    The sheriff said the cellphone camera footage from inside the car “does not comprehensively capture the circumstances surrounding the incident.”

    Bullshit.

    As always, ACAB.

        Dude handled it like an absolute champ, but the sad thing is, he knows being black it’s his only option. You saw how they treated him for absolutely nothing, now imagine how much they would’ve escalated had he done a single damn thing more …

          Which is why I don’t understand where the fucking 2025 equivalent to the black Panthers are. This was the whole point, follow cops with guns and make them uncomfortable abusing black citizens.

              reagan did the most damage, he was the reason for amssive gun control in california, he was scared of the black panthers, being the racist he is.

                Its difficult to not feel chills watching this scene from Panther.

                But yeah the US was very happy to violently put down any form of organized black resistance. (fun fact: the bodies of the children who died in the MOVE bombing were donated to universities, without their families’ knowledge or consent)

      That and the following quotes are just over the top. The cop states it so plainly I can just hear how he actually believes this. It’s not the same reality I live in.
