Black man assaulted by police while sleeping in his car

[Turk]

San Marcos, TX — A disturbing video uploaded to YouTube this week, shows a man being tasered, assaulted, and pulled from a car. Elliot Blake, aka RichBoy Boom, claims he was simply sleeping in the back of a friend’s car when police began to harass him. He was tired from a day of passing out flyers for an event.

According to Blake,

After driving from Dallas to Austin, then promoting around the Texasx State Campus for hours, I took a nap in my friends car. I was awakened by 3 officers. I complied showed them the flyers with the address of the very venue I was at and everything, when the female officer planted weed in the vehicle and at that point I started to recorded bc if they will do that they will do anything.

The video starts as officers J.Cope and B. Ellington, of the San Marcos PD, were attempting to remove Blake from the vehicle.

Blake tries to tell the officers that he hasn’t done anything wrong and that the marijuana was planted on him. But the cops were set on getting him out.

The situation quickly escalated into a violent one as police forcefully kidnapped a man for the alleged “crimes” of sleeping in a car and having a bag with pieces of a plant in it.

From the information we’ve obtained, there were no victims in this “crime;” except, of course, the man who was electrocuted and kidnapped.

During the assault on Blake, his root canal was knocked out of his mouth. He also suffered several other abrasions.

Witnesses from a nearby apartment filmed the incident as well. Both Videos are below.

The Free Thought Project contacted the San Marcos Police Department, but they were unable to provide the details of the arrest.

I disagree with the brother about "dressing right"

You can't be black sleeping in the backseat of a vehicle... you look suspicious..

lets speak on other things you can't do while being black....

breathing while in a vehicle you own....
sneezing while in a vehicle you own....
scratching a body part while in a vehicle you own....
starting the ignition while in a vehicle you own......
placing the vehicle you own in gear...
leaving your vehicle to walk home....
bending over to pick up your house keys when you drop them....
coughing....

^all suspicious

Well, that's yet another thing you can't do while black...sleep in your car.

Noam Chomsky and his old self said it best, with all of this police violence against unarmed black people, they are really getting the point across that it's becoming illegal to be black in America.

It's almost as if they want us to stay inside and do nothing with our lives. And just wither away.

Black people have been killed for holding sandwiches, holding bb guns in stores where they real guns, for calling the police to do their job, to get roadside assistance at someone's house when their car broke down...

Shyt, when I first came back to New York in January I was sleeping in my car for a bit...I dealt with cops, I honestly thought they was gonna grill me, but they let me stay there for the time being cause they saw that I was saving up money with a job to get a place...

This breh can't even sleep in his car after a long day of passing out flyers?

fukking disgusting, you can hear the frustration in his voice when he's explaining why he's recording and then the screaming and pain in his voice when he's getting yanked out is just sad and depressing.

There was no need to pull the taser on him like that. Non compliance is not the same as a threat. If 3-4 cops cant remove a man who is showing no signs of being a physical threat from a car without resorting to violence, then they're criminals.

"Shoulda found you a bed boy...now I'ma REALLY put you to sleep boy!"


Keep watching, the cops' time is coming...you just wait. Can't do much now, but trust me, they gonna mess with that one wrong person and he/she will be the impetus to sweeping changes in our police force...

Wish it didn't have to come to that.

You can't hold court in the streets but hopefully he gets paid for gettin demoralized like this. Yikes

It's basic cause and effect.

Doesn't matter if it's cartel violence, medieval tyrant kings or police brutality.

When people feel like their back is against the wall they will fight back

Last Saturday, Walter Scott was driving his Mercedes in North Charleston, S.C., when he was pulled over by police officer Michael Slager for driving with a broken taillight. Scott had a complicated life, as many of us do. He was employed and engaged; he owed back child support; in all likelihood he really didn’t want to go to jail. When Slager approached, Scott ran.

There is video of what happened next. Our first clear view is of Scott twisting his doughy body away and moving—half-sprinting, half-waddling—from Slager through an abandoned, grassy lot. Initially, the scene is almost comical. Scott's legs have 50 years' worth of wear on them, and appear to have but 50 yards' worth of running in them. For a brief moment, the video takes on a familiar quality, like something from an episode of Cops. Instead of pursuing, though, Slager, 33, draws his handgun and fires seven times. After a pregnant pause, Slager shoots once more. Around 30—less? more?—feet into his desperate dash, Scott falls to his knees, and then onto his belly, and sprawls facedown beneath a tree.

Only then does Slager move again, walking toward Scott.

“Put your hands behind your back now!” he orders. Scott doesn’t comply. When the officer gets to the body, he handcuffs Scott’s arms behind his back, then stands up, like he’s forgotten something. He first walks, then jogs back to the spot from where he shot, and picks an object off the ground. As a second officer approaches Scott, speaking into his walkie-talkie for a medical kit, Slager ambles back over, then drops the object on the ground next to the dead man.

"This just doesn't sound right," Scott's surviving brother, Anthony, would later say. "How do you lose your life at a traffic stop?"

On Tuesday, Slager was charged with murder after a cell-phone video of Scott's death was released. Thanks to technology and chance, we now know a lot about Scott's final seconds. He was executed. It's right here:

For as long as there have been white people and black people and brown people in America, white people have slaughtered black people and brown people. Over the years, the techniques have changed slightly, even as they've bled into each other. Slavery was slaughter, just as hanging and dragging and beating and hacking are slaughter, just as electrocuting and poisoning and shooting are slaughter. But whatever the method, whites have slaughtered minorities, and there is no reason to think they won't continue to do so.

The killings of minorities by police are instructive in this regard, not because all policemen are violent racists or murderers (the vast majority are neither) or because they are personally responsible for killing large numbers of black and brown people (they aren't), but because they are agents of the state, and so their actions, and the consequences they face, serve as a sort of index of the public will.

We know things about this sort of killing. Last year, ProPublica published a study concluding that black teenage boys are 21 times more likely to be killed by police than their white peers. (The findings have since been debated, but all agree that the disparity is enormous.) Mapping Police Violence reports that in March, 36 black people—one every 21 hours—were killed by cops. In big towns and small towns and cities across the nation, minorities are being killed by the very men and women sworn to protect and to serve them.

Police have the latitude to kill citizens, and are only rarely convicted of any wrongdoing for doing so. In South Carolina alone, where Slager killed Scott, officers have shot at citizens on at least 210 occasions over the last five years without a single one being convicted of breaking a law. It's a victory in itself that Slager was charged with murder, but he was charged only after video was uncovered of the officer shooting a black man in the back.

And that's important, too: the video. Thanks to technological advances, there's an entire grisly genre of police officers shooting and often killing unarmed people of color—usually men—that's just as available and accessible as porn and puppy videos. We bear witness to cops blowing away people who look like us.
