[Faux pas]

3. I sense a return to the sixties...

[wnylib]

24. More like the 1930s.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

25. The 1860's.

KKK emerged in 1865.

4. Judge Roy Bean territory. ...nt

[Mister Ed]

5. Good God!

If you're on your feet, they yell at you to get down, and maybe blow you away if you don't comply fast enough. But if you lie down in complete submission like this young man, they yell at you to get up or they'll shoot?

[dalton99a]

12. They're salivating like dogs

[Grokenstein]

23. S.O.P. for P.I.G.s

They give contradictory orders for a reason.

[IronLionZion]

29. You can lie down in complete submission

and still get a knee to your neck while several officers pin you down for several minutes until you die. If your murder is caught on video, maybe the officers will be fired, but that's it.

6. This must be what it felt like..

to be a German in the days of Hitler.

[wnylib]

26. No, more like to be a Jew in Hitler's Germany.

[stillcool]

34. I'm a bystander..

watching it as it happens. Doing nothing but shedding tears.

[MagickMuffin]

7. What the ever loving hell

If he was white this would not have happened!

All those enforcers should lose their jobs and the right to carry a gun.

ABUSE OF POWER

[JudyM]

8. WTH! K&R

Our country is a mess. Depravity rising.

[chowder66]

9. This is disturbing. People roll through stop signs all the time in L.A. Cops don't even bother.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

10. Fucking racist pigs

Need to get thier fucking guns shoved up thier Lilly white asses,this is horrible.
I hope the family and especially the grandma is ok.

I hate asshole pigs.

MIDLAND, Tx. (KOSA) -- The City of Midland has released body camera video from the arrest of Tye Anders on Saturday, May 16.

Several videos were released by the city. You can watch a shortened video above or several longer videos by clicking the links below.

WARNING: The videos contain language and content that some viewers may find disturbing.

32. That video is so disturbing.

It doesn’t look like this kid ran a stop sign at all, the cop was looking for something to stop him for. He’s a scared kid, and he will be forever changed and scarred by this event for the rest of his life.

While a teen driver, my son, who is white, actually did run a stop sign, and got off with nothing but a verbal warning. No guns, no backup police, no arrest.

[RussBLib]

35. geez, must have been 20 people all yelling at once

I do not envy the job of police. I would never be one, because most of them are assholes, but they have one of the worst jobs out there. Seems being a police officer is where most of lifes bullies and jerks end up.

[42bambi]

13. Again, I'm going to say, I'm thankful that there are videos, otherwise I

dread to think of what we have not seen over the years! Videos expose these rabid, racist cops. I know there are good cops too, I am begging them to speak out, loud and clear, against this kind of hate.

[roamer65]

14. WTF is wrong with this country???

Jesus H Christ.

[oasis]

16. Maybe fanatic cops, seeing Trump's poll numbers drop, believe they

need to trigger more "trouble in the streets" which would create a national "situation" before the election.

[roamer65]

17. That is very possible.

[oasis]

18. Fanatic cops don't mind being "sacrificial lambs" for the "greater good".

Many who get fired from one city's PD could find work in another city's police department.

[JI7]

19. This has always been America. Think of all the shit that must have happened throughout history

before there were cameras .

[Lulu KC]

20. +1

[roamer65]

21. Absolutely correct.

[HipChick]

31. Exactly...

[IronLionZion]

28. Think about how much has happened without being recorded on video

and how easily it would be for them to shoot you for pulling out your phone to record them

[betsuni]

15. Terrifying.

[Jarqui]

22. Sickening. Horrifying.Terrifying.

It's gone on all my life.
How can you blame black people for being on edge with white cops?
Again, again and again blacks get brutalized.
How many more have to die before this changes?

Hope they throw the book at those cops and let them join their four brothers in Minnesota on the unemployment line.

[Demovictory9]

27. kick

[budkin]

30. They literally pushed a 90 year old woman over

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

[IronLionZion]

33. They feared for their lives

and I don't mean the police

Having guns pointed at you with people shouting conflicting orders can be a terrifying thing. Yet black citizens are supposed to stay calm and comply completely to each order. One mistake gets instant public execution in front of your family.
