Does the officer in question still have a job


Also there's an odd amount of hype being built by this. A fucking scheduled time it'll be released? We teasing police brutality videos now?!

They get paid vacations for doing this.
Imagine you getting one for calling your boss a cunt. You'd do it all the time.

I'm bracing myself for the onslaught of "well he shouldn't have parked like that" posts across comment sections everywhere.

Wasn't it last year that a Bucks player was harassed by a jewelry store manager? The fuck is your deal Milwaukee?

"There's going to be a video that comes out here soon. In the next couple of weeks involving the department. I'm going to be honest with you. We're going to need your support during the challenges."

User Banned (2 Weeks): Use of racist language. Even in a joking, subversive context like this, this is not acceptable on the forum.
But you niggers better stand for the anthem, or else!

No. Stop using the word "mistake" while you're at it. You know your boys are out there drooling for a chance to do this to black folks.

This is why cops kill suspects then plant drugs on them. Less potential for a screw up like this.

Damn body cams making it tough for racists everywhere.

Remember, y'all - beating, shooting, tazing, killing, arresting, imprisoning, harrassing people excessively is totally fine, especially if they're minorities/immigrants of any status.

Don't visibly peacefully protest against this if you play any sports though, otherwise you and your team will be fined.

Yeah, people brought it up often enough, but when you aren't even going to fire the asshole who makes your organization "brace" for apparently justified outrage then I don't know what to say. If nobodys is held accountable for their bullshit this won't stop.

Apparently almost all the officers there had body cams, along with all the camera footage from the parking lot, so we going to get a pretty good look at what happened, from multiple angles.

And surprise, they say nothing about firing or arresting the person responsible.

Same shit, different day.

Hopefully the protests the police fear are coming and the community isn't swayed by the attempt to stop them before it starts.

If they don't do anything, they'll just let this get swept under the rug. Even with noise, they'll still try.

I'm sure the paid leave during an internal investigation was a real good time for reflection.

Maybe they're over hyping it so when we see it we think it's not as bad as we expected and nothing happens

Paid vacation for another cop abusing his power on the same day the NFL states that players cannot kneel, raise a fist, or link arms to protest police brutality anymore.

This is America.

It's either really fucking bad or "very bad" and they're trying to raise expectations so it doesn't "seem as bad" when it actually comes out

Didn't think about the other possibility but yeah overhypjng it would be some seriously underhanded shit so they can continue getting away with banal everyday evil.

He shouldn't have parked across 2 disabled spaces, it's the act of a selfish piece of shit. I wish I could convey to you what it feels like to see a car take the last disabled bay and watch the driver hop out and jog into the store.

With that out of the way, it's absolutely certain that if the offender wasn't black the police response would have been completely different. I hope he and his lawyers crucify the police department.

I'm guessing they relished the opportunity to beat down a larger, physically superior man that they wouldn't dare step to without a badge and weapon. Just pig things.

Yes because walgreens are PACKED at 2 in the fucking morning. People break laws. The response from police is always to beat the shit out of black people and kill them. Versus, a fine.

Yeah, based on all these pre-apologies, I'm going to guess there's some overtly racist shit in the video.

It shames me to say that Milwaukee is literally the most segregated city in the country. Race relations have always been abysmal as I remember growing up with the whole Michael McGee thing.

https://www.nytimes.com/1990/04/06/us/call-for-black-militia-stuns-milwaukee.html

I live in St. Louis now and I can't imagine a city being worse than it is here where literally the whole north side is one giant mostly impoverished black neighborhood. But somehow Milwaukee is considered to be worse!

Are we that fucking invisible on this forum? That's precisely what I said:
