Apparently this is fucking reddit now.

You somehow simultaneously believe that a cop did not sign up for a dangerous job and also that not complying with a cop for 1.5 seconds is signing up for potential paralysis or death.

Utter trash take/person.

The punch unecessary and excessive. The slam unnecessary and excessive. The alleged open container is enough to bring her in to test her but she doesnt have the right to call her mom in this immediate situation. He should have deescalated the situation by advising her why he's detaining her and explain she can call her from the jail. This guy had an ego trip and just wanted to beat a black woman. She kind of knew her rights. American police are poorly trained and not punished harsh enough for what they do. When the police are punished they get paid leave and the payouts come from the city rather than the individual or the police budget.

I can be happy a drunk is off the street and be mad at how, can't I?

"Caught for going 71 in a 60 mile an hour zone", if she was white this would have been a ticket and a "have a nice night, please keep to the speed limit".

Children/teens who are afraid often do not take instructions well. I work at a children's hospital and can get kids with severe autism and fear of medical providers to behave and comply with treatment by being patient and empathetic.

At no point would scaring them more or hurting them help the situation.

Justice will not come from the courts

Lol, that's what you think is resisting arrest?

My, what a big, strong man. Someone should castrate him with a pitbull.

Him sitting straddled on top of her like that and demanding she turn around. It looks like he might've been trying to rape her too.

They certainly have a lot of incentives to lie!

The context does not remover her victim status.

Yea you can. Other poster said she was not a victim.

The only proof of that is the officers word. I don’t trust cops.

We aren’t assuming the cop is excessive. We are watching it on video.

We absolutely do not need to consider his safety. He is a big boy. He can do that all on his own.

They've been allowed to get away with too much of this shit, and now they're learning that they can get away with anything.

She was doing literally nothing before he slams her to the ground, and then he punches her in the face and threatens to do it again, saying "Who said I can't punch you in your face?"

Holy shit. These people need to face consequences for abusing their authority. Qualified immunity was a huge mistake.

Jesus it looks like he was trying to cuff her (why? she was going 11 over the speed limit?) and then lost control because nobody likes going in cuffs. So then he follows up this dumbass decision to arrest her by throwing her down to put cuffs on her. She lands on her back (fucking ouch) so he can't cuff her in the front and wants her to flip over. He can't do it because she is stronger than him so he decides to beat and threaten her until he gets what he wants. Then after she is arrested and even less of a threat he decides to slam her into the hood of the car for no fucking reason. Even by pig standards this is grossly excessive and fucking disgusting.

Fuck all cops, and their families, and their friends, and everything about and around them. They should all drop dead.

This asshole was probably just frustrated that he hadn't already beaten his wife enough.

Here's an article about it: https://www.actionnews5.com/2026/08/12/civil-rights-lawsuit-filed-against-arkansas-state-trooper-after-traffic-stop-altercation/

It's a civil trial, so doesn't sound like he'll actually face criminal punishment. I hope she wins millions, but even if she does it will be the tax payer footing the bill.

I think it's a bit (ironically) disingenuous to call them stupid; they're just as smart as everyone else which is why it's so terrifying that they actively vote against their own best interests. They do so because by hurting themselves, they are also hurting the people they want to hurt and exclude. It's why they don't want healthcare for all, or free tuition, etc., that means 'ethnics' get it too, and they don't want that.

"They'll shit themselves just so you'd smell it."

I've been saying it for 2 fucking decades now.

Settlements for misdeeds should come out of the police pension fund. and take that motherfucker into the negatives. force it to take out loans and sell off investments, to cover every single settlement.

See how long they last enjoying their gratifying abuse of the peasantry when their pension fund is 370 million dollars in the hole, and no ones getting a dime.

They voted for a fascist criminal Nazi, by choice. They are 100% like this cop.

In 2016, maybe they were just idiots. But they went running back to it. After 4 years of stupid hate filled bull shit idiocy, they WANTED MORE.

Anyone who watches this video and still thinks "Defund the Police" is too extreme can join the piggies in the dock when the People's Tribunals start.

May you be reincarnated as a penniless Black Man in Mississippi, then as a Native woman in North Dakota.

"Who said I couldn't punch you?" said the piece of shit cop.

"It is just one bad apple!" said the person who doesn't understand the proverb.

It’d also be interesting to see how the group dynamics play out when the real shitty cops start costing the simple enablers money out of their own retirement pockets….

"Whats your problem?!" said the piece of shit cop after brutalizing a teenager.

Solve this the American way and it will be politically easier. Just require them to carry malpractice insurance like doctors do. The problem would be solved overnight, insurance won’t cover the bad apples.

terrible. fuck pigs

I tend think that these people too old and fat to pull off this kind of violence. Plus, most of them are cowards.

Three apples sit at a table with one bad apple.

There are four bad apples sitting at a table.

Well there was one time I heard about a cop telling the truth. He complained about the abuse and fraud in the LAPD. He filed complaints appropriately and then he got written up, told he needed to improve.

Eventually, he was fired and declared war on the LAPD and their families. That's the part you might have heard about before.

Is there a justification for body slamming a person after they cry and hesitate for 1.5 seconds? If the answer is yes, you're a horrible person.

So...

saw alcohol
previous open container
improper display of tags
a restriction on vehicle lamps
no seat belt
purchase or possession of alcohol by a minor
refusal to submit to arrest
71 in a 60-mile-per-hour zone

So she's pulled over for driving 11 over on a highway... which is kind of normal... and may be in possession of alcohol (not open container, not DUI). He likely tossed every non-moving violation he could think of punitively because she dared to "resist" and didn't show the respect he expected.

Sound like just consequences for driving while black in the USA.

I have one evil one who votes dem and one possibly evil but more likely just stupid that votes republican so I’m on the fence

If I see him I'll shoot him, I really don't give a fuck and they deserve to know at least one person would lay them down.

Fuck this pig. Someone twice his size should body slam him, straddle him, force him into submission, punch him in the face, and openly mock his objections. I’d like him to know the terror and pain that little girl felt. It’s the least of what he deserves.

That's some mental illness shit. Hope he gets removed and she gets compensated

Cops should be trained to never punch anything ever, that's how boxers and fighters are taught actually first day in the gym --- without proper gloves you should never punch anything, high risk of breaking your own hand.

It's just a complete lack of training, or just counterproductive training, because no trained teacher/coach will ever tell you to punch something without proper gloves fastened and secured.

no there really aren't man, there's people who didn't know better and voted trump the first time, but the magas are people who are bad people and see that trump is a bad person, and that's precisely why they voted for him.

Yeah I only threw you on the ground and punched you in the face, what's your problem?

Your takeaway here is that the cops should receive better martial training?

Im genuinely not sure how to address that.

I hope he gets removed by a lightning bolt and the wrath of an angry god.

You people are all wrong, but it doesn't matter - you're clearly prejudiced and think it justified.

Very few people actually want to make the world a worse place. You, however, think an idiot lacking empathy means you're free to throw yours away.

Yes conservatives are, on average, fucking regarded. That doesn't make them evil. Unless you think stupidity is evil, which it certainly can be.

It's not about intelligence or "evil", it's about them knowing they make a living off of lies and fraud and abuse and putting someone in power who makes his money the same way.

The takeaway is their training is completely unacceptable at the most basic fundamental levels. Good luck figuring out how to address that.

She of course shouldn’t be assaulted

She’s not a victim here.

She is a victim here. There is very little context that could ever justify this.
