this crap happens daily and the rest of us keep silent;

Chattanooga, TN — For fitting the description in the land of the free, police officers will claim the authority to violently pursue, harass, and initiate violence against you. Your innocence is of no consequence when it comes to police claiming you “look like a criminal.” In so many of the incidents on which TFTP reports, the majority of these cases involve innocent black men and cops have no problem laying waste to their rights.

Martel Smith is one of these men.

A video was shared with the Free Thought Project this week, showing officers detaining Smith, who had his children in the car. As the video shows, Smith is surrounded by heavily armed militarized U.S. Marshals who are pointing AR-15s at him and his kids in the back seat.

When Smith questioned their presence, he was dragged from the car and tasered. A woman with her family in the car at the gas pump next to Smith’s filmed the interaction. It was nothing short of insanity.

“What the hell are y’all on?” Smith yells at the cops who attacked him for no reason. “What the hell is this sh*t?”

Naturally, Smith is furious and gives the officers a piece of his mind for his utterly infuriating treatment. The woman filming had removed the children from his car and got them to safety in front of the gas station. They watch from a distance, terrified of what they are witnessing.

Smith had committed no crime. He had harmed no one, and he could have been murdered in front of his children because police thought he looked like someone else........read and watch more.......
