12 cops tackled and arrested one man-but it didn't end there | Police Accountability Report

Disgraced former Baltimore Police Sgt. Ethan Newberg has pled guilty to making at least nine illegal arrests during his time as an active police officer-and despite damning video evidence, faces no jail time. Police Accountability Report returns to the case of Newberg with a look at two videos released as a result of the Baltimore District Attorney's 32-count indictment against Newberg. The footage demonstrates not just Newberg's capricious and often violent use of police power, but the culture of obedience and corruption within the police department that fosters and enables such behavior. Taya Graham and Stephen Janis discuss the wider implications of the Newberg case on not just the city of Baltimore but the question of police violence at a national level.

As I've gotten older I realize one of the most dangerous things on this planet is a person of power with an ego..

[@getacare2735]

When you act like gang members yourself you're no longer law enforcement you are a criminal

[@ryantaylor4015]

every arrest this cop guy ever made should be called into question

[@fireballsoutherner]

A community with cops like these has no room for other criminals.

[@Billcordell-id7sz]

This is classic! The old "stop resisting" when he CLEARLY isn't doing anything, with his wrists and arms uncomfortably behind his back.

[@mwolfrey]

Did he give the same excuse for both arrests?

[@cchelleclark]

As a retired officer - this officer should be held accountable and charged with assault and fired - illegal arrest because of our civil rights this officer disgusts me this type of officer makes the good ones look awful - smh- I hope this person sues the entire department

[@sharonobryan9713]

"Say something, I want you to." How would him saying anything other than a threat cause any action on the part of an officer?!

[@pete6300]

10 officers in a big city. That's at least a million dollars worth of law enforcement.

[@susanpaisley3534]

DESPICABLE BEHAVIOR FROM OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS.

[@ashleypatterson4053]

Thanks for showing this so the world can see how they treat us..

[@ascher40]

The word 'Baltimore' says it all!!!

[@santaclaracountycopwatch6824]

" hey boss" from behind and then snatching him up like that looked more like a robbery than it did an arrest

"The most fragile, cowardly people in our society just happen to be bestowed with the most inordinate amount of power and privilege. What a reckless combination."

[@KoolHandzMusic-vx4my]

The competency of cops just gets lower and lower🤦🏾‍♂️

[@deepstatethrombosis]

It's so cool how all those "good cops" step in and stop the "one bad apple" cop from "spoiling the bunch." I'm so fed up with this.

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

12 Cops arresting 1 Guy...All that funding we give cops, How about buying them Chicken Suits?

[@LeeFree-bm7rw]

this cop needs to be fired and put in prison for 5 years

[@kellydiver]

The irony is not lost on me that this is happening in Baltimore - a city that was central to our country’s fight for independence from tyrannical treatment by the King of England.
