in a rare victory a subject of police extravagance is vindicated after shooting at them in self defense;
Minneapolis, MN — Last year, after the death of George Floyd sparked protests and riots across the country, Americans watched as the police state reared its teeth. TFTP reported on multiple instances of police violently attacking peaceful protesters, up to and including cops in California shooting a grandmother in her face with a rubber bullet.
Many folks were horribly injured by the police violence with some losing their sight forever. It was nothing short of a brutal occupation in which countless innocent people found themselves victims to police violence.
Jaleel Stallings, 29, was one of these victims and unlike the grandma mentioned above, he was able to defend himself against an unprovoked attack by police. His act of self-defense, however, got him charged with attempted murder.
Thanks to the body camera and security footage below, however, Stallings beat those charges and was acquitted in August. A month later, and the video has since been released showing the criminal actions of the officers involved, further vindicating Stallings.
Though some of the folks involved in the George Floyd protests were causing damage, rioting and looting, Stallings was one of the many peaceful protesters. But the fact that he was innocent, was no defense against brutal police violence.
On May 30, after police had imposed a curfew, officers used this as an excuse to dole out mass violence. Body camera footage shows that police were seemingly ecstatic that they were given a pass to hurt anyone they wanted.
Sgt. Andrew Bittell was one of these cops who received orders to quite literally “f**k people up.”
“Drive down Lake Street. You see a group, call it out. OK great! F*** ’em up, gas ’em, f*** ’em up,” Bittell was told.........read and watch more........
