Ho hum just 3 police officers repeatedly bashing a guys head on the ground after he’s clearly been subdued.

Big fan of the criticism of the person taking the video in the comments for "taping instead of making a differece".

What is a bystander going to do there? Call the police on the police? Interfere and get arrested for assaulting an officer?

Judging the actions of those officers in the video, I think just being arrested for assaulting an officer would be one of the least negative outcomes of interfering. I'd be terrified they'd yank me out of the car and start bashing my head against the ground too.

After being caught in the act, I'm somewhat surprised they didn't take the phone, destroy it and make up some bs justifying it by claiming they felt threatened.

Yeah, as great as it sounds in theory to jump in and help the victim it's only going to result in the same thing happening to you. Filming them is really the best thing they could do there. If there is a second phone available I would call 911 and let them know their pigs are out of control though.

I get that the cops were called, likely by a Karen. Suspicious car. Guy at a house that's not his. But the cops' line of questioning is hilarious to me.

"What's your name?"
- Pastor Jennings

"When police ask your name, you gotta tell us"
- I did tell you, I was Pastor Jennings
"That's not a name"

He didn't really ask for the name either, beyond that. Never asked for a first name. He immediately asked for ID. How many people take ID to do yardwork?

- I was just watering the plants
"How do we know you were just watering the plants?"
- Because I have a hose in my hands.
"Anybody can grab a hose"

WTF does that mean? LOL. So if he WAS suspicious and up to no good, how would he know to grab the hose? Did he know the police were called for a suspect with a hose?

"Excuse me, we were called because a neighbor reported a suspicious guy and vehicle in this yard."
- Yes, I am Pastor Jennings, I live across the street (with point) and my neighbor asked me to water his yard.
"oh ok, is this your vehicle?"
- No sir
"Checks plates, ok this is registered to the guy that lives here. Ok sir, have a nice day"

End of conversation.

(Disturbing body cam footage. I think it’s important to see how quickly the cops shot but if people don’t want it I’ll remove)

That's a good read. It really goes to show how such a minor event (in the grand scheme of things) can be turned whole cloth into something infinitely more destructive by just a handful of bad actors.

Also: forget just defunding sheriffs (and sheriff's departments); horsefeathering eliminate those shams altogether and salt the horsefeathering earth.
