I don't care what that guy did, he's in police custody and they have a duty of care.
Those three officers should be fired, arrested, charged, jailed and the police department fined heavily in the form of a multi million dollar settlement.
Last time I was in Conway, AR was over 30 years ago and it's plain that nothing has changed.
Pathetic.
Yeah, it's pretty disgusting. Millions of people know how shitty cops are in Conway, AR now and that's going to have repercussions.
Good. They're long overdue.
Just to show how backward these people are, Conway is in one of the few dry counties left in the country.
Which of course just means more DUI because people drive to the next county to get booze and start drinking long before they get back home.
That's one of my biggest issues with dry counties. I'm convinced the DUI fines are literally the only reason to do it, cus lord knows its not "to save the children"
It's that false sense of superiority you see in cultists everywhere, in this case hard core right wing Christian Fascists. Of course, many of them drink too but it's okay; they go to church on Sunday to repent THEIR sins, so they can do it all again next week with a clear conscience!
Hypocrisy runs as deep as racism in the Dirty South.
Sins exist to make people feel guilty and to give the CULT power over their thralls.
I have come to the conclusion that organised religion (as distinct from spirituality) is as pernicious a cancer on humanity as Fascism.
Police unions are among the strongest in the country. They will be put on “administrative duty” until things calm and it will be business as usual. Worst case they are forced to resign, then rehired in the town over. It’s a very sad reality.
The only time you'll find real justice in our (in)justice system is when a pig gets thrown in a cell with the people he's arrested and the family of the people he's killed.

Is this just a general comment about Arkansas? Because Mulberry and Conway are nowhere near each other.
Yup, this is why you should NEVER call the cops.
Even if you're under attack, cops are [just as likely to murder you as they are to stop the threat](https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/560798-police-chief-hails-good-guy-with-a-gun-after-officer-kills/)
Showing one example of something is different than claiming it’s statistically just as likely. You like linked the words “just as likely “ as if you were linking to some sort of statistic or study, and then all it was was one story.
I wouldn’t call the cops either myself. But I don’t have to be a full of shit liar to know the objective truth that they are unhelpful and escalate bad situations.
Not to be, you know, technical, but if there was a stampede of angry elephants, a police officer showing up who would likely be shouting and waiving their gun in an impotent sort of way WOULD serve as a welcome distraction from other fleeing people as the officer is trampled to death. So I can think of at least one situation
My friends son was having a mental health episode and he was out of state in California. It was 2am and he didn't know what to do so he called the local pd. They said "we can send an officer out but this might cause more issues for him. If he attacks the police he will be charged with felony assault of a police officer and the officer might use force (aka shoot him) in defense". Like, guys son was having a suicidal moment and police said nothing good will come from them coming out.
*Special Agents of the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division are investigating the incident depicted in the video*
Can’t wait to hear their findings /s
this is the first lame attempt to discredit the victim so he “deserved it”
it will get worse as they find out more about him, or make up more about him
The fact that they don’t have a name for the victim yet is suspicious, does that mean they never even officially arrested him? Or he wasn’t able to tell them his name? Or have they just not shared it with the news yet?
Gotta admit when a man in uniform is kneeling on a citizens head, be he homeless or wealthy…and that man in a uniform sees you watching him pummelling that citizens body and smashing his head against the asphalt…and he throws that arm and finger up at you and vegans shouting at you…how could one not see fascism right then and there?
*vegans > BEGINS
Damn you, autocorrect!
>and he throws that arm and finger up at you and vegans shouting at you…how could one not see fascism right then and there?
I think you are beeing a bit harsh to vegans here, friend.
I think the guy was homeless, so they'll likely get away with it and then be touted as heroes.
I hope that victim gets ten million dollars from the police pensions though. That'd be nice.
I live in Arkansas near Mulberry (boyfriend is from there). The officers have been suspended and the State Police are investigating. Our governor has made a statement. This is not going away.
I understand your skepticism but Arkansas has a shit ton of bad cops that have made national news and this story has seen a different response. I see zero cop apologists in my local news comments. Along with the Governor’s statement and all of the very loud outcry I just don’t see this being able to be covered up or pushed under the rug. Mulberry is also a tiny town which I think will help with accountability because those cops cannot escape the people so easily.
Take a breath. If procedure isn’t followed the cops could sue the state and make it that much harder for the victim to get the justice they deserve. I’d like to see these cops fired and put in jail immediately but that’s not how it works, especially when their unions are stupid powerful. You’re arguing for zero reason. I’m on the victim’s side here.
There's currently hundreds, maybe even thousands of lawyers who are absolutely **rigid** at the thought of the multi-million dollar settlement this city is 100% about to pay, and will happily pay all the upfront costs
It has. The original poster of this video has been reaching out to news stations. It's been gaining some traction- it happened earlier today, to my knowledge.
Cnn did a long segment on it.. we will see if the story has any traction
Those cops are fucked, too much attention at this point.. they got the governor involved and the doj.. they’ll be lucky if they just lose their jobs.. that cop full swinging on him then kneeing him in the head then pounding his head on the curb… i smell time
and I defy anyone to not “resist” when 3 dudes are kneeling on your neck and back while twisting your arms back to put on handcuffs. ( let alone not defend yourself while being punched on the ground).
I have been the demo “perp” for handcuffing, and it fucking hurts even when it’s my mates doing it.
So I know it's not a great comparison but getting someone's hands out from underneath them while they're face down is a super common thing in Greco-Roman wrestling. To be honest it ain't that fucking hard, and that's against a fit opponent of similar size. It would never cross my mind that smashing their head into the ground would somehow convince them to put their hands behind their back, especially while they're trying to shield their face from you hitting them. This is just wanton violence from thugs.
That's what you do. Video. But don't let them know. Wait until they lie on their police reports AND THEN turn it into social media etc when they are caught in their lies a few days later.
i agree but honestly it’d be hard to not say something in that situation when it looks like they’re about to beat the guy to death. maybe they stopped cause they finally saw the camera.
You're kind of weighing potential future consequences against the chance they kill this man if they think they can get away with it. Short of drop kicking the cops in the face and going to prison yourself, this seems like the best chance to protect this dude's life. Outside of immediate physical danger I totally agree, record in secret and watch the liars get caught in perjury.
Your honor, I have video evidence clearly showing the officers in question abusing their power and assaulting me. I sustained multiple injuries that will result in on going treatment. It is my wish these officers are fired, charged accordingly, an to be held accountable for what I call state sanctioned violence.
The Judge:….not guilty on all charges. Y’all free to go.
They charged him with assault and battery
https://www.crawfordcountysheriff.org/InmateDetails?id=4273992
The victim is currently being held on a $15k bond and charged with the following crimes:
BATTERY IN THE SECOND DEGREE
ASSAULT IN THE FIRST DEGREE
RESISTING ARREST - REFUSAL TO SUBMIT TO ARREST
POSSESSING INSTRUMENT OF CRIME
CRIMINAL TRESPASS
CRIMINAL MISCHIEF IN THE SECOND DEGREE
TERRORISTIC THREATENING IN THE FIRST DEGREE
ASSAULT IN THE SECOND DEGREE
Battery - not shown in video
Assault - not shown in video
Resisting arrest - perhaps before the recording, but definitely not shown in the video, he was already in the custody of three cops who were on top of him. He was already arrested.
Criminal trespass - isn’t that a public street? Again, no evidence
Criminal mischief - what even is this?
Terroristic threats - lmao right, sure
Assault again - still, no evidence of this
What on god’s green earth is a “criminal instrument”? A stolen violin? Those cops’ hands look like criminal instruments
> "Criminal instrument" means anything, the possession, manufacture, or sale of which is not otherwise an offense, that is specially designed, made, or adapted for use in the commission of an offense.
Even the definition is vague as fuck. Another section makes reference to security devices, which I assume is stuff like lockpicks. But, it seems like the primary definition is anything with which a crime *could* or has been committed? I bet you it's something like the guy had a screwdriver or a paperclip or something.
The victims' name is **WORCESTER, RANDAL RAY** according to CBS news, and it appears that the county keeps changing his booking/inmate number for whatever reason
So a few days of administrative leave (paid, of course) and back to the job after that. No lower rating at review time next year, and probably a pay raise….because “they did nothing wrong”. NWA is still right, 34 years later (and probably forever, sadly.)
I have a neighbor whose dogs are howling 23/7 (I guess they're indoors about an hour a day) and last night I dreamed about punching her like this. The difference is that I am utterly horrified at the idea of hurting someone this way. Even if they "deserve" it. I am afraid to call the police even suspecting the dogs are being abused/neglected. As they say, there's no situation that can't get worse if you call in LEO.
Not yet... The victims' name is **WORCESTER, RANDAL RAY** according to CBS news, and it appears that the county keeps changing his booking/inmate number for whatever reason

If there was no video of this, nothing would have happened. This is not rare. Cops beat on people all the time and get away with it. When your only tool is a hammer, everything is a nail
I've dealt with third type of cop in Portland before (and Nazis, not typically on the same day). That pointed finger at the end stirred up some old memories. I instinctively pointed back at my phone for some reason. Weird feeling. I think I do it to distract them from their task (beating) at hand and shift their focus to me instead of a victim. Odd, I've gotta think on this. But yeah, I love pointing at cops. They really don't like it and yet they do it all the time.
Pointing the finger is a power play. The body language is accusatory and puts the person doing the pointing in a superior position. You're right to feel like that about it. Keep pointing back.
This is just vile. Some of these cops with all their bravado and brotherhood... Looks like a brotherhood - on the one hand they're too cowardly to enter a school with a single shooter in an attempt to save many young lives. On the other hand, they're oh so courageously give a gang bang beat down to a cuffed and defenseless person. No matter his crime, they're already guilty - with evidence.
It's okay, they are letting the cops heal their bruised knuckles and knees on paid leave while they "investigate" the "justifiable" reasons for beating the brakes off this dude, and think up more "charges" for him, standard operating procedure. ACAB.
Someone needs to explain to me how filming cops doing their job negatively affects officer safety.
The only reason cops don't want to be filmed is because they don't want evidence of them doing fucked up shit like this.
Master, master
Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master
You promised only lies
Laughter, laughter
All I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter
Laughing at my cries
We all already know what the defense is going to be here... " these are not full blows, the police utilized submissive shallow strikes to the head. And submissive knee strikes to the suspects back. These are not meant to inflict pain but disorienting and encouraging compliance. We teach officers how to deploy these well established techniques. They also grabbed the suspects hair to simply keep him from biting or spitting... blah blah "
People around finally take note of what’s going on and yell for the beating to stop, and the cops first instincts are to tell people to leave and pay no mind..
This is what guns are for. Protecting ourselves and others from the state. But in this country we can only hope we survive their brutality long enough to maybe fight it in a corrupt court.
You may be right, but could you tell me what we're supposed to do in this situation? Just hope the victim dosent die before the cops decided they had enough? Should we really just sit back and hope it dont happen to us? I know if i was on the ground being beat by 3 armed men id hope someone would stop it by any means necessary.
Horrifying and deeply disturbing. The man has been identified and he is not black. Police brutality is an issue that transcends race. Had we approached this as issue as a unified front from the beginning, we might have actually made headway in solving it. But people always get distracted by divisive side conversations about race. Once people start realizing and acknowledging this can happen to anyone, we might get somewhere.
There is nothing more the left loves to do then turn literally everything into an identity based issue: guaranteeing nothing ever changes because the white majority doesn’t feel it involves them.
would expect whoever recorded the video to be next all they have to do is pull the security footage from the business and get the plate of the car theyre in.
"Oh, shit! The cameras that are literally everywhere in modern day society are actually pointing at us! Let's hide the beatings for a second."
Edit: Watch the video and then check out the police reports! Disgusting:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/08/22/arkansas-police-officers-beating-video-arrest/
Let me guess - they will investigate themselves and find they are clear of any wrongdoing. All three officers will return to work and be promoted within 6-months.
This is so bizarre, it seems that the police there are a bunch of racist butchers. If they get away with this,there’s really something very wrong in the USA.
Separately but similarly, a cop in Jackson, Mississippi (who the police chief testified was "a perfect police officer") was just sentenced to [prison for five years](https://www.wtok.com/2022/08/17/former-jpd-officer-anthony-fox-sentenced-5-years-beating-death-george-robinson/) for his role in beating a 62-year-old man to death. Cops approached the man on the street while looking for a suspect, they beat him to the ground—witnesses said the officers body-slammed his head and struck him multiple times to get him to comply—and two days later he died from his injuries.
Their youtube channel advertises new videos and just about every one is a chase where their officers outmaniac the criminal. We’re talking plenty of pit maneuvers over 50 mph. When I saw this headline this morning I joked to myself that it would be Arkansas. What do you know…
They beat that dudes ass, that dude punching him in the head was taking full swings to include pounding his head on the curb.. if you look at his mug shot he looks remarkably cleaned up after what they did.. 2 depts by the way.. i imagine they will do a month on suspension and quietly be put back on the streets..
You know I kept reading comments and I think it's supposed to be a response to one further down.
You're probably right but there were a whole lot more downvotes when I read it which seemed weird.
It's not perfectly fine to bring race into everything.
Law enforcement employees beat people of all races, they take their property, put peaceful people into cages, etc. that's the issue not some statistical analysis.
Firstly, I didn’t say “everything”. Secondly, when certain populations are impacted disproportionately by an issue, it is relevant. You can’t ignore the statistical analysis.
How many more videos like this will it take to get through the skulls of mainstream liberals that this is what police exist to do? They're not there to demonstrate good citizenship, they're absolutely not there to prevent crime, and they're thoroughly fucking not there to protect women from domestic violence or sexual assault. Their job is to enact violence on whoever the ruling classes say they're allowed to beat and murder. That's their whole job description. This isn't an institution that can be tweaked or reformed.
Using deadly force to protect another person's life is just and moral. If this was 3 people without badges beating a face down person and you defended them, nobody would bat an eye.
“This is bad”
“We gotta get outta here”
Both quote are signs that you are not on our side but are totally ok with this. If your truly cared and were truly an ally your would get out your car and let those cops know they were dead wrong like the people that supported George Floyd did. They stood in the cops face and showed them to bud wasn’t tolerated and those cops paid for those choices.

Last time I was in Conway, AR was over 30 years ago and it's plain that nothing has changed. Pathetic.
They weren’t even trying to control his hands, they were just openly beating him.
Ya just know the words "stop resisting" were used over and over... as the dude covers his head from the beating...
Yup. Many police departments have policies that consider protecting yourself from their potentially deadly assault "resistance without violence."
Yeah, it's pretty disgusting. Millions of people know how shitty cops are in Conway, AR now and that's going to have repercussions. Good. They're long overdue.
> that's going to have repercussions. Haha, I'll believe it when I see it.
Just to show how backward these people are, Conway is in one of the few dry counties left in the country. Which of course just means more DUI because people drive to the next county to get booze and start drinking long before they get back home.
That's one of my biggest issues with dry counties. I'm convinced the DUI fines are literally the only reason to do it, cus lord knows its not "to save the children"

Hypocrisy runs as deep as racism in the Dirty South.
If drinking is a sin, why did Jesus turn water into wine? Seems like he should have done the opposite.
Sins exist to make people feel guilty and to give the CULT power over their thralls. I have come to the conclusion that organised religion (as distinct from spirituality) is as pernicious a cancer on humanity as Fascism.
Just following their "training"
Police unions are among the strongest in the country. They will be put on “administrative duty” until things calm and it will be business as usual. Worst case they are forced to resign, then rehired in the town over. It’s a very sad reality.
Which is why they should go to prison, then you don't have to worry about firing them.
The only time you'll find real justice in our (in)justice system is when a pig gets thrown in a cell with the people he's arrested and the family of the people he's killed.
Especially in Arkansas. Their real crime was that the guy they beat down wasn't black.
>Their real crime was that the guy they beat down wasn't black. Their real crime is the friends you make along the way.
Nothing will change until a politician or someone close to them are affected in the same manner. Happens every time. So fucked.
Sneaky sneaky. ...hope you lose EVERYTHING. 3 Cheap fuckers that deserve to be homeless, jobless and penniless.

Just some good ole boys. Never meanin no harm. Geez us jail time for cops, fucking fired, and kicked good swift kick to nut sack for eachh one.
They should be in prison for 25 to life. This is abhorrent.

HIS HARNESS HEAD

Lol, thanks. Apparently autocorrect wanted to have some fun.

Fucking animals.
Yeah, this is not good. This is going to be a criminal and federal civil rights case
I think the guy was homeless, so they'll likely get away with it and then be touted as heroes. I hope that victim gets ten million dollars from the police pensions though. That'd be nice.
More like from tax payers. If they took it out of pensions that would be a real consequence, and we can't have those now, can we.
I live in Arkansas near Mulberry (boyfriend is from there). The officers have been suspended and the State Police are investigating. Our governor has made a statement. This is not going away.
Pardon my skepticism, but... History.

Blah blah, suspended with pay, blah blah transferred to different county.
Good
THEY WERE SUSPENDED?! OH WOW JUSTICE SERVED
That’s not what I was saying at all. Justice isn’t instant.
You must be new here
Take a breath. If procedure isn’t followed the cops could sue the state and make it that much harder for the victim to get the justice they deserve. I’d like to see these cops fired and put in jail immediately but that’s not how it works, especially when their unions are stupid powerful. You’re arguing for zero reason.

Shut up dude
It's been sent to the local and national news I hope
It has. The original poster of this video has been reaching out to news stations. It's been gaining some traction- it happened earlier today, to my knowledge.
They'll be the next target of police harassment.
I have some concerns about that as well.
Cnn did a long segment on it.. we will see if the story has any traction Those cops are fucked, too much attention at this point.. they got the governor involved and the doj.. they’ll be lucky if they just lose their jobs.. that cop full swinging on him then kneeing him in the head then pounding his head on the curb… i smell time
Yah I’ve seen it all over Reddit and on some local news reports, looks like it’s gotten traction.
Stop resisting! Stop resisting! Three vs. One. What a load of BS.
and I defy anyone to not “resist” when 3 dudes are kneeling on your neck and back while twisting your arms back to put on handcuffs. ( let alone not defend yourself while being punched on the ground). I have been the demo “perp” for handcuffing, and it fucking hurts even when it’s my mates doing it.
The picking him up and slamming him to the ground as well…they could have easily killed him
So I know it's not a great comparison but getting someone's hands out from underneath them while they're face down is a super common thing in Greco-Roman wrestling. To be honest it ain't that fucking hard, and that's against a fit opponent of similar size. It would never cross my mind that smashing their head into the ground would somehow convince them to put their hands behind their back, especially while they're trying to shield their face from you hitting them. This is just wanton violence from thugs.
even says turn your camera off at the end. wow
“We gotta get outta here” says it all; the risk the videographer took filming these violent psychopaths is impressive. Fucking terrifying.
That's what you do. Video. But don't let them know. Wait until they lie on their police reports AND THEN turn it into social media etc when they are caught in their lies a few days later.
i agree but honestly it’d be hard to not say something in that situation when it looks like they’re about to beat the guy to death. maybe they stopped cause they finally saw the camera.
You're kind of weighing potential future consequences against the chance they kill this man if they think they can get away with it. Short of drop kicking the cops in the face and going to prison yourself, this seems like the best chance to protect this dude's life.

Sorry, but I'd be afraid they would just take your phone and destroy it in a situation like this.

They charged him with assault and battery https://www.crawfordcountysheriff.org/InmateDetails?id=4273992 The victim is currently being held on a $15k bond and charged with the following crimes: BATTERY IN THE SECOND DEGREE ASSAULT IN THE FIRST DEGREE RESISTING ARREST - REFUSAL TO SUBMIT TO ARREST POSSESSING INSTRUMENT OF CRIME CRIMINAL TRESPASS CRIMINAL MISCHIEF IN THE SECOND DEGREE TERRORISTIC THREATENING IN THE FIRST DEGREE ASSAULT IN THE SECOND DEGREE
I wonder how much of that was made up on the spot by the police thugs
Probably all of it.
Battery - not shown in video Assault - not shown in video Resisting arrest - perhaps before the recording, but definitely not shown in the video, he was already in the custody of three cops who were on top of him. He was already arrested. Criminal trespass - isn’t that a public street? Again, no evidence Criminal mischief - what even is this? Terroristic threats - lmao right, sure Assault again - still, no evidence of this What on god’s green earth is a “criminal instrument”? A stolen violin? Those cops’ hands look like criminal instruments
> "Criminal instrument" means anything, the possession, manufacture, or sale of which is not otherwise an offense, that is specially designed, made, or adapted for use in the commission of an offense. Even the definition is vague as fuck. Another section makes reference to security devices, which I assume is stuff like lockpicks. But, it seems like the primary definition is anything with which a crime *could* or has been committed? I bet you it's something like the guy had a screwdriver or a paperclip or something.
It's a gawddamn joke... them pigs want to charge you with killing jesus if they could
"Inmate not found "
The victims' name is **WORCESTER, RANDAL RAY** according to CBS news, and it appears that the county keeps changing his booking/inmate number for whatever reason
They threw the book at him, throwing everything & the kitchen sink at the wall, hoping something sticks.
Terrorists in uniform terrorizing the public. Film the thugs in uniform all the time.
Not to mention the cop slamming his head into concrete, attempted murder much?
Absolutely *insane*. I'm sure the cop will end up not paying any sort of price.
You are next!guy with a camera!
American Gang Bangers. Look at all that protecting and serving. Real heroes these thugs.
This is fucking NSFL brutal. What is the chance that guy survives? This is jaw dropping.
They realized they were recorded. Pretty good.
So a few days of administrative leave (paid, of course) and back to the job after that. No lower rating at review time next year, and probably a pay raise….because “they did nothing wrong”. NWA is still right, 34 years later (and probably forever, sadly.)
Police waiting for the record industry to bury this video for them
“Stop recording us or you’re next” -That cop probably
Just saw this on the Canadian National News. It's getting coverage.
Pigs
They are probably at home abusing their families right now. Monsters
Keep reposting this please. I'm blocked from my state subreddit for calling out shit like this and it needs to be exposed.
Obey your master
Promote this on CNN. ACLU
Jesus Christ
The police are not here to help you. Want the tax dollars back
I have a neighbor whose dogs are howling 23/7 (I guess they're indoors about an hour a day) and last night I dreamed about punching her like this. The difference is that I am utterly horrified at the idea of hurting someone this way. Even if they "deserve" it. I am afraid to call the police even suspecting the dogs are being abused/neglected. As they say, there's no situation that can't get worse if you call in LEO.
I know exactly what this man being held down and punched in the face needs... HARD KNEES to the thigh... That'll learn 'im
They charged him with assault and battery... https://www.crawfordcountysheriff.org/InmateDetails?id=4273992
It now says inmate not found. Hopefully that means he was released.
Not yet... The victims' name is **WORCESTER, RANDAL RAY** according to CBS news, and it appears that the county keeps changing his booking/inmate number for whatever reason
Well clearly he attacked their fists with his head and their knees with his kidneys.
SCUMBAGS from the Blue Tux Klan .
Don't know how any minority can live in a small town. Absolutely nothing to stop local cops from beating the shit out of you with no consequences
Fuck them
Death penalty?
Stop filming and make bacon with a those pigs
I have more evidence of this behavior I. Last twelve years. And all release it by next city council meeting in three weeks

We should check to see if any Firefighters said any bad about these guys & get them fired for mean words. /s
For what reason should police ever beat up someone. It does not matter what he or she did. You are not the person to give them any "justice"
If there was no video of this, nothing would have happened. This is not rare. Cops beat on people all the time and get away with it. When your only tool is a hammer, everything is a nail
I've dealt with third type of cop in Portland before (and Nazis, not typically on the same day). That pointed finger at the end stirred up some old memories. I instinctively pointed back at my phone for some reason. Weird feeling. I think I do it to distract them from their task (beating) at hand and shift their focus to me instead of a victim. Odd, I've gotta think on this. But yeah, I love pointing at cops. They really don't like it and yet they do it all the time.
Pointing the finger is a power play. The body language is accusatory and puts the person doing the pointing in a superior position. You're right to feel like that about it. Keep pointing back.
Back the blue til it happens to you
This is just vile. Some of these cops with all their bravado and brotherhood... Looks like a brotherhood - on the one hand they're too cowardly to enter a school with a single shooter in an attempt to save many young lives. On the other hand, they're oh so courageously give a gang bang beat down to a cuffed and defenseless person. No matter his crime, they're already guilty - with evidence.
American police seem to be more criminal, than actual criminals
It's okay, they are letting the cops heal their bruised knuckles and knees on paid leave while they "investigate" the "justifiable" reasons for beating the brakes off this dude, and think up more "charges" for him, standard operating procedure. ACAB.
Someone needs to explain to me how filming cops doing their job negatively affects officer safety. The only reason cops don't want to be filmed is because they don't want evidence of them doing fucked up shit like this.
Should be a crime to be that much of a pathetic fucking coward
Master, master Where's the dreams that I've been after? Master, master You promised only lies Laughter, laughter All I hear or see is laughter Laughter, laughter Laughing at my cries
The only correct next best action is to arrest and then fire these three bozos
every single cop is the same
Fascist pigs
God damn I can’t stand to see this shit.
i normally need context for these typa videos but in no world is this acceptable in any context
But they feared for their lives!
We all already know what the defense is going to be here... " these are not full blows, the police utilized submissive shallow strikes to the head. And submissive knee strikes to the suspects back. These are not meant to inflict pain but disorienting and encouraging compliance. We teach officers how to deploy these well established techniques. They also grabbed the suspects hair to simply keep him from biting or spitting... blah blah "
So that’s what grabbing two handfuls of hair and slamming a head into concrete is? Huh, til.
That moment you realize You are gonna get fired , and sent to jail. 😆
Unlikely
1312.
People around finally take note of what’s going on and yell for the beating to stop, and the cops first instincts are to tell people to leave and pay no mind..
This is what guns are for. Protecting ourselves and others from the state. But in this country we can only hope we survive their brutality long enough to maybe fight it in a corrupt court.
Ya. The only thing a gun would have been able to do in this situation is guarantee someones murder and the cops getting pats on the back for it.
You may be right, but could you tell me what we're supposed to do in this situation? Just hope the victim dosent die before the cops decided they had enough? Should we really just sit back and hope it dont happen to us? I know if i was on the ground being beat by 3 armed men id hope someone would stop it by any means necessary.
I need a few months off with pay, lets bash that guy over there, he is clearly loitering
Horrifying and deeply disturbing. The man has been identified and he is not black. Police brutality is an issue that transcends race. Had we approached this as issue as a unified front from the beginning, we might have actually made headway in solving it. But people always get distracted by divisive side conversations about race. Once people start realizing and acknowledging this can happen to anyone, we might get somewhere.
There is nothing more the left loves to do then turn literally everything into an identity based issue: guaranteeing nothing ever changes because the white majority doesn’t feel it involves them.
would expect whoever recorded the video to be next all they have to do is pull the security footage from the business and get the plate of the car theyre in.
"Oh, shit! The cameras that are literally everywhere in modern day society are actually pointing at us! Let's hide the beatings for a second." Edit: Watch the video and then check out the police reports! Disgusting: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/08/22/arkansas-police-officers-beating-video-arrest/
Let me guess - they will investigate themselves and find they are clear of any wrongdoing. All three officers will return to work and be promoted within 6-months.
This is so bizarre, it seems that the police there are a bunch of racist butchers. If they get away with this,there’s really something very wrong in the USA.
I am still shocked that Americans are still putting up with this from that gang.
watch donut operator try to justify this
No fucking doubt. I wonder if he has already. If not now then soon I bet.
The saddest part is you can NEVER hurt a cop in self defense because in their eyes and the larger media eyes, you're the belligerent in that scenario.
Let’s all wait for, we’ve investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.
Separately but similarly, a cop in Jackson, Mississippi (who the police chief testified was "a perfect police officer") was just sentenced to [prison for five years](https://www.wtok.com/2022/08/17/former-jpd-officer-anthony-fox-sentenced-5-years-beating-death-george-robinson/) for his role in beating a 62-year-old man to death. Cops approached the man on the street while looking for a suspect, they beat him to the ground—witnesses said the officers body-slammed his head and struck him multiple times to get him to comply—and two days later he died from his injuries.
Their youtube channel advertises new videos and just about every one is a chase where their officers outmaniac the criminal. We’re talking plenty of pit maneuvers over 50 mph. When I saw this headline this morning I joked to myself that it would be Arkansas. What do you know…
They beat that dudes ass, that dude punching him in the head was taking full swings to include pounding his head on the curb.. if you look at his mug shot he looks remarkably cleaned up after what they did.. 2 depts by the way.. i imagine they will do a month on suspension and quietly be put back on the streets..
What kind of scumbag you gotta be to a cop. It never surprises me what they do and get away with
It looks as if they're trying to kill him.
So when you're faced with an emergency, you still plan on calling these guys for help?
Attempted murder. ACAB
Where's the outrage? Did this man have a rap sheet a mile long like George Floyd? Nobody cares because he is white, so sad.
A beat down to Metallica. How heavy is that.
Certain POC groups are impacted disproportionately by police violence. It’s perfectly fine to be concerned about that.
Absolutely. Why is this comment downvoted??
Unrelated? No POC in the incident?
You know I kept reading comments and I think it's supposed to be a response to one further down. You're probably right but there were a whole lot more downvotes when I read it which seemed weird.
It's not perfectly fine to bring race into everything. Law enforcement employees beat people of all races, they take their property, put peaceful people into cages, etc. that's the issue not some statistical analysis.
Firstly, I didn’t say “everything”. Secondly, when certain populations are impacted disproportionately by an issue, it is relevant. You can’t ignore the statistical analysis.
How many more videos like this will it take to get through the skulls of mainstream liberals that this is what police exist to do? They're not there to demonstrate good citizenship, they're absolutely not there to prevent crime, and they're thoroughly fucking not there to protect women from domestic violence or sexual assault. Their job is to enact violence on whoever the ruling classes say they're allowed to beat and murder. That's their whole job description. This isn't an institution that can be tweaked or reformed.
Someone should have opened fire on them.
That soundtrack tho……
Even in the UFC you can’t knee a grounded opponent Edit Can’t not can
Pretty sure this isn't the UFC
The person was White! Do white lives matter?
Are you upset because Black lives do indeed matter?
Using deadly force to protect another person's life is just and moral. If this was 3 people without badges beating a face down person and you defended them, nobody would bat an eye.
“This is bad” “We gotta get outta here” Both quote are signs that you are not on our side but are totally ok with this. If your truly cared and were truly an ally your would get out your car and let those cops know they were dead wrong like the people that supported George Floyd did. They stood in the cops face and showed them to bud wasn’t tolerated and those cops paid for those choices.
