black woman encounters cop. Blue wall of silence may be weakening.

I already know the cop is going to have many supporters. Video at the link:

The police chief regrets his legal inability to pursue action against his own officers and is talking about chaning the law. The District Attorney has called in the special investigations unit and the case against the officers will likely be presented to a grand jury.

So far the cop has received the minimum punishment available to him: counseling and additional training.

In an interview this week, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said the department has opened an administrative review into how Richter’s supervisors evaluated his actions and a separate criminal investigation. Officials are also investigating Spradlin’s comments. But Acevedo said that, under state civil service law, he cannot take disciplinary action beyond a written reprimand against the officers for this incident because it happened more than six months ago.

“After reviewing both videos, I and our leadership team were highly disturbed and disappointed in both the way Ms. King was approached and handled and in the mindset that we saw on display in those videos,” Acevedo said. “But there is another piece, which has caused concerns as to our review process and the systems we have in place.”

He said he regrets that he didn’t know about the situation sooner and that he is taking renewed steps to help citizens learn how to respond when they feel mistreated by officers.

“We need to help our community overcome the fear or reluctance, which I understand, to file a complaint,” he said. “This is critical if we are to weed out bad officers and bad behavior.”

This is a step forward to repairing trust between the black community and police, imo. I hope other police forces will begin to speak about making their officers accountable and hopefully this will de-escalate the current atmosphere of black-on-cop violence because that's a downward spiral that's just going to end up with a lot of people hurt or killed.

Dash cams and body cams have been a helluva invention.

I wonder if eventually we'll all be wearing bodycams.

These cops have serious anger issues, he wasted massive amounts of resources just because the woman told him to hurry up.

Cant take orders from a N***** right?

You're a despicable human being. Even the police chief finds what they did absolutely unacceptable.

Too bad commie, I don't care and you can't make me.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Now imagine how many other people this officer has carelessly abused throughout his years as a police officer.

She questioned his authority, he escalated, she then went into shock and appeared even less compliant so he escalated further and she wore it.

 

[Sakuraba808]

She shouldn't be questioning authority. Good she got taught a lesson.

Even the guy who put his hands up and did everything to comply got shot. Some of these officers see a black person and go in there with the mentality I am gonna fuck them up. Nothing the person can do will stop from an officer who is determined to do this.
