Important lesson to be learned here, if you're in the city of Milwaukee and need the police just call 911 and tell them a black man is using 2 parking spaces.

8 cop cars!

Yeah when the camera showed everyone pulling up I was like WTF why is the whole police department there for a double parking...jesus

"I'm sorry I didn't recognize your famous name." Haha, such a typical cop comment. There must be a required course in sarcasm at the academy.

Or they hire complete morons without doing a psychological test or study of potential employees/officers.

I knew some dumb, arrogant assholes from high school that were able to get a job with the PPB because of their aggressive tendencies which the PPB were looking for at the time.

According to the police report, the arresting officer wrote that he was conducting a business check at a Walgreens around 2 a.m. when he saw a vehicle illegally parked horizontally across two handicapped parking spaces. A passenger told the officer the driver was in the Walgreens, the officer wrote.

The driver, described as a tall black male -- later identified as Brown -- approached him "and stood within arm's reach," the officer wrote.

The officer said he "repeatedly" asked Brown to step back but Brown refused.

"Brown became very aggressive," said the officer, who called for another squad car.

As a sergeant who arrived interviewed Brown, he "physically resisted officers attempts to handcuff him and he was taken to the ground in a controlled manner," the arresting officer wrote in the report. The officer said he tried to help his colleagues "because Brown continued to resist being handcuffed."

"A Taser had to be employed to get Brown in control with handcuffs," according to the arresting officer.

Brown was never out of control. He was nervous and trying to figure out what the hell was going on. A cop started harrasing him because the color of his skin, then half the police department showed up. Brown probably thought he was going to get shot. I thought he kept pretty dambed composed considering.

The initial report when all this broke months ago...

Milwaukee Police officers were writing a parking ticket on Brown's Mercedes when Brown confronted them and became combative. One of the officers then used his Taser on Brown and arrested him for resisting arrest.

Every one of those fucks involved in the take down should be suspended IMO. The guy who assaulted him with a dangerous weapon (a taser) should obviously be fired, and possibly jailed.

Suspended? We want obviously racist officers who assault people for being black still on the force and NOT behind bars?

Yeah no. These MFs need to be prosecuted.

Suspended...
 
Been tased and hit with tear gas.....both horrible experiences and wouldn’t wish on anybody.

Its hard to take a decent picture when your being tazed and hit with tear gas

If it turns out these guys were abusing their power, and using their power to abuse random citizens, the sooner they are off of patrolling the streets, the better off we'll all be. Need to continue to thin the herd of the bad seeds. I've had a few run-ins with dick head abusive cops in my day (never tazed, thank god). Guys like that give all cops a bad rep.

Honestly, just getting them out of policing isn't nearly enough. They need to be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Actually, I don't want to see a video of an innocent, non-combative man being tazed, but I'm glad the video exists. It will insure the assholes responsible are held accountable.

You would think. Sadly, there have been many instances of police brutality, that were caught on film, where charges were never filed. And even more where charges were filed, but the cops were still acquitted. Video evidence still takes a back seat to a cop saying "I felt threatened."

Shit. I just got through the thread, reading all the statements released by various people fucking trying to hold back tears here.

Why are you tagging me... I support reform and want the officer prosecuted... I’m very big on accountability... this is what you do, group people and stereotype because their opinion on something differs from yours... I want awareness brought to police brutality and I want the bad officers to pay for the injustice... I just don’t agree with kneeling during the anthem and don’t believe it’s an effective way to do it

I do believe you. And it's fine for you to not agree with other people kneeling - that's your prerogative. What I really want to get through to you is that your disagreement does not supersede the rights of others. Disagree all you want, but don't support rules or laws that take away the rights we all have equal access to. Unfortunately this even extends to hate groups that have nothing positive to offer society - the ACLU consistently defends the rights of Neo-Nazi groups and individuals.

This shit - and many other issues - is not going to go away anytime soon, and certainly won't if people aren't constantly reminded that it's happening every minute of every day across the entire country. Kneeling is not going to make it stop. But it is one small action that will continue to be a reminder. And hopefully, when taken together with all sorts of other actions - big and small - will actually result in some real change at some point. This is the snowball rolling down the hill - it's still near the top of the hill, but with each action added, each voice added, the snowball gets bigger and bigger.

That is so fucked up. How, in the face of overwhelming evidence, are they not fired? How ass backwards is that?

Society, man. :(

cops rarely get fired for stepping over the lines of responsibility....they are usually a tight knit clique
