[@Ivan.Wright]

@@pandoratheclay My understanding is that if the right of an individual is not clearly established then the official who violated said right is immune to litigation. But the way it's used seems to me to be something more like "If the official had no knowledge of a possible rights violation then they are immune". But often it lies somewhere in between. They use case law rather than the constitution also which means "clearly established" doesn't mean "written into the freaking constitution" it means "we've gotten in trouble for this before" because of the case law. That's just part of my understanding at least. It's made even worse by not teaching cops our rights under the constitution. The term should read be called "ignorance immunity" but then they'd be too apparent in their hypocrisy as "ignorance of the law is not an excuse for violating it"..

It wasn't over 4 candles. That was the justification. The cop didn't like that a law abiding citizen was telling him to back off of violating his rights. Too many cops see themselves as some sort of lord in the streets and they often take exception to anyone who challenges their "lordship."

[@zebnemma]

Yes if you are a person capable of empathy and compassion if you see an individual sitting at a park bench in the dark with lit candles you might first suspect that the individual is not mentally well, in this case it was grieving, but other cases might be that the person is depressed or something like that... But yes why couldn't he just treat the dude like a normal human being is the real question here. The officer here should have been concerned about the individuals mental health, not about whether he has committed a "crime" by lighting candles wtf? That is just the biggest BS accusation first of all. He just wants to get that guy in trouble for no reason because he's a bully. A cops job is not only to arrest people for crimes, sometimes their job is also about looking out for their fellow human beings if they see a person who might be suicidal for example, to step in and help in those scenarios. If they patrol an area it should be because they are there to make that area safer, not to be "looking for bad guys". A cops job is to serve the community, and make the community safer and better. This cop clearly is not capable of understanding the big picture of his job, as he is probably only a cop to be a bully.

those things only happen in staged copaganda videos when they try to fool simple minded folk into believing they are good guys. which is funny. if the type of videos US police departments put out, often through the news, came from "north korea", you all would lose your mind and wouldn't be able to stop yourself from talking shit.

@@youngreap1564yeah she should have, but unfortunately the nationwide trend with cops seems to be that when officers question their supervisors, or other more experienced cop, or even other cops period, they are considered to be rats, traitors, and they’re shunned/verbally abused/maligned and even in extreme circumstances, physically assaulted. This trend or whatever you want to call it needs to be reversed immediately.

this is so sad, the way he approached him and the way he was so disgusting and rude im heartbroken for this man and his loss. ❤

When I was 9, my mom, her best friend with her baby in a stroller, my 15-year-old sister, and her 15-year-old friend were walking home one day (this was in 1982). As we walked by the park across from our house there were police officers pretty much beating up and arresting 4 black teens because they were in the park after it closed. We all stopped, and my mom said, "Dear lord what are they doing to those kids?" One of the officers told my mom, "Mind your own business (insert a derogatory name for Hispanics) before I arrest you too!" As we walked away my mom told her friend she was going to call the station when we got home. Next thing I knew my mom was in a headlock and the officer punched her in the face. When the rest of us cried out, they started manhandling my mom's friend, my sister, and her friend and arrested them for obstruction, and disorderly conduct. It was 9 pm, and those bastards put them all in the cop cars and drove off, leaving me (again I was 9) alone with a 4-month-old baby in a stroller. I was terrified, but thankfully I just had to get across the street to get to my house. My dad flipped when I told him what happened, and he immediately called his brother, who was a judge at the time. My uncle got in touch with a really good lawyer, and my mom and everyone else were out of jail by morning with all charges dropped. My mom and her friend didn't just let it go. Mom testified for the 4 teenagers that the cops were originally assaulting. The teen's charges were dropped after the 3rd day of testimony, and the lawyer my uncle referred filed a lawsuit for all the victims. The officers were firedi mostly because they left a 9-year-old and a newborn alone at night, instead of finding a family member to collect us. I won't disclose how much my mom got in the settlement, but I will say it was enough to buy a house in a nicer area and pay for my 2 older siblings and me to get our bachelor's degrees, allowing us to graduate without debt. Sadly, there was another horrific incident at the same precinct that caused the torturous death of a young Hispanic man. This caused 1 police plaza to finally do something about the corruption in said precinct. I always said to myself growing up that things would change as officers got better training, and times were changing. Well, I am 52 now and it hurts my heart that a lot (but not all) police officers still resort to violence, especially when dealing with people of color. Oh, and 43 years later these 4 teens still send my mom birthday and Christmas cards every year.

Smh... I get sooo angry reading this kind of stories. You can only behave like that to another human being if you don't even value them as fellow human beings...

[@lindaharrell3916]

My first impression when I saw this, was that this White cop saw a young Black man sitting alone, basically in the dark (a dimly lit area), and decided to harass this young man and escalate the encounter into his premeditated act of violence…even killing him…and then make up any story he wanted to because there would be no witnesses. Walking over there, for clearly no reason, from half a block away, shining that blinding light directly into the face, and then immediately confrontational, and verbally aggressive. All red flags to me as to his true intentions.

[@EldritchLevianthan]

More mild story, but one of my roommates wasn't available for a few hours. She skipped work that day, and the employer called the police, claiming possible missing person. Officer comes knocking on our door asking about our roommate. I answered pretty candidly, told them she was gonna be at the casino for awhile. Check back in a few hours. They asked to search the house, I declined respectfully (well within our right, police have a bad habit of destroying houses when conducting searches). Great, they leave and we move on with our nights. We get another knock not even an hour later, asking about our roommate again. Pointed out that it hasn't even been an hour and she won't be home for awhile, and to check back in a few hours (Same thing we said not even an hour earlier) One of the officers seemed to be getting agitated and kept pressing the subject about searching the house. That's when we asked if they had a warrant. One of the officers wasn't happy, started questioning me and my other roommate. Started saying stupid shit like "Well if she's dead in there (while waving his fat sausage finger), then the blame would pass on to you, and then off to YOU". I laughed in the fuckers faces, since they were obviously trying to intimidate us and out of line legally. Pointed out that "exercising our 4th amendment rights doesn't warrant probable cause, nor does it incriminate us". After some mild bickering, officer straight up says "just let me inside". That's when my third roommate chimed in and said "no, just leave us alone" That's when they proceed to shine a massive headlight into our house for the next hour. We call up our roommate to come home early, and she did. After coming back from the casino, they figured trying to further intimidate us was pointless. They left not long after. Cherry on top, they described me as a "belligerent asian". So pathetic it's actually funny. Our roommate that skipped work doesn't need a babysitter, plus we already told them to check back later. She's only been unaccounted for less then 3 hours. It’s not our problem to deal with, don't harass and intimidate random people because you're impatient.

Ever make you wonder how law enforcement got the notion they could demand people justify their own existence?

[@jeffstewart7439]

Unfortunately, it is because of fear from the majority of people. Many are afraid and ignorantly believe they have to just do what a peace officers says because "IT'S THE LAW!" Due to the fact most are not educated on legal matters, they just go along with the flow of others. And as a result of this, peace officers feel that it can be justified because so many have simply complied for so long. This forms the "ILLUSION OF TRUTH!" I was once informed by an attorney I had on retainer that, "police DO NOT know the law! They ARE NOT LAWYERS!" This is why most of these cases get dismissed or overturned. Officers, in most cases, have very limited knowledge of the actual law. Thus it is wise on the part of the citizen to know their own rights, and not simply trust that the police have your best interest at heart. They are seeking to gain as many arrest and write as many tickets as they can, that is how they get paid!

“If you want to talk to me like I’m dumb…” is very telling of the fragility of that police officer. He went into that situation with a chip on his shoulder and it didn’t take a whole lot to make him feel threatened that it was about to be flicked off. He was looking for an excuse to puff out his chest. People like that have no business being police officers.

[@trevertravis8963]

He was in defensive mode as soon as he stepped out of the car.

[@BridgetKF]

You notice how the officer's hand keeps dropping? That's a "Reaching for a gun" movement. It was VERY obvious the reason he kept saying "You want to go there??" And constantly trying to escalate, rather than de-escalate, was that he was looking for an EXCUSE to shoot. He called the second officer to use as his excuse as well. "If this other officer backs me up I can kill this person without getting in trouble." It is not inconceivable that, once back at the precinct, this guy got in the face of the fellow officer to scream at her for not "Backing him up"
