[u/Darth_Groot28]

Meanwhile if I do that to a police officer, I would be getting 5+ years in jail.

[u/Skulldozr → u/Darth_Groot28]

Or 5+ bullets to the skull

[u/gerbilshower → u/Darth_Groot28]

You'd be shot, friend.

[u/Social_anxiety_guy_ → u/Darth_Groot28]

This is just one of so many reasons why all of us need to get well organize and abolish their police unions and abolish their national sheriff association as both police unions and the national sheriff association shield the police and sheriffs from not getting held accountable to the full extent of the law for their wrong doings we need real justice to get serve always

[u/TrumpsPissSoakedWig → u/Social_anxiety_guy_]

At least all those good apples stepped in and stopped it instead of just watching and helping hi-- oh dang, I guess they did do all that stuff, since you never seem to find any good ones, and especially in jails.

Those guys are the absolute worst scum of the earth ever. Their prisoners/slaves/captives have no constitutional rights for them to worry about. They have to do exactly what they say, no matter what, and they almost never face consequences like this.

All jail guards should have to wear bodycams, and there needs to be civilian oversight. It's an out of sight/out of mind situation and it's fucked beyond reason

[u/Social_anxiety_guy_ → u/TrumpsPissSoakedWig]

Exactly and it has got to get done now as soonest possible

[u/MichaelW85]

Wtf 😳

Good to see the so-called "Good Cops" are helping the victim out 🙃😉

[u/intense_in_tents → u/MichaelW85]

You can tell how good they are by how they didnt catch a charge or even get fired

[u/pppapw → u/MichaelW85]

Yea i thought first that they were going to de-escalate and pull the attacker off of him but they just helped him... today i learned that i've had too high expectations for cops

[u/funcouple1992]

Every officer who stood by deserves that minimum, and Rodriguez deserves tripple that

[u/Igoos99 → u/funcouple1992]

Agree. They should have removed the kid from this guy’s physical control and taken over booking him. Standing by and letting/watching the officer do that should be criminal as well.

[u/wishwashy → u/Igoos99]

Standing by and letting/watching the officer do that should be criminal as well.

They actually pinned his legs down while he slammed his head

[u/Igoos99 → u/wishwashy]

They should be charged. If those newbie cops who helped Chauvin kill Floyd were criminally responsible, then these guys definitely are. I’m quite positive they have more time on the force than the chauvin helpers.

[u/JudeRanch → u/Igoos99]

They were probably scared he’d turn on them. Not an excuse at all, this MF’er deserves more jail time than he received but even a badge does not a hero make.

[u/Electronic_You8800 → u/funcouple1992]

You kidding there’d be no cops left lol they’re all scumbags on ego trips never forget there is no crime small enough a cop won’t kill you over

[u/funcouple1992 → u/Electronic_You8800]

Lol I can dream can't I?

[u/TrumpsPissSoakedWig → u/Electronic_You8800]

No, act small enough. Forget laws, they don't care about that. All you have to do is make them feel stupid. Or just be asleep in your house like Brenna Taylor...

[u/Social_anxiety_guy_ → u/funcouple1992]

There are no good cops they are all always involve in brutality and in abuse of power we have to stop this we need to get organize and abolish their police unions and abolish their national sheriff association as both police unions and the national sheriff association shield the police and sheriffs from not getting held accountable to the full extent of the law for their wrong doings we need changes we need real justice to happen always

[u/nonumberplease]

Look at these 2 other "heroes" putting a stop to this violent criminal... oh wait... nvm.

[u/tidderite]

please put him with general-population

please put him with general-population

please put him with general-population

please put him with general-population

[u/[deleted]]

That punch looked like it could have killed him...

[u/theconstellinguist → u/[deleted]]

And then he threw him that hard in the cell afterwards. How is this person in control of their body enough to be a police officer.

[u/Legal_Guava3631 → u/[deleted]]

Slamming his head into the floor like that too

[u/Cockblocktimus_Pryme → u/Legal_Guava3631]

Kneeing his head into the wall

[u/SnooRabbits9672 → u/[deleted]]

Any fully grown man who fights a teenager like that is a P.O.S.. Assault on a minor should carry more than a year. That's someone's kid at the end of the day

[u/amayagab]

This pig and his pig buddies should die in prison.

[u/RegimenServas → u/amayagab]

Or just the first part

[u/amayagab → u/RegimenServas]

No. They are accessories to his crime. Fuck em

[u/BrickLuvsLamp → u/RegimenServas]

They saw him punch and slam a man doing nothing and went to pin his legs to make the beating easier, they deserve prison too

[u/tdomer80]

And the other cops just fucking stood there.

[u/RegimenServas → u/tdomer80]

No, they helped

[u/[deleted]]

looked like attempted murder...

[u/[deleted]]

Assault to a minor includes a prison sentence of at least 5 years, with a maximum of 30. Second degree assault constitutes a Class D felony. Such a felony can lead to up to seven years in state prison as a punishment.

But you know that's just for us commoners not in the blue

[u/iamdenislara]

What about the other 2 pigs in the video??

[u/SOMAVORE → u/iamdenislara]

They get promoted, you know that. They showed gang loyalty.

[u/Odd_Pool5596]

Seems like a reasonable person.

[u/EagleLize]

It's on record that this POS was violent several times in the past. While he was a school resource officer and to the shock of no one, domestic abuse.

[u/Sad-tacos]

Wtf? His lawyer even said he wasn't sorry. He was sorry he ended up in federal court. So, not for his actions, but the consequences???

[u/Entity-Crusher → u/Sad-tacos]

seinfeld episod

[u/BauserDominates]

What sentence did the other two get for helping?

[u/Legal_Guava3631]

NoT aLl CoPs. They did absolutely nothing but stand there and watch

[u/Voilent_Bunny]

I hope he gets treated the same way but worse

[u/FloridaHeat2023]

How many other kids has this demon beat and abused without any consequences though?

And the punishment is a light hand-slap compared to a what a normal citizen would get.

[u/brityank]

And they wonder why the general public hatred them?

[u/LuigiMPLS]

Both the witnessing officers should be charged if they did not report this

[u/rossburnett]

what about the other two fucks that were helping him?

[u/namesandfacez]

Why do I feel like his jail time is going to be like good fellas jail time

[u/Jubei612 → u/namesandfacez]

Thoughts and prayers...

[u/Jubei612]

How much time would the kid have gotten if he did that to the pig?

[u/TioSancho23]

ACAB

[u/Big_Preference9684]

the scummy lawyer then says he’s sorry he got caught

[u/In-Ohio]

Piece of shit wearing a badge

[u/StasisChassis]

Pigs don't talk, they squeal and since the only one to squeal on is himself... Oinkless.

[u/revolutiontime161]

Wow , they have a whole area just for officers in the prison . How many are in there ??

[u/philip1955]

He’s going to get some serious payback 🫤

[u/hmmmreallynow]

We need laws that severely punish police officers who beat up an innocent suspect.

What would be a reasonable punishment for this police officer in your opinion?

[u/TacoBMMonster]

That seems low.

[u/Waste-Actuary6467]

He’s been MADE to believe he can do this and he’s not the only one!! He’ll just be hired at another police department THEY WANT MFS LIKE THIS!!

[u/Waste-Actuary6467]

Ohh it’s a SAFTY ISSUE ISSUE and they’re going to make sure HE’S SAFE BUT PEOPLE LIKE US THEY DON’T GAF

[u/sittinfatdownsouth]

Why aren’t police officers punished more severely? They are in a position of authority.

If a citizen assaults a public official their offense is heightened, why doesn’t the same apply to a person of authority like an officer?

[u/NorthYorksFinest7]

Hope bro gets a stupid bag for this

[u/DeeSnutsIII]

Fuck this fool, make is pussy ass hit gp and see how far he makes on the mainline

[u/Charming_Water8748]

Ahhh I remember my first police beat down.... Wish I got paid for it

[u/No_Significance_6142]

https://youtu.be/QlSgYCeIfgM?feature=shared

When can I see justice

[u/Idaho_Home]

Wow absolutely shocking! Pure EVIL

[u/Frishdawgzz]

2 other agents should be charged also for watching this man do what he did without intervening

[u/Jayisonit]

How much this teen get paid ? That’s a guaranteed settlement

[u/Potential_Bid_1321]

Only 1 year?? Well maybe he will get a good dose of his own medicine!

[u/KyleBlegh]

Fuck the Police.

[u/Kindly-Conclusion-89]

Fuk the feds 🐷hella corrupted

[u/bigmanballs1]

We all know guys in America pull there pants up before they fight. Teen was squaring up.

[u/Rough-Star1223]

Hmm idk how much i care if in being honest if this kid was one of the classic idiots who beat up bus drivers and teachers ofc thts a jump but yea u cant go around jus attacking minors even if they are mouthy 😂

[u/ShamrockSeven → u/Rough-Star1223]

Being a criminal doesn’t warrant attempted murder. The Officers job is is to detain and book the criminal. Not be Judge Jury and Executioner because he can’t handle the kid talking a little shit.

I hope this fat pig goes to prison.

[u/Rough-Star1223 → u/ShamrockSeven]

Attempted murder??? Ok and he did go to prison

[u/ShamrockSeven → u/Rough-Star1223]

Yes attempted murder. How is that not obvious? Sucker Punch, Knee to the chest, Then while sitting on top of him he slams his head into the concrete floor by his hair.

I’m sure if you were in his situation, you would be licking the officers Boot. 🥾👅

[u/LegitimateSituation4 → u/Rough-Star1223]

Why are you forcing to believe hypotheticals to defend this?
