Sick Fucks: Philly Police grab black toddler from SUV after destroying vehicle and injuring mom and cousin for no reason, use photo as propaganda

[Axulus]

The Fraternal Order of Police’s posts showed a Philadelphia police officer holding a Black toddler clinging to her neck.

“This child was lost during the violent riots in Philadelphia, wandering around barefoot in an area that was experiencing complete lawlessness,” the union claimed in a tweet and Facebook post that have since been deleted. “The only thing this Philadelphia police officer cared about in that moment was protecting this child.”

But lawyers for the boy’s family say that story was a total fabrication.

In fact, they say police yanked the boy from the back seat of an SUV after busting all of the windows and violently arresting and injuring his mother, who was later released without charges.

“It’s propaganda,” attorney Riley H. Ross III told The Washington Post. “Using this kid in a way to say, ‘This kid was in danger and the police were only there to save him,’ when the police actually caused the danger. That little boy is terrified because of what the police did.”

...

A now-viral video of the confrontation shows officers throw Young and the teenager to the ground and then grab the toddler from the back seat. The scene was captured by Aapril Rice, who watched it unfold from her rooftop and told the Philadelphia Inquirer that watching a police officer take the baby was “surreal” and “traumatic.”

Police lie so easily. They should be in the Bonespurs administration.

 

[Rhea]

And then use the lying photo in an advert? That is depraved.

 

[ruby sparks]

Stupid idiots. Nowadays, in such public situations, third party video footage can be expected.

 

[Angry Floof]

Fucking lowlifes. I hope any reforms that come out of all this include a policy to stop hiring for dumbness and aggression and actively recruit grown up humans with consciences.

So there was a tweet going around by Philly cops saying that the deputy commissioner told them to not arrest looters. Is this also a lie?

I think that cops have a perverse incentive to let looting go on. It makes their side look more moral in comparison.

See the people protesting us are criminals.

On the other hand, if the cops arrest a looter in a moderately exertional manner people will call them thugs.

Cops lying about suspects resisting is awful. On the other hand, suspects resisting just to make viral videos and hoping for that to be a payday or charged dropped from a frustrated cop getting physical is also something that needs to become less common.

Some suspects resist arrest to make cops look like thugs.

Other cops ARE thugs and will say stop resisting on a compliant suspect so the can get in billy club strikes.

There are way too many bad apples in the officer ranks. Had she attempted to plow into them, that wouldn't excuse what they did to the toddler. That/those officers should be put in prison for that. But they won't... and so the even thinber line of trust between people and officers, becomes too thin to see. This is another case of outrageous assault on civilians, but those who are allegedly serving and protecting the civilians.

And if this wasn't caught on video? How many other times is it not caught on video? We need police reform, badly!

 

[Worldtraveller]

If only the toddler would have complied.

At least they didn't shoot everyone in the car.

Let's withhold judgement, and let the bootlickers chime in before we make any real calls for guillotines (or putting their eyes out).

During this particular year, police have an extremely good reason to avoid arresting people for non-violent crimes: COVID 19. It's a serious issue in jails, prisons and courtrooms. Not only for the accused and for the personnel working at the jail or prison but for everyone in the courtroom, including judge and jury, all personnel in the courthouse and of course, their families.

Just like cops' fantasies that suspects are resisting arrest, your supposition that suspects arrest to become internet famous are just that: fantasies.

 

[Politesse]

actively recruit grown up humans with consciences.

Why would such a person apply to be an American police officer, though?

To serve their community. Some people genuinely want to do this. I'd say a lot of people do start out with such intentions but then police training and culture change them.

This OP is just another example why an ever-growing segment of the population do not take the word of the police.

Oh, btw, Jason, Derec, where you guys at? You seem to have nothing to say as to whether this is an overreach of state violence. You all have plenty to say about when the tax man cometh, what say you when the police beat a child's parents and then abduct the child while pretending the parents abandoned it?

why would any of them have anything to say about this?
their patron saints are doing something unpleasant to the demon seed that is blacks... if they had anything to say about it, it would be that the drivers of the vehicle are 'thugs' and the woman who filmed it is probably both a communist and a rights activist which means they should all be beaten and imprisoned.

What prideandfall said. Right wing authoritarian followers will support their authority figures doing anything to their hated outgroups. Everything else is after-the-fact justification, not examination or conscience.

Yes, that's the poimnt - you may remember the fake "poisoned cops" thing, or the bizarrely-shaped tampon in the Starbucks coffee.

I haven't noted this in any serious protest - mostly because the protests are generally sparked by either a shooting, or a mass police crackdown on random people. It's usually the violent police crackdown that leads to people fighting back - at which point police suddenly pull back and let various random people burn things and loot.

You know, bodycameras are a great way to address the entirely nonsensical and implausible scenario being described in that quote: if the cop isn't wearing one or it wasn't on to record, the cop can be considered guilty of lying. Problem solved. That way, there's evidence when the implausible "resisting" happens.

If the cop has a tool that would create the evidence that would exonerate then and doesn't use it, or even intentionally deactivated it, then they get no exoneration. Duh.

For the record, the first thing I thought when I heard about bodycams was "I wonder how long the back-buffer on the bodycam is?"

Then I found out that most of them don't even have the feature of a back-buffer, a feature every action cam since action cams have been a thing already implement.

They are designed for failure

Edit: Hey Repoman, what are your thoughts on that? How far are you willing to bend over backwards to justify idemnification of cops who could be vindicated if not for their own incompetence, malfeasance, or engineered failure?

 

[repoman]

Me?

I have in the past gotten to close the edge of advocating for the assassination of brutal cops on this forum. That was a while ago.

Those cops should be investigated by Pennsylvania authorities if Philly does not. Someone(s) have to lose their job. Whoever lied about the kid needs to be gone. Possibly the photo was taken in good faith be someone was lied TO by another cop. Imagine in that case the lying cops seeing the kids picture publicized and knowing they fucked up. Lol.

This.

"She didn't report it"
"He didn't file charges"
"She should have told someone"
"You have no proof"
"Why didn't they just call 911?"


Yeah. Sauce for goose, sauce for gander.
If cops want to be exonerated, they should have their cameras on all the time.
It's so easy.
