@mefbama @Maejor4Congress Couple things: what do charges have to do with how an American citizen is treated during an arrest? What does the eighth amendment mean to you?

@JonesNoWonder @Maejor4Congress Resisting arrest, fighting with the cops. I am merely pointing out there is more to the story than a seat belt. When all the body cams come out we will see everything that went on and the jury will decide the fate of both cops and perp.

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress Do you believe everything you read? Grow up Melanie.

@Three3sMalka @Maejor4Congress I am just posting from a local news article. There is always more to every story. Up to the people who actually live in the town to decide what's what when all the body cams come out.

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress Does the justify cops beating someone SUSPECTED of committing a crime?

@JMuhd1 @Maejor4Congress Of course not. However when someone resist, fight with cops trying to make an arrest, your likely to end up looking like that, and that is choice someone made, all be it a poor one. If the cops beat him for no reason, they should face consequences too.

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress And yet a white guy stabbed 5 police officers in Boston, and was taken into custody....alive.

@b_woodbine @Maejor4Congress Lots of people who stab or shoot people even get taken alive, so did this guy, not unusual.

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress Regardless of the charges... This amount of violence seems a bit excessive to me. Especially for his face to look like that? No ma'am. If they needed to rough him up a bit for his actions and resisting, fine. But this? No. Unacceptable. At least they didn't shoot him I guess. 😒

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress and not wearing a seatbelt! still looks like excessive force regardless.

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress 1. Resisting an officer with violence is always sus as a reason for arrest because cops literally say that if you look at them cross eyed. 2. None of those are reasons to beat somebody up like this. There's a thing called restraint - get some.

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress So instead of allowing the court system to serve justice they had to beat him this bad?! Dylan Roof mauled down black ppl in a church and was taken to Burger King right after before they took him to jail. Y’all humor me whenever y’all go that route to justify a cop beating a BM

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress That’s what the “cops” say, we all know they have to make up false reports to try and justify their actions

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress So a drug dealer deserves to get beat up because he is a drug dealer? Is that your stance?

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress Police are not here to be the judge, jury, and executioner, no matter the person may have done. Their job is to apprehend and take in if anything. Also, many police officers have OPENLY stated that they will say resisting an officer for anything

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress The can charge you with whatever they want. Based on the beating I’d question their decisions & character so I cannot go by charges alone

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress That honestly means nothing, and none of it could be true.

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress Innocent until proven guilty

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress It’s crazy what cops get away with.

@mefbama @Maejor4Congress Let’s see who’s right and who’s quiet once the bodycam comes out.
