Police Taze African American For Jay Walking, Video Of Racist Incident By ABC News!!!

Impediment to street traffic and dangerous. I've seen a lot of traffic accidents caused by people slamming on brakes because some idiot walked out in front of them.

Most jaywalkers I see around here do so within 20 - 30 feet of a crosswalk or intersection.

 

Apples to oranges again, Jeb?

Jay-walking illegal misdemeanor in most US jurisdictions.
Open-carry legal in the video's jurisdiction.

See the distinction?

If not, keep your agenda to yourself.

 

The guy was being a complete ass. He got what he deserved. Good for the cops for putting that punk in his place.

 

...Obama voters...

These losers probably think there is a payday in this for them.

 

What a load of clueless leftist Obama voting loser crap.

 

The white police harassed him for jay walking, they would have never treated whites like that. This was in the south where they are extra racist.

 

No, he was a loud mouthed loser who should have just showed his ID and got on with his day. Typical of Obama voters to look for racist implications in an encounter with cops, like he is some sort of new Rodney King or something. The man acted like an ass and got what he deserved.

 

They singled him out because he was not white like them and they knew he was armed because he was black so if he reached for his ID they would have shot him and said he was reaching for his pistol.

He had to act like that because the system is racist and corrupt and put him in that position.

 

Bingo! Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.

Wait until they start arresting people for not buying Obamacare policies.

Maybe you haven't heard, but it's not the job of the police to "put punks in their place." Police are public servants. WE pay THEIR paychecks. Their sole job is to enforce the law. That is IT.

 

No. They singled him out because he was a jay-walker creating a potential traffic hazard, and he acted like a loser and was treated accordingly. He was no victim. If he had showed his ID and appologized he would have been on his merry way.

 

Maybe you haven't heard, but that is exactly what they were doing.

 

They would have never asked for the ID of a white person who was jaywalking, it was emotionally abusive to the african american thats why he flipped out.

 

Apparently you are incapable of separating what a person SHOULD DO from what they ACTUALLY DO.

I KNOW that's what they were doing, my point is it was wrong because that is not their job.

 

TNB.....nothing else to say.......

 

You show ID when a cop asks so you can be identified and cops don't ask for ID unless you're suspected or accused of violating a law. Its the law. If a cop asks for ID, you have to show it as long as he has a reason to ask. Jaywalking is a pretty good reason, especially when you basically disrespect the cop from the word go. Do you tell Best Buy to "shove it" when they ask for ID to prove that CC is yours? How about a clerk at a Liquor store? When you get asked for ID to buy a 6pack, do you tell him to go get his supervisor? I bet those 2 idiots showed their ID plenty of times to some minimum wage guy behind a counter, but showing ID to a cop who's sole purpose is to protect you...that's just insanity!!!!

Utter fools.

 

Typical thread...

All the right wing bendovers are bending over and asking for the man to give it to them some more.

Tazers are a violent weapon that should be used instead of deadly force under a threat. They should be treated like a baton. Can a cop decide to baton you for j-walking? If you listen to a bunch of no brain drones here, the answer is yes.

The we have the idiot police chief who says he is going to use this as a training video. Go on out and taze anyone you feel like who gives you lip, because you are a jack booted cop.

Seriously, you have to have a law requiring the presentation of ID and if you are a power hungry egotistical cop and want to arrest this guy for j-walking and not presenting an ID, then do so. But you have to then say that he is under arrest and give him the charge he is being arrested for. But you can't resist arrest when you are not being arrested for any charge. And the cop gave him no charge to arrest him for. As a cop, you can't just arrest someone for being a wise ass, without a charge, and then charge them with resisting an arrest when there was no charges in the first place.

 

Jay walking is against the law, and it is one of my pet hates, so I am glad he was cited for it. However, I question whether tasing him was necessary.

 

Is that Emily Blunt?

 

I'm curious if you watched the video? The cop accused him of breaking a law in the very beginning and the guy started arguing. Since the cop accused him of something, that he obviously did, then the cop has the right to ask for his ID to issue him a ticket, or take whatever course of action he feels fit. Just because the guy is running around screaming he isn't resisting, that doesn't make it so. He was obviously resisting, creating a scene, and other people started joining making a crowd. You honestly don't think that cop started worrying about his safety, especially in the world of reverse racism we live in, with all that going on, thus leading to the decision to taze him? It's not up to any of us to decide if a law is enforceable or not, that is what the court is for (see Obamacare). If we could decide which laws we want to cooperate with... what a world we would live in, eh?

To me, it is beyond obvious that that guy and his girlfriend were out looking to start an issue with a cop. Why else would they have been recording the conversation from the word go? Seriously... the guy was asking for trouble from those cops, and he got it. Unfortunately for that guy and girl, those cops were very clear with their commands, and their intents and didn't at any point use excessive force. That is of course, my 2 cents.

 

I'm sure that an impartial audit of that particular police department will show that the city is using it as a revenue generator by harassing poor people for BS issues. There intent is to raiuse revenue by citing people for minor issues. They concentrate on the poor because they don't have the resources to fight the charges. It's just another example of strong arm police tactics. You may think that the couple had it coming to them. However, you or someone in your family will also soon suffer the same fate. Welcome to the Third World.

 

Some cops are doing to Americans what they did to Iraqis or Afghanis.

Some gurus of "curb side justice" will say, "Them is Iraqis."

But, it is all done under the US occupation. Just as Saddam was responsible for everything, so are the USers who deliberately chose, with malice aforethought and false witness, to invade Iraq and wreck the lives of millions of people who never did anything to hurt the USA.

 

First they were racially profiled for jay walking, thats not a real crime because whites never get harassed for it.

Secondly , they don't need to show ID for Jay walking unless they look hispanic because those could be illegal immigrants and under laws in southern states thats fine until the DOJ decides that in court.

Third and lastly, Tazer is a violent weapon and should not be used for someone who doesn't show their ID.

 

A video shows Casselberry officers using Tasers on a man after they say he ignored crosswalk signals, and refused to identify himself.

The man and his friend said police crossed the line.

Absolutely right they did, but then, this is the United Police State of America now. Don't anger the pigs or it's zappa time..

 

I see idiots doing it all the time where I live, black and white alike. I wish they wouldn't, but tasing them is obviously over the line.. Or at least it would be in a free country.
