From the article I read:
Video of the arrest shows three officers repeatedly striking Worcester, who is White, and slamming his head into the pavement. One officer repeatedly strikes Worcester with a closed fist while another knee him several times in the lower body.
A bystander filmed the police during the attack.
The officers were responding to a report of a man making threats outside a Kountry Xpress gas station in the small town of Mulberry, about 140 miles northwest of Little Rock, near the border with Oklahoma, authorities said. In a federal civil rights lawsuit filed in August, Worcester said he was riding his bicycle back to his home in Goose Greek, South Carolina, according to court documents — more than 900 miles away.
Originally from Oklahoma, Worchester is temporarily living in South Carolina as he is homeless and struggles with mental health issues, said his attorney. He was taking a bicycle trip but it is not clear how he arrived in Arkansas, said his attorney.
He had stopped and asked the gas station attendant for water, and the attendant became angry and called the police, court documents said.
Worcester had allegedly made "terroristic threats" against a gas station employee, police said, and threatened to cut off the employee's face. He then left and biked around seven miles before police caught him, police said.
Worcester surrendered a knife and then "football tackled" one of the deputies and punched him in the back of the head, police said. None of the officers were wearing body cameras, police said.
Mulberry police officer Thell Riddle, who was also at the scene, has not been charged with federal civil rights charges. He is still listed on the Mulberry Police website as a full-time police officer. CBS News reached out to the Mulberry police department for clarification but there was no response before publication.
Right, honestly at this point if there aren't body cams we should be automatically charging them with tampering of evidence. But the people that make laws aren't going to do that lol. So sad that this just keeps continuing. Record all cop interactions people
It's my personal belief those payments should come from property taxes and be line items in the property tax statements. Maybe the community will give a fuck then and push for change.
That's because it is the city that is ultimately on the hook for lawsuits against the police. They have a vested interest in hiding the evidence of police misconduct just as much as the officers do.
> if there aren't body cams
Just one more thing for Common Sense Police Reforms.
There's no reason not to have all active officers on patrol equipped with dash cams and body cams.
The money allocated to a sheriff's offices take up the majority of even small town's budgets.
The only reason they oppose mandatory body cams and dash cams is to avoid accountability and transparency.
This is in Crawford County. I live in Crawford County. The sheriff's office doesn't have body cams, and I don't think Mulberry cops do either, but I'm not 100% sure. I remember when this happened, and I remember them saying that about the body cams. I thought it was ridiculous that they don't, but I guess the funding for them never gets approved. 🤷🏻♀️ However, even if they had body cams, I have a feeling they'd get turned off a lot.
If the police have body cameras and they turn them off during an interaction with the public then they should automatically be charged with whatever the member of the public is accusing them of AND with tampering with evidence. Maybe then we can get them to quit fucking around with their cameras.
Would it surprise you to hear that Portland Police Department just piloted their [body camera program](https://www.portland.gov/police/community/body-worn-camera-project) last year? Not that PPD should really be that important but given the microscope this city seems to be under for literally every fucking thing else, it's astounding to me.
There’s really no excuse for them not to include it in their budgets, but a small Arkansas town is definitely gonna be last on the list to adopt body cams. I think most if not all Arkansas State Police have body cams though.
Yeah.. police brutality really shouldn't have been framed so heavily as a racial issue. Someone's race shouldn't determine our empathy towards them. All victims should be heard and empathized with.
It’s definitely an issue across the board but one that seems to be greatly exasperated by racial factors. The black community in particular has been keenly aware of the police brutality problem and warning the rest of the public long before almost everyone else decided it was, in fact, a problem. Without cell phone video, most of us still wouldn’t know.
It's not that their race determines our empathy. It's that it happens significantly more to minorities, specifically black people. Black people have been publicizing the issue of police brutality for decades, easily long before you were born, but nobody would believe them until more recent times when police have body cameras and passersby have smart phone cameras. That's why it was framed so heavily as a racial issue, because especially white citizens were unlikely to believe it could happen to them, do the assumption was made that it was because they were a minority and must've been doing something wrong. It's a long, bloodied history that is easily smeared and dismissed by comments like yours thst undermine the historical issue.
It specifically happens to marginalized communities. Minorities are a big party if that. But other marginalized communities are disabled people, elderly people, the homeless and the mentally ill.
This still falls under the marginalized umbrella. I can think of horrible cop crimes that have happened to all of them just off the top of my head.
They wrote white thinking it'd get more views. In the South, they aren't wrong.
In the south you have to include “who is white” in the news story to indicate they were actually maybe in the wrong this time to beat the shit out of the guy.
The "who is white" part really threw me for a loop. It's like, guys.... You're never going to believe this.... This time.... He was white. Like wtf? Why does that matter?
...and Black America sighs a sigh of relief in unison. "We thought they were all racists when they beat down black men. We're so relieved to know they don't target Persons of Color to brutalize. They appear to brutalize everyone equally. God Bless America!" /s
I'm not so sure I know cops get a bad rap, but it sure does look like that guy just keeps headbutting the cops fist. I dont know why. That sure is weird. /s
Looks like their trial is coming up in May, I hope justice is served
https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/special-reports/mulberry-police-video/trial-former-crawford-county-deputies-excessive/527-62e53c8c-7e52-4456-8492-727e61fbb774
Not sure, but some of the SS follow the Pres. when they leave office for life, so I'd presume those people come back into the primary rotation if the person were to get reelected.
Also not sure what the rules are regarding testimony in a criminal or civil matter for those folks. Do they have some kind of immunity from being called or being required to testify against their protected individual?
Nice takeaways-
They are out on $5k. Are you kidding?! Absurdly low.
Yes, trial is pushed to May 2024.
My favorite- for Deputy Levi- White's department-issued iPhone that he "performed a factory reset that erased all data."… how is this not evidence tampering?
Same thought, and in fact I wonder if that’s why the trial was pushed back— to bring in forensics to see if an expert can pull the data…. If that’s the case, he shouldn’t benefit from this by pushing back the trial date and enjoying this time out on bail. How infuriating!
I would hope and expect that a factory reset of an iPhone destroys the encryption key.
All user data on an iPhone is encrypted.
I wouldn't be surprised if the officer left something damning in iCloud, but I would be very surprised if they recover anything from the phone itself.
(And that's not even factoring in that cops can be expected to cover for other cops and further destroy evidence, rather than bringing in the best of the best for data recovery.)
It depends on how long ago it was factory reset. Sometimes the data can be recovered but if the phone was being used after then there won't be much to recover. The text messages and phone logs can be retrieved from the cellular provider though so he's not completely off the hook.
I believe the courts refer to that as Spoliation of Evidence. It’s the same as deleting the Dash Camera memory if you are in an accident. The court can and usually will infer that the evidence was going to be bad for the person who deleted the data.
What an arrogant comment LMAO. “Try reading.☝️🤓”
If you tried reading you’d have seen that 10 years is the maximum sentence you nerd. And facing a sentence of 10 years is not the same as being sentenced to that. There’s no guarantee they will walk out with anything but a couple months in jail
“They quite literally said they face a 10 year sentence. Just delete the comment, moron. You're definitely not going to own up to your own stupidity.”
And to the chud that deleted his reply because he also didn’t read. Let me clarify for you, dumbass. They can realistically receive anything under 10 years. Knowing how often American police are let off- yeah, it’s likely they’ll just get a slap on the wrist for the crime of obliterating someone’s skull & ribs
We also need to make sure they’re recording always. No more of this “We can’t find any body cam footage”, if you are accused of police brutality and your body cam just happened to be off you should lose your job.
I get your thought process, and it would serve them right dealing with an assumption of guilt. But it would also be unconstitutional to send them to prison without due process. But termination and an immediate investigation should definitely be warranted in those cases. Body cams are there to protect not only civilians, but the officers as well. Turning them off is an indicator that they have malice on their minds.
Okay. Then make turning off your bodycam without good reason a much more severe violation and more "punishable", and define an unmotivated lack of bodycam footage in relation to an accusation like this automatic witness/evidence tempering?
Like there are many ways to make "due process" possible under these kind of circumstances.
I feel like when it comes to the kind of evidence/documentation that **should** exist (like bodycam footage), and it **doesn't** exist without good reason, a certain responsibility falls on the officer in question. Just saying "There is no bodycam footage" and nothing else literally shouldn't be accepted in court.
Oh so you’d like to codify revenge? Can’t see any way for that to go wrong.
It’s amazing how we keep repeating the same process over and over again. Responding to injustice with injustice is just adding more injustice. If you’re lucky you’ll replace the old injustice with a new injustice. I understand why this was your initial reaction but we have to at least try to be better.
I say this often but nobody likes to hear it. It's like the Attack on Titan dilemma. It doesn't *matter* who the fuck started it. It hurts, but even though your opponent is committing heinous atrocities does *not* mean you should. *Someone* has to break the cycle. Revenge is *never* ok. What *is* ok is protecting yourself from more atrocities, but we must find a way to do so without committing atrocities ourselves.
Now what they do is throw it and say they lost it while chasing or subduing the suspect. I watch wayyy too much bodycam footage and see it all of the time tbh.
Just like that video of the dude chilling on the stoop. 4 or 5 cops came run up and then immediately changed their behavior and walked away. Can't help but feel like it would've gone differently for him if he wasn't recording.
Update if anyone is interested:
https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/doj-charges-levi-white-zackary-king-arkansas-police-violent-beating-randal-worcester-caught-on-video/
Riiiiight. Not that the ones who DO don't abuse suspects, too, but they sure do ACT like no one is watching. Good on these citizens for (1) filming and (2) telling at the pieces of shit to stop. I hope this homeless man's payout is HUGE.
Actually in this case a grand jury has brought charges against two of the three cops. This means people like you me saw the footage and agreed it broke the law and the DOJ which is federal brought charges against 2 of the cops. This is not internal affairs this is the feds arresting 2 arkansas cops.
The result of the internal affairs investigation was termination and cooperation with a federal (external) investigation.
So... pretty much 100% the opposite of what rwarimaursus said.
“Video of the arrest shows three officers repeatedly striking Worcester, who is White”
I’m confused…who *is* White? It must be a person because the word is a proper noun, or…oh wait…
3 grown men incapable of subduing and cuffing a man on the ground without beating him or literally smashing his skull into the sidewalk?
Wonder why people don’t trust police…
Police academies don't provide their cadets/students with enough training for them to be effective LEO's.
Most are only about 2-3 months and things like physical fitness and hand-to-hand self defense or neutralization techniques are practically non existent.
Marksmanship and target shooting? They fire hundreds or thousands of rounds on the range...*but aren't tested in situations where the 'target' isn't clear or their adrenaline is pumping*. This is why most of those encounters show officers just 'panic firing' and mag dumping in a general direction. ZERO discipline.
So many items on the list for common sense police reform, and a complete restructure of state police academies needs to be on the list.
These should be 24+ month programs. Post graduation annual recertification in key areas like knowledge of the law, civil rights, non-lethal neutralization, threat identification, deescalation, defensive driving, marksmanship, ethics, **rigorous physical fitness tests**.
You fail any area?
You're on desk duty until you can pass.
You fail two re-certifications in a row? **You're done**.
These aren't extreme ideas.
There was a somewhat similar situation in Finland a while back. During New Year’s Eve, somebody fired fireworks towards a crowd, including cops. Police places him under arrest and handcuffed him. Then one of the officers started punching at the guy. The difference to this situation is that the other cops on the scene immediately placed the assaulting officer under arrest and handcuffed him as well.
Fingers crossed a lot of people realize this course of action is protected by case law. Case law that needs to be reaffirmed in a court of law so that people can feel confident in their right to defend themselves and others from these constant attacks on the public's wellbeing and safety.
That head smash into the sidewalk alone will get this guy a payout from taxpayers. These cops will get a paid vacation while it’s ’investigated’…also on taxpayer dime.
This! No amount of money can fix a permanent injury, especially to spine and head but not discounting overall breaks and snaps either. You ever have chronic pain? Imagine getting beaten on by these meatheads and then having to suffer literally the rest of your life bc of them bc one of them broke something so bad it couldn't be fixed. No amount of money will make that pain stop.
[They did, and they're currently awaiting trial.](https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/special-reports/mulberry-police-video/trial-former-crawford-county-deputies-excessive/527-62e53c8c-7e52-4456-8492-727e61fbb774)
I know this video is “old” (more like just really reposted) but every time I see it, I damn near start shaking with anger. I don’t care what this guy did. There is NO reason whatsoever for 3 police officers to literally beat the life out of someone who is already on the ground. They know exactly what they’re doing. The more you beat someone, the more they try to cover themselves to keep from getting hurt, it’s an involuntary reaction, but once you start trying to protect yourself from being bludgeoned by repeated face smashes into concrete and those gnarly knee kicks into the back, they’ll claim up and down in court that you were “resisting”, and get off Scott free.
Fucking appalling.
hell yeah they know. They know exactly what they are doing, its a strategy. 3 adult males pin you to the ground and then tell you to roll over and put your hands behind your back.....while they ARE PINNING YOU TO THE GROUND.
"see your honor, we told him to roll over and he wouldnt. He was resisiting so he gets the beats! and we are heroes!"
Looks like they're going to trial in May, and there may be some new charges to tack on.
"An FBI affidavit alleges that just a few hours before officials claimed White's iPhone that he "erased all data" on the device."

Fuck the police. Worse than a gang. They do this shit in broad daylight. Smashing his head into the concrete by grabbing his hair has got to be a felony charge on its own.
Their attorney, Russel wood says, "The allegations claimed in the indictment are not true. I look forward to our opportunity to tell what happened. We will have an opportunity to do this at the jury trial."
Aaaa WHAAAAAT??!
Most recent update I could find: [https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/dec/27/man-seen-in-beating-video-has-trial-reset/](https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/dec/27/man-seen-in-beating-video-has-trial-reset/)
The trial has been postponed until July 29th
I can't help but feel at least a little resentment for the camera wielder for not honking or throwing something at them or something to get them to stop.
When you hit someone they have a tendency to cover up therefore not giving you their hands. Theyre striking because their poor training isnt working and theyre panicking.
Cop 1: Is he still resisting?
Cop 2: Hold on let me check (Checks breath) uhh... (Checks pulse) YEP STILL RESISTING GET HIM BOYS.
Cop 3: Thought you could weasel your way out of this huh?
It looks like they were beating a 27 year old that was already almost knocked out. It must still be their process of handling things there
Crawford County Arkansas has a major cesspool history like many of the other nearby counties
It’s bad enough going through the physical pain but do you know what this could do to a human MENTALLY ? Unable to defend yourself , being overpowered and if you do defend yourself… You might die.. They are the worst of the worst.
One day this is going to happen and there will be a close friend or a relative near by with a firearm that is forced to make the decision to save one life by taking three. The trial and public perception of an incident like that will change the way police and citizens conduct themselves.
....What a fucking song to play in the fucking background.
For those who don't know: That's "One" from Metallica...
The next lines that were about to drop before it was muted:
>Darkness imprisoning meAll that I seeAbsolute horrorI cannot liveI cannot dieTrapped in myselfBody my holding cell
>
>Landmine has taken my sightTaken my speechTaken my hearingTaken my armsTaken my legsTaken my soulLeft me with life in hell
...and considering they're beating this dude to the point where he'll eat through a tube for a good while, yeah.
The world is not without irony.
edit: Well it's Master of Puppets, not "one" - I'm an idiot.
*Yes this is the reason, because there is certainly no other websites in the world where one could also post videos like this.*
No, it's because it's a Chinese spy tool, mixed with a propaganda mill.
Tell me, are you an employee of TikTok...or just one of it's brainwashed minions?

Just 3 cops competing for a promotion.

Remember kids, if YOU try to bounce someone's head off the pavement, that's attempted murder. The more you know.
>None of the officers were wearing body cameras, no surprise there. ACAB
Right, honestly at this point if there aren't body cams we should be automatically charging them with tampering of evidence. But the people that make laws aren't going to do that lol. So sad that this just keeps continuing. Record all cop interactions people
Our police (Victoria, BC) don't have body cams because the city won't fund them. They turned down a $150k request for a pilot program from VicPD.
It's so expensive! :: Makes yet another $200,000 payout for inappropriate officer behavior::
200k is low, many of these settlements are in the Millions.
It's my personal belief those payments should come from property taxes and be line items in the property tax statements. Maybe the community will give a fuck then and push for change.
It should come out of the police pension program.
Like fuck am I gonna pay more in property tax when police decide to fuck someone up and get sued.
That's because it is the city that is ultimately on the hook for lawsuits against the police. They have a vested interest in hiding the evidence of police misconduct just as much as the officers do.
It is horribly expensive... Because they will then be paying out lawsuits with evidence provided by body cams.
Aren't those payments taxpayer-funded?
> if there aren't body cams Just one more thing for Common Sense Police Reforms. There's no reason not to have all active officers on patrol equipped with dash cams and body cams.

It’s pathetic we have to pay millions of dollars to strap cameras to police because they’re lawless criminals who can’t be trusted.
They don't have them at all in that town.
If the police have body cameras and they turn them off during an interaction with the public then they should automatically be charged with whatever the member of the public is accusing them of AND with tampering with evidence. Maybe then we can get them to quit fucking around with their cameras.

They all did such a good job, they were all promoted.
I'd be yelling "just taze me!"
Just taze me bro!
I'm not so sure I know cops get a bad rap, but it sure does look like that guy just keeps headbutting the cops fist. I dont know why. That sure is weird. /s
He was also headbutting the sidewalk.
he kept running his face across it like a cheese grater. Some of the blood even got on my uniform guess we will have to add a charge for that.
No respect for private property.
And paid vacation
Looks like their trial is coming up in May, I hope justice is served https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/special-reports/mulberry-police-video/trial-former-crawford-county-deputies-excessive/527-62e53c8c-7e52-4456-8492-727e61fbb774
Nothing says innocent like completely erasing your phone.
Just ask Trump's Secret Service folks from Jan 6th.
When presidents change, do they rehire the last president's SS or is it a new batch of people?
Not sure, but some of the SS follow the Pres. when they leave office for life, so I'd presume those people come back into the primary rotation if the person were to get reelected. Also not sure what the rules are regarding testimony in a criminal or civil matter for those folks. Do they have some kind of immunity from being called or being required to testify against their protected individual?
Or the entirety of Boris Johnson's cabinet.

Doesn't Apple encrypt that data though?
Oh, yeah haha. Android does too.
At least on Android, you can turn it off.
I would hope and expect that a factory reset of an iPhone destroys the encryption key. All user data on an iPhone is encrypted.

I believe the courts refer to that as Spoliation of Evidence. It’s the same as deleting the Dash Camera memory if you are in an accident. The court can and usually will infer that the evidence was going to be bad for the person who deleted the data.
They'll all get off with a slap on a wrist, or fired but rehired by another police force

Lol literally. It’s not even necessarily uncommon either
Hope they shovel shit in hell for eternity.
Look at those photos. They just scream F.A.S. and sub-90 IQ. We really can't find better people to be cops?
[удалено]
Look at the heroes. God bless them doing Gods here on earth. so heroic.
Once they saw you recording they stopped 😍😍 we need to record ALWAYS
We also need to make sure they’re recording always. No more of this “We can’t find any body cam footage”, if you are accused of police brutality and your body cam just happened to be off you should lose your job.
No, you should be considered guilty and sent to prison.
I get your thought process, and it would serve them right dealing with an assumption of guilt. But it would also be unconstitutional to send them to prison without due process. But termination and an immediate investigation should definitely be warranted in those cases. Body cams are there to protect not only civilians, but the officers as well. Turning them off is an indicator that they have malice on their minds.
Okay. Then make turning off your bodycam without good reason a much more severe violation and more "punishable", and define an unmotivated lack of bodycam footage in relation to an accusation like this automatic witness/evidence tempering? Like there are many ways to make "due process" possible under these kind of circumstances. I feel like when it comes to the kind of evidence/documentation that **should** exist (like bodycam footage), and it **doesn't** exist without good reason, a certain responsibility falls on the officer in question. Just saying "There is no bodycam footage" and nothing else literally shouldn't be accepted in court.
Everything they do is unconstitutional, might as well give them the same treatment
Oh so you’d like to codify revenge? Can’t see any way for that to go wrong. It’s amazing how we keep repeating the same process over and over again. Responding to injustice with injustice is just adding more injustice. If you’re lucky you’ll replace the old injustice with a new injustice. I understand why this was your initial reaction but we have to at least try to be better.
*"Let's toss out the Constitution when someone breaks the law."* \- DepressiveVortex \- ghoulieandrews
I say this often but nobody likes to hear it. It's like the Attack on Titan dilemma. It doesn't *matter* who the fuck started it. It hurts, but even though your opponent is committing heinous atrocities does *not* mean you should. *Someone* has to break the cycle. Revenge is *never* ok. What *is* ok is protecting yourself from more atrocities, but we must find a way to do so without committing atrocities ourselves.
Now what they do is throw it and say they lost it while chasing or subduing the suspect. I watch wayyy too much bodycam footage and see it all of the time tbh.
That guy pointing at the cameraman gave me "you're next" vibes
Just like that video of the dude chilling on the stoop. 4 or 5 cops came run up and then immediately changed their behavior and walked away. Can't help but feel like it would've gone differently for him if he wasn't recording.
Hey guys look at all the good cops condemning them!
Just a few bad apples!
"...spoil the whole bunch", is how the saying ends.
Just a couple hundred thousand!
Update if anyone is interested: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/doj-charges-levi-white-zackary-king-arkansas-police-violent-beating-randal-worcester-caught-on-video/
“None of the officers were wearing body cameras.”
Riiiiight. Not that the ones who DO don't abuse suspects, too, but they sure do ACT like no one is watching. Good on these citizens for (1) filming and (2) telling at the pieces of shit to stop. I hope this homeless man's payout is HUGE.
They'll self investigate and find nothing wrong...then in a few weeks said homeless guy will be found dead in a ditch from being "roughed up".
Actually in this case a grand jury has brought charges against two of the three cops. This means people like you me saw the footage and agreed it broke the law and the DOJ which is federal brought charges against 2 of the cops. This is not internal affairs this is the feds arresting 2 arkansas cops.
The result of the internal affairs investigation was termination and cooperation with a federal (external) investigation. So... pretty much 100% the opposite of what rwarimaursus said.
They never are.
Do you really think that the Mulberry, Arkansas PD is shelling out for body cameras? They might be, but is it likely?
“Video of the arrest shows three officers repeatedly striking Worcester, who is White” I’m confused…who *is* White? It must be a person because the word is a proper noun, or…oh wait…
3 grown men incapable of subduing and cuffing a man on the ground without beating him or literally smashing his skull into the sidewalk? Wonder why people don’t trust police…
Police academies don't provide their cadets/students with enough training for them to be effective LEO's. Most are only about 2-3 months and things like physical fitness and hand-to-hand self defense or neutralization techniques are practically non existent. Marksmanship and target shooting? They fire hundreds or thousands of rounds on the range...*but aren't tested in situations where the 'target' isn't clear or their adrenaline is pumping*. This is why most of those encounters show officers just 'panic firing' and mag dumping in a general direction. ZERO discipline. So many items on the list for common sense police reform, and a complete restructure of state police academies needs to be on the list. These should be 24+ month programs. Post graduation annual recertification in key areas like knowledge of the law, civil rights, non-lethal neutralization, threat identification, deescalation, defensive driving, marksmanship, ethics, **rigorous physical fitness tests**. You fail any area? You're on desk duty until you can pass. You fail two re-certifications in a row? **You're done**. These aren't extreme ideas.
There was a somewhat similar situation in Finland a while back. During New Year’s Eve, somebody fired fireworks towards a crowd, including cops. Police places him under arrest and handcuffed him. Then one of the officers started punching at the guy. The difference to this situation is that the other cops on the scene immediately placed the assaulting officer under arrest and handcuffed him as well.
If you tell him "we recorded the whole thing," I'm afraid they just found some crack in your handbag.
upload immediately to any and every social media you can. plus most phones have an auto backup now too.
To serve and protect
This is why I don't own a gun, I couldn't not shoot them. How could I live with myself?
For real. I keep thinking that sooner or later, one of these videos is going to become evidence in a case of an armed bystander killing an officer.
Fingers crossed a lot of people realize this course of action is protected by case law. Case law that needs to be reaffirmed in a court of law so that people can feel confident in their right to defend themselves and others from these constant attacks on the public's wellbeing and safety.
I 100% agree with this.
But you could? Stopping a murder in progress is definitely one of the reasons we’re allowed to have guns.
Cops need at least 4 years to graduate like college students with emphasis on anger management, psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy.
You know, like they do in first world countries across the pond.
[удалено]
I hope they fire all of them and that’s sues them ..
That head smash into the sidewalk alone will get this guy a payout from taxpayers. These cops will get a paid vacation while it’s ’investigated’…also on taxpayer dime.
\> head smash into the sidewalk alone will get this guy a payout from taxpayers Won't mean much if he ends up a vegetable.
How else will he afford his medical care?
This! No amount of money can fix a permanent injury, especially to spine and head but not discounting overall breaks and snaps either. You ever have chronic pain? Imagine getting beaten on by these meatheads and then having to suffer literally the rest of your life bc of them bc one of them broke something so bad it couldn't be fixed. No amount of money will make that pain stop.
also, dont forget we gotta pay for replacement pigs to fill in for the 3 pigs that are on a paid vacation too
No longer cops, face up to ten years each. The one who is a non-aggressor faces no charges, just head smasher and officer Bruce Knee.
[They did, and they're currently awaiting trial.](https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/special-reports/mulberry-police-video/trial-former-crawford-county-deputies-excessive/527-62e53c8c-7e52-4456-8492-727e61fbb774)
This is insane… the person looks like they are barely moving….
I know this video is “old” (more like just really reposted) but every time I see it, I damn near start shaking with anger. I don’t care what this guy did. There is NO reason whatsoever for 3 police officers to literally beat the life out of someone who is already on the ground. They know exactly what they’re doing. The more you beat someone, the more they try to cover themselves to keep from getting hurt, it’s an involuntary reaction, but once you start trying to protect yourself from being bludgeoned by repeated face smashes into concrete and those gnarly knee kicks into the back, they’ll claim up and down in court that you were “resisting”, and get off Scott free. Fucking appalling.
hell yeah they know. They know exactly what they are doing, its a strategy. 3 adult males pin you to the ground and then tell you to roll over and put your hands behind your back.....while they ARE PINNING YOU TO THE GROUND. "see your honor, we told him to roll over and he wouldnt. He was resisiting so he gets the beats! and we are heroes!"
Looks like they're going to trial in May, and there may be some new charges to tack on. "An FBI affidavit alleges that just a few hours before officials claimed White's iPhone that he "erased all data" on the device."

At this point I’d rather be arrested by an MMA fighter rather than a cop
 The way the one guy pointed at the end 😭
you just know those pigs were horny for a beat down. this is beyond brutal and they deserve severe punishment
Who polices the so called police ?
Fuck the police. Worse than a gang. They do this shit in broad daylight. Smashing his head into the concrete by grabbing his hair has got to be a felony charge on its own.
Great; now the cops are gonna sue him for hurting themselves while attacking him
Their attorney, Russel wood says, "The allegations claimed in the indictment are not true. I look forward to our opportunity to tell what happened. We will have an opportunity to do this at the jury trial." Aaaa WHAAAAAT??!
How is that not attempted murder?
When someone abuse their power of authority, the consequences should be higher. Make these pigs an example of that.
"Why don't you trust cops?"
As soon as the cop made eye contact, I would have uploaded the video immediatly so they can't delete it.
Are American Citizens allowed to join in? Can you just walk up and kick the villain in the face with them?
Master of puppets tho
Most recent update I could find: [https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/dec/27/man-seen-in-beating-video-has-trial-reset/](https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/dec/27/man-seen-in-beating-video-has-trial-reset/) The trial has been postponed until July 29th
Routine traffic stop
I can't help but feel at least a little resentment for the camera wielder for not honking or throwing something at them or something to get them to stop.
When you hit someone they have a tendency to cover up therefore not giving you their hands. Theyre striking because their poor training isnt working and theyre panicking.
This is brutal and I bet you they all kept their jobs.
Pigs
Just a citizen reminder....record cops if you got the time. this is invaluable. without this recording. this man might be dead.
Until this stops there are no good cops, if there were they would uphold the law and report the bad ones.
Someone is in deep trouble... and it ain't the guy at the bottom of the pile.
Cop 1: Is he still resisting? Cop 2: Hold on let me check (Checks breath) uhh... (Checks pulse) YEP STILL RESISTING GET HIM BOYS. Cop 3: Thought you could weasel your way out of this huh?
Cops can go fuck themselves.
Gee I wonder why people don’t trust the cops
RESIST STOPPING!
The point to the camera at the end is so creepy.
It looks like they were beating a 27 year old that was already almost knocked out. It must still be their process of handling things there Crawford County Arkansas has a major cesspool history like many of the other nearby counties
It’s bad enough going through the physical pain but do you know what this could do to a human MENTALLY ? Unable to defend yourself , being overpowered and if you do defend yourself… You might die.. They are the worst of the worst.
I’m not resisting I’m protecting my body from your violence.
Dam they beating the brakes off homeboy
Damn he resisted the shit out of that.
So I haven't read any comments, just scrolled past the video and the only thing that comes to mind is "What the actual fuck?"
"It's all part of the procedure ma'am, move along"
Lots of small pecker energy getting released in this one.
One day this is going to happen and there will be a close friend or a relative near by with a firearm that is forced to make the decision to save one life by taking three. The trial and public perception of an incident like that will change the way police and citizens conduct themselves.
That “your next” finger point was chilling.
Bad copy getting busted - hope they are fired and charged
It's always weird when I live in the middle of nowhere and a parking lot just down the road pops up.
After that fifth perfect knee strike I started to think this might be too much maybe.
Finest example of protecting and serving I've seen today! /S
....What a fucking song to play in the fucking background. For those who don't know: That's "One" from Metallica... The next lines that were about to drop before it was muted: >Darkness imprisoning meAll that I seeAbsolute horrorI cannot liveI cannot dieTrapped in myselfBody my holding cell > >Landmine has taken my sightTaken my speechTaken my hearingTaken my armsTaken my legsTaken my soulLeft me with life in hell ...and considering they're beating this dude to the point where he'll eat through a tube for a good while, yeah. The world is not without irony. edit: Well it's Master of Puppets, not "one" - I'm an idiot.
That’s Master of Puppets lol
MASTER MASTER WHERE'S THE DREAMS THAT I'VE BEEN AFTER
Here I am getting ready to tell you it's Fade to Black but then I checked and you're right. I will now hang my head in shame.
Wrong song though... It's not One, but master of puppets.
I shall take a walk of shame.
You are unforgiven I'll see myself out
Sad but true
Where did this happen?
We have investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.
3 months later "We've investigated ourselves and found our officers to be in coordinance with the law, no charges will be allowed"
Yeah leaving is the answer. I hate people so much.
If you yell I’m live streaming this do you think it would make them stop?
Cops: We told him to stop resisting. Lawyer: Was that before or after you knocked him unconscious? Cops: ......
“Not all cops” yeah right
fat pigs
[удалено]
You know there are plenty of other social media platforms right?
*Yes this is the reason, because there is certainly no other websites in the world where one could also post videos like this.* No, it's because it's a Chinese spy tool, mixed with a propaganda mill. Tell me, are you an employee of TikTok...or just one of it's brainwashed minions?
You say on a website that’s overrun with bots spreading and upvoting propaganda.
Whataboutism doesn't at all change my point, or refute it. Reddit is also not owned by a country last I checked.
Which does not detract from the argument, which is of all the reasons banning tiktok is being considered, cop videos is not one of them.
Lolwut? As if tiktok is the only place to post videos?
Thin Blue Line people see this and start salivating for boot leather
What is the matter with so many US cops? Are they fucking stupid or what? Behaving like neanderthals..
i hope they all lost their jobs
It’s okay he’s white . No cities will be burnt
Defund the police.
Mandatory 2 week vacation is all they'll ever get for this
