Cop points gun at black man's head...and gets convicted for assault

[CarbonBraddock]

Even when the officer pulled out his gun, the other guy kept his pride. I respect that.

what do you mean

 

[feelosofer]

Well this is a good start and should set a precedent for cops nationally.

what do you mean

He didn't cry like a bytch when the gun was on his head.

Kinda like how Anthony didn't care about Cutty putting a gun in his face

Pride? Homeboy is lucky to be alive. I guess if pride is the only thing you have then its worth dying over.

 

[The BasedFather]

Hope he gets all 45.

 

[pickles]

Why isn't this getting more attention?

That shyt is wild as fukk.

Ol'boy got only 5 years?? Imagine all the dirt he was doing if there was no video?

 

[skokiaan]

pig thought he was white until he got that chico amigo wake up call, wonder what the outcome would be if his name was smith and not santiago.

when a c00n gets their just dues

BOY this look like a scene straight out of training day.

The fact that this cop feel he can just pull out a gun point it at your head without being in any sort of danger is amazing to me.

This is why every police officer should be required to wear a body camera. I said this after the Laquan McDonald (RIP) situation. Every time an officer steps out of the squad car, there actions need to be recorded.

There is enough technology available to make a vest with a small camera on it that activates with a quick push of a button.

Thanks to the McDondald situation, police officers have lost the right to privacy when they're on duty.

It's been proposed but there's a number of problems with the idea which include the officer's discretion of when and if they choose to push the record button in addition to the storage of the video feed. What if they (the officers) just don't hit the record button? Then what?

Most police encounters don't end up in misconduct or abuse, so storing footage of thousands of thousands of police officers every hour of their shift and every day on the job would nearly be impossible.

I can't see the NYPD being able to do that with 35,000 cops.

That's not a problem that inhibits the use of body cameras.
You just turn it on. It would be mandatory.



And if you don't, there should be severe penalties.

Sure it does. Tactically, what if there's a physical encounter, and the cop doesn't have time to "hit the button" while in a scuffle. And what penalties would their be Jail time? What's the crime? Docking vacation days?

And when will they be required to record the encounters? In every interaction with a civilian?

And how do you manage storage for 35,000 cops in the NYPD of daily encounters? What's the cost of that? 35,000 cops x 365 (they obviously don't work every day...but they have unpredictable work schedules) days in a year + 20 years for the average cop until retirement.

I'm just not sure about how the details work in all of this.

YOU HAVE THE THING RECORDING ALL THE TIME.

And 35,000 cops aren't on the streets all the time, so it wouldn't apply to that many.

 

[filial_piety]

YOU HAVE THE THING RECORDING ALL THE TIME.

So, just using the NYPD as an example, you have 35,000 cops record 8.5 hours a day?

This is a lame excuse. There is plenty of affordable technology out there that would make this possible. And it doesn't have to be tied to the officers discretion. They should be on at all times the officer is on the clock.
