 protect and serve? this situation described below can easily happen to any of us in this new world order;


Columbia, SC — Dashcam footage was released this week showing exactly why some people should not be given a badge and a gun. Robert Langley Jr. had committed only minor traffic offenses yet his life was taken from him by a Hemingway police officer who had no business holding state approval to use deadly force and authority.

Langley was killed on Feb. 6 and for the last month and a half, his family has been fighting for the release of the dash camera footage as they believed he was wrongly killed. After watching the video below, you’ll see that they were entirely correct.

Langley was unarmed and appeared to have his hands in the air when Hemingway police officer Cassandra Dollard shot him at point blank range in his chest, killing him.

The video evidence was so damning, that Dollard was actually charged with voluntary manslaughter and arrested after the shooting. She becomes the first cop in the state to be charged with killing a civilian since officer Michael Slager murdered Walter Scott in 2015 — shooting him in the back multiple times as he ran away, unarmed.

According to police, Dollard claimed that she observed Langley roll through a stop sign, so she initiated a traffic stop. For unknown reasons, Langley did not immediately stop and led Dollard on a high-speed chase for about 5 minutes before crashing into a ditch.

The location of that crash was important because it would lead to Dollard’s slip which apparently gave her personal justification for killing the unarmed man.

As the video shows, Dollard approaches the vehicle from the passenger’s side with her gun drawn. She orders Langley to show his hands and he immediately complies and sticks his hands out of the window.

In what was a likely attempt to open the door, Langley briefly pulled his hands back in the vehicle before opening the door. As Langley attempts to exit the vehicle with his hands out, Dollard shoots him in the chest and he collapses........read and watch more.......
