Seems like these community service members need to have a higher education, remove qualified immunity and knowledge on how to communicate with various groups of individuals. Similar to malpractice with Doctors and lawyers. Training apparently isn't enough, however on the other hand customer service seems to be doing better - flight attendants & waitresses. Regardless, studies have shown that when active members in society obtain a higher Ed degree--- it leads to more cooperation & collaboration, not led by fear and aggression.
I weep for the future if this continues, no one should strive for a police state, especially when 'safety for property' is pushed by the wealthy. In my humble opinion, we American should always strive to leave better for our future and strive for continuous improvement. That's the American Dream I follow, and hope my neighbors believe in as well. The white picket fence is long gone, let us join together to create that dream for the younger generation. Who already have to live in fear from climate change, mass shootings and looming job scarcity, all created by corporate head figures.

Too often police officers behave like deranged autobots when they interact with people of color.
Clifford Owensby told the police officers that he is a paraplegic. That did not stop them from violently dragging him out of his car.
Dylan Roof is a self-declared white supremacist who murdered nine (9) people attending Mass at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C.
He was arrested peacefully without incident. He was treated with respect & dignity.
Until and unless the leadership in the precincts curtail such behavior by ensuring that violent, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, sadistic officers are never hired, promptly fired or retrained, the communities must identify and remove those rogue elements on their own.

Let me get this straight. A man seen leaving a suspected drug house that police are monitoring. Coupled with his prior drug and firearm arrest history, he is pulled over by police. He is asked to exit the vehicle so the K-9 can do a "free Air" search of the vehicle. He refuses stating that he's a paralyzed. Officers ask to assist him to which he responds for them not to touch him. After several attempts to get him to comply,the officers physically removes him from the car. No drugs or weapons were recovered. A bag containing 22k+ was recovered from the vehicle, which he claims is his life's savings. interesting.

Ok I am just a little confused. They say he came out of a known drug dealer house… how, if he couldn’t walk? Did he use a wheel chair? They also said his 3 year old wasn’t strapped in and they found thousands of dollars in the car but no drugs.
I am not saying they are correct in his removal of the car. So don’t jump all over me. I just think there was more to this than both sides are saying. Yes, I watched the video and he could have asked the officers to get his wheel chair out. Also doesn’t look like there were handicapped controls on the steering wheel, so how was he driving.

Why is it always these isolated incidents that the media focuses on? Why not feed positivity into our nations police forces by spotlighting the times that cops do good and help out people every single day. I bet if we start appreciating them and respecting them then these incidents will all but drop off cause they will be proud of what they do and the bad ones will get pushed out. Oh wait I forgot, that wouldn’t fit your political agenda and it doesn’t get clicks cause people are drawn to violence and chaos. As the saying goes “if it bleeds, it leads!”

22k. He probably just supplied the whole neighborhood with fenny. That's not weed money amounts. And everyone thinks the money shouldn't be mentioned of course he had no drugs. He just sold them all. They don't just pull over every user that comes out of a drug house they are watching. They pull over the ones they think will snitch or the suppliers. I've had my dark past. But on drugs or not. Never in my darkest days would I bring my kid to a dealers house. He's lucky it was the cops pulling him over and not some junkie shooting up his car for that 22k.

This story is fishy. I heard the police say 2 or 3 times “I’m going to help you out of the car” and he said “no you’re not” there’s lots of unanswered questions. To be fair, they offered help 3 times and he essentially resisted because he told them no. Also, if he needed the help but didn’t want them to do it. Why wouldn’t he call someone to come help him out of the car. Instead of asking people to come down and record what was happening. I’m all for sticking of for injustice but this whole thing is weird.

The concern has nothing to do with WHY they wanted him out. The focus should be HOW. The dog warden handles dogs with more care than that. Even alligator wrestlers are more humane. If he was actively in the process of killing someone, I can see snatching him up like that. Otherwise, there is no excuse. I don't care if the door panels were loaded with heroin, and the trunk packed tight with money. I don't care if he's spent 6 months, out of every year of his life, in jail. Officers are trained on how to non-violently restrain and move people. The moment that cop grabbed him by the hair, the cop was making a conscious choice to be unprofessional, intentionally harmful, and intentionally abusive.

Why you dont talk about Parag Khanna, the writer of the article also authored a book called ‘Move: How Mass Migration Will Reshape the World — and What It Means For You’.
Unsurprisingly, he also has close ties with the World Economic Forum and the Council on Foreign Relations and was a ‘Global Governance Fellow’ at the Brookings Institution.
He then asserts that “labour shortages” in North America and Europe will necessitate these regions “to open the immigration taps accordingly.”
“North America and Eurasia must absorb more people,” demands Khanna, seemingly unsatisfied with the massive numbers of migrants they are already taking in.
“Today’s fiscally strained and depopulating Visegrad countries could fuse into a larger federation to better administer their vital forests, agriculture and rivers in order to prepare for demographic replenishment by Arabs and Asians,” he writes.

Remember that Police department that did that elderly white lady like that and the city hurried up and paid her $3 million dollars for her suffering and they fired those cops for treating her that way very rarely does black people be treated like that in this country where it has a particular and unusual hostility towards black folks and you can see it throughout the entire history of this country and let's not forget how the police department was the enforcers of that segregated and Jim Crow society where even today police department's all over the nation are predominantly inhabited by white males have a nice day that's not a coincidence
