A video of Florida deputies punching and dragging a Black man from his car during a traffic stop has caused national outrage, with civil rights lawyers accusing authorities of fabricating their arrest report.

    I saw the body cam footage. While they definitely used excessive force when they beat him up, he resisted arrest and was being overall combative. When the cop asked him for his ids he says no and slams the door closed and locks it. (His window was broken so he was communicating by opening the door)

    The cop showed amazing composure by not immediately breaking the window and pulling him out. If that would have happened imo it would have been justified.

      Yeah, you wont get anywhere with most of these guys. Sure the cops were violent. There is nothing preventing that. These same folks on here saying stupid shit about whether the guy deserved it are not accepting it doesn’t matter. Cops get a free pass and until they face any consequences it wont change. They see anything saying the dipshit in the car is somehow at fault and they lose all ability to reason. The people on here complaining the loudest will be the ones complying the most. You can bet they will be smooching those cops taint.
