SO important. Please watch and share what police did to THE WRONG man, jeopardizing his entire future in the process.
24-year-old Patrick Mumford was sitting in his own car in February, 2016 when he was confronted by three Savannah-Chatham Metro Police Officers, who were serving a warrant for another man, Michael Clay.
The lead officer confronts Patrick but does not believe Patrick when he truthfully identifies himself to the officer, twice. Patrick rightfully asks the officers what is the matter and to see the arrest warrant they say they are serving.
Fearful and confused, Patrick retreats into the passenger seat of his car. Within 38 seconds of his initial introduction to the officers, the lead officer is ordering Patrick to be tased for non-compliance.
It takes a violent use of force for officers to realize what we already know: they have the wrong guy.
Rather than apologize, the officers rationalize and justify their actions to horrified neighbors and even Patrick's parents. These rationalizations include the repeated false statement that the officers asked Patrick for his ID.
Patrick is arrested for obstruction. As a non-violent drug offender serving in a first-offender probation program, a pending probation violation could cost him his job, his college education, and seven years in prison: all for sitting in his own car, minding his own business, and telling the truth.

and can't seem to help themselves from escalating situations from 0 mph to 100 mph in seconds.
Then the cop just automatically lied about asking for his ID, and he kept up with the lie.
Two more assholes need to be charged, jailed and thrown off the force.
But it won't happen.
A modern Top Fuel dragster can do that in 0.8 seconds.
Sorry, long time drag racing fan.
Watched the vid. Nice cops have the power to ruin random black peoples lives just by interacting with them. Like weed, by far the biggest health hazard is getting busted for it. But, pot smokers lives must be sacrificed to serve the bottom line of our medieval for profit prisons.

(26,330 posts)I don't know why they just don't give these cops cattle prods. Because that is how they are being used. Why pretend?
Fucking racist pigs.
Pigs will never admit a mistake. Their only fallback is to pile on some bullshit charge. And lie through their fucking teeth.
Occupying force. That's what they have become.
