more cop follies to add to your awareness of how things really are;

Louisville, KY — Louisville police have been receiving some much needed attention recently after several of their officers kicked in the door to an innocent couple’s home and murdered Breonna Taylor in her hallway. Since then, the country has learned how far the system will go to protect cops who violate the rights of citizens. However, as the following incident illustrates, Taylor’s case is just one of many in which police engage in deceptive tactics to justify their violence to the public.

Body camera footage was released this week which contradicts the reasoning given by officer Jason Burba and other officers for using violence against 25-year-old Princeton Brown. In their report from the incident that unfolded in October 2019, police claimed that when they approached Brown, he “took a fighting stance” and officer Burba had no other option by to punch the mentally ill man in the jaw before he was slammed face first into the concrete.

But as the newly released footage shows, that is not how the scene unfolded. Brown showed his hands as requested and never once took a fighting stance.

According to police, a woman called 911 because Brown — who is a diagnosed schizophrenic — asked for her keys to her car in the parking lot. He did not harm the woman, but frightened her when he allegedly tried to get in her car, enough to where she sped off and called police. Obviously, attempting to take someone’s keys and get in their car is not okay but the force used against Brown in the subsequent beating and take down was not okay either.

As the video shows, Brown is compliant until he’s told to get on the ground. Despite refusing to get on the ground, Brown was not violent and only passively resisted by grabbing a nearby fence as police attempted to force him down.......read and watch more....
