLU senior staff attorney Sean Riordan. “In the border region, there were similar issues when there were calls for reform of the Border Patrol and Border Patrol agents were increasingly going after people who were recording incidents in public places.”

Riordan said there is no doubt that bystanders have a legal right to make such recordings.

“I think the most important general principle is courts time and again have recognized that the First Amendment strongly protects the right of individuals to record law enforcement activity in public places,” he said. “I can’t imagine a legitimate rationale for the conduct that’s alleged in the (Truitt) complaint.”

The lawsuit, which includes a transcription from the cellphone video Truitt recorded before a deputy took his phone and turned off the camera, describes the deputies detaining the man turning their attention toward Truitt as he moved closer into the street to record them while the suspect begged them to get off him.

“The officers did not get off of the man but instead verbally berated him: ‘Stop! Just stop! Knock it off! Cut the s---!,’” the suit says. “Additional officers pulled-up in patrol vehicles and began to arrive at the scene.”

One of the new arrivals was Deputy Kyle Zimmerman, the lawsuit says, who began talking to another deputy and pointed at Truitt as he continued to record.

Zimmerman then walked over to Truitt, the suit says.

“Hello. How’re you doing?” Zimmerman asked.

“I’m fine,” Truitt answered.

“Do you mind if we take a look at the video and see what happened?” Zimmerman asks.

“No,” Truitt answers.

“For investigation purposes and stuff like that?” Zimmerman asks, but Truitt still refuses.

“No? Alright, then,” Zimmerman said. “What’s your name and information?”

“You don’t need — you don’t need my name,” Truitt answers.

Zimmerman responds by telling Truitt he is standing in the roadway and “I could detain you,” the lawsuit says.

Truitt took a step back to stand on the sidewalk, but that wasn’t good enough, the suit says.

“Okay. Then you’re gonna get searched,” Zimmerman says, according to the suit. “I’m gonna search for an ID.”

“You don’t have a reason to search me,” Truitt says.

“I actually do,” Zimmerman responds, adding, “You were in the roadway...

“It’s actually an infraction to be in the roadway. Unless you are crossing the street. But you were not.”

Next, Zimmerman asks for another deputy’s help to search Truitt — who insists, “Don’t touch me” — as Zimmerman tells the other deputy to take Truitt’s phone and the recording is ended, the suit says.

The search alleges Truitt was subjected to unreasonable search and seizure, prolonged detention, excessive force and other violations.

It seeks compensatory and punitive damages “in an amount sufficient to deter and to make an example of (sheriff’s officials) because their actions and/or inactions, as alleged, were motivated by evil motive or intent (and) involved reckless or callous indifference to constitutionally protected rights.”

The cops are a disgrace. Far too often such nasty, bully, power crazy cops act as untouchables. Not only that they have a snidey psyche whereby they truly think the person they deal with can not possibly know their rights. Such arrogance brings their downfall and rightly so.

blood flow inhibition can cause brain issues without leaving damage to the carotid. probably why it took 8 minutes. yes, he was a big boy, but he was handcuffed and 3 people should have been able to keep him down without being on his neck
 
He wasn't being choked and the restraint was perfectly legal! He died from a drugs cocktail overdose. He'd already swallowed a fuckton of pills a year previously when stopped by police. This woman can attest to his kind generous nature!

And thats the truth. But these lefties LOVE HIM. They pretend they support black people but they don't - its just a trend to hang on to.

The trial starts at the end of the month so we will all know the full facts soon enough.

Because our police unions have been become infected by racists who protect racist cops


Systematic racism
 
White cops choking out a suspect...black man pinned to the ground by multiple officers.

Exactly as I thought. No evidence of racism whatsoever. White cop commits police brutality. If the subject is white, it's just run of the mill police brutality. If the subject is a minority, it's automatically a result of racism. You sir are truly an idiot.

Thanks for confirming.

oh, you mean like the jewish FOP president of the houston police and the hispanic police chief Acevedo defending black cop gerald goines after he and his fellow goons murdered a white couple and their dog when he lied and falsified an affidavit for a no knock raid????

damn systemic racism......................

you dumb slut

I think just about one of the most nauseating things I ever witnessed is the likes of P. Lousy, Chucky Schumer and that race hustler Al Sharpton mourning on live TV over Floyd. How Americans don't see through that politically motivated bullshit is truly beyond me.
