A lot of times, TYT gets it wrong, but they are making valid points here.

Watch the dashcam footage highspeed. It was for the 3rd brake light.

The dashcam video CLEARLY shows both left and center tail lights out. The right and left break lights work. But tail lights are out.

Let's not make an unfortunate situation worse by promoting false factual claims.

More proof that a cops first reaction is to use a gun, not use logic/reason. All most cops know how to do is escalate a situation, not deescalate.

Of course, this cop won't get any type of criminal conviction.

Most cops??? Like literally over 50%? Or, are you using hyperbole for effect?

The argument is invalid as soon as they try and compare the US to Europe. I mean for Christ's sake they try to compare the US to Finland..Finland?! More people get murdered in Orlando Florida in a year than in the ENTIRE country of Finland in a year. So of course the cops are less lethal. There is WAAAAAY less violent crime.

TYT are big fans of immigration..why don't they study up on our best and brightest south of the border...I'm sure their cops are "less lethal".............................................................

Disgusting. The cop should be fired and charged with assault.

Bet he doesn't jaywalk again.













Just kidding. Doubt he learned his lesson.

But for those who think its BS this is one of those things that the government has to do because people are generally too stupid to protect themselves. I'm sure any of my central Florida neighbors here can vouch but jaywalking literally kills AT LEAST 1 person a week in Orlando.

I just don't get the whole 'the government has to' mindset. It's part of the reason we've seen our liberties trampled underfoot.

Lets carry that line of reasoning out to its logical conclusion. If the government has to look out for the people and protect them because they are too stupid, then you obviously don't have an issue with the govt giving free food and housing to these same people because they are too stupid, correct?

Since when did any of America's founding documents even mention the government protecting the citizen from themselves?

Nope. Their lives suck. Not my problem.

The officer in that video could have absolutely done things different. But the douchebag who decided to thug out could have probably acted a lot different as well. Its almost like some segments of our community cannot learn from past mistakes. I got this feeling that they are the ones who keep touching the hot stove after burning themselves..

For your second paragraph the world our Founding Fathers lived in was VASTLY different than today. Natural selection still existed.

You can't control how someone is going to react when they feel that they have been treated unjustly.

"Thug"... I guess a "thug" is someone who jaywalks on his way home from a job? That passes as a "thug" now?

Well.... he was cracking head but we have no idea what transpired beforehand... hard to throw a lot of shade at this point

This is what happened before...

According to the criminal complaint, Promvongsa caught the attention of an off-duty officer by following closely, speeding past him and later saying he "was going to get his boys and come back to get them." The officer said he believed Promvongsa was attempting to harm him and another off-duty officer. They called dispatch.

The officer and Agent Joe Joswiak then attempted to pull Promvongsa over, but said he wouldn't stop his vehicle at first. The video picks up what happened next.

The ACLU is now demanding an investigation into Joswiak's actions and calling for his termination and prosecution.

"Police have a very important job to do and valuable job to do, to enforce the law and to protect people. It is not their job to take punishment into their own hands and whoop on people," Gordon said.

So these cops were allowed to engage in a little road rage and got in their feelings because some kid smarted off to them. If a civilian had pulled the same stunt, they would be in jail right now.

Taking the fact that the cops are the ones that pounded on him...... the guy acted like a dumbass beforehand. I'm not giving the cops a pass..... just saying.... somebody always does something stupid that instigates a police involved beat down

50% is a good starting point. I don't think that is unreasonable.

I don't doubt you believe that. But I'm setting here thinking, 50% of the sheriff's dept, half of city cops, and 50% of State troopers are corrupt. I can't even fathom. If that were true, wouldn't we have multiple reports every hour of reprehensible behavior?
