I hope that the wife that took this video isn’t being harassed by Alpharetta’s PD in retaliation.
A white man who knows the way to pin down and rape a girl.
Couldn’t have said it better if I had written it myself. I would have gone to jail for assaulting a police officer had it been my kid. Or dead because I would have mollywhopped his ass. This is continuing to get out of hand and I honestly don't know what it will take to change the behavior from these officers in…
I want to know in what white world this man thought a police officer laying on top of a teenager would calm her down.
Jesus, if you told me that what was pictured was an interrupted sexual assault, it would seem more likely than a restraint hold. The video even makes it look he is dry humping her, making it actual sexual assault. ACAB, forever.
You’re not wrong, but damn this is sad. This should be a $1200 car, max, and really more like $1k. As many as 3 years ago that would have been the case. But in today’s market? They’ll probably get full price.
If we do nothing and maintain that status quo, with no laws that aid, encourage, or mandate it, it will take a long time. If there was even a decent push for some basic laws, like some being pushed locally that makes it so a landlord can’t reject reasonable requests by a tenant to pay to install a charging station,…
I’m not going to play nice. How the fuck does this not apply to Jalopnik you stupid fuck?
Right on!! Imagine a Jalopnik writer writing an article about an automotive topic to come up in discourse that will not only affect 100% of American Jalopnik readers but also the entire American automotive buyer’s market regardless of whether someone is buying a vehicle as an ‘appliance’ or that they’re a hardcore…
It’s gonna be really tough to run from prison.
The “Back the Blue” crowd really only loves cops when they’re doing bad things like this. I’m not sure what their goal is. Do they want all Americans to stop questioning LEOs when they do illicit shit like this? Pretty sure that’s fascism.
This is the whiny thread. Every article has one. It’s best to just ignore it and keep on scrolling.
If this wasn’t caught on camera, do we know that he wouldn’t have been charged?
Don’t bother with this one. You’ll never get a reasonable discussion out of them, just a lot of reheated Fox News bad takes.
Where does the article say they shouldn’t have been pulled over?
The question is partially answered in the article:
If only there weren't so many proven instances of bent cops doing exactly what this cop appeared to be doing we wouldn't have assumed the worst.
In the same way that police expect people to not “act suspiciously”after being stopped for fear of getting arrested or even shot, this cop was acting super suspiciously with that bag *even* if it was unintentional.
