Suit: Police chasing white suspect wrongly arrest Black man

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

they are all the same, obey the police no matter what or face the consequences.

no matter what the police tell you to do, never say no.

OBEY OR DIE

NOT THE SAME!

Your rights in your home are different than your rights on a public street.

Nothing justifies fighting with police when they are acting in an official capacity.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

so now being on the same sidewalk is enough to be assumed guilty.

See, you want the cops to be the judge, prosecutor, AND jury in a matter of a few seconds.

you people are living in the wrong damn country.

This is the Land of the Free, and you all fucking hate freedom.

Then, get rid of police. They cannot do the job of prosecutor, judge, jury, etc. in a matter of seconds.

How dare we expect idiots to comply with police orders until they sort out the issues and find the right perp? They can NEVER ID the wrong guy because idiots run.

Weird how they managed to do their jobs for a century without the need to handcuff anyone standing on the same sidewalk as a bad guy.

Alright. I'm done with this discussion.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

I'll just end with this:

If I am walking down the street and police are clearly chasing somebody and they tell me to get on the ground...I'm getting on the ground. We'll talk about it all later when the pursuit calms down.

But, that's just me. I'm not stupid like other people.

Well all whites do look alike though

Except red heads, blondes, brunettes, grays and white hair

How do you think they update their police procedure? When officers are killed they look at what they could have done to prevent it.

This is a country of law and order. If you want no authority over you, I'm sure there are jungles in Africa you can move to. But decent civilized people want an authority to sort out problems instead of each individual being a vigil ante.

Now you're learning. Do what the police ask you to do and you'll not get roughed up or hurt. If you feel they did something out of line, you take it a higher authority. What you don't do is challenge an officer on the street. You're going to lose all of the time.

BOSTON (AP) — A suburban Boston police officer who was pursuing a white suspect pinned a 20-year-old Black man to the ground as he was walking home and placed a knee on the man's neck despite having no evidence that he was involved in any crime, according to a federal civil rights lawsuit filed Wednesday.

Donovan Johnson was minutes away from home after leaving work in February 2021 when a white officer who had been chasing the white suspect ran up to Johnson, drew his gun and threw him to the snow-covered ground face first, the lawsuit filed against the town of Arlington, Massachusetts, and three of its officers alleges.

Police were were initially called to an Arlington hotel about a man seen there who the staff believed was previously involved in the theft of televisions, the lawsuit says. The white man was “known to police” for “prior criminal acts” and when officers arrived at the hotel, officer Steven Conroy showed a photo of the man to the front desk clerk, who said it appeared to be the same person.

Police went to the room to investigate, but the man escaped and they began to chase him, according to the lawsuit. Johnson, who was almost to his Somerville home, saw the man jog past him before Conroy approached and yelled at both men to “get the (expletive) on the floor.”

The white suspect got on his knees, but Johnson stayed standing, the lawsuit says. After that, Johnson says Conroy drew his gun, threw him to the ground and pinned him down with a knee on his neck.

Another officer who arrived in a cruiser recognized the white man and put him in handcuffs, and the suspect told the officer he didn't know Johnson, according to the lawsuit. A third officer who arrived “immediately jumped on” Johnson to help Conroy hold him down, according to the complaint.

Suit: Police chasing white suspect wrongly arrest Black man

This story can't be true, because there is no such thing as a white criminal.

The police don't have to chase down white men because they never commit petty crimes.

This black guy was guilty as hell, these officers should be receiving medals instead of a lawsuit.

Ahhhh, so what?

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Yes they do, and then dumb ones like this make their jobs even harder.

And great ones rarely get any recognition. Like offensive linemen in football you only see the bad. And idiot race baiters like Superbadbrutha perpetuate the hatred.

You're saying police arresting the wrong guy is a new phenom?


Alright. I'm done with this discussion.

No, I am saying that police just randomly hand cuffing someone for being close to a bad guy is a new phenom.

 

[pknopp]

And that's why we have a problem. All blacks think they are lawyers. Then when they get roughed up, it's not their fault for not listening, it's the police officers fault.

And taxpayers get hit with huge settlements because it was the police officers fault.

For someone of us freedom means enough to us that we will take that chance. Then there are people like you that have no backbone at all and will kneel down to your masters in uniform.

Stupid you are not, cowardly on the other hand.

You've never heard of guilt by association? That is literally where the phrase comes from.

Regardless, the recourse is not to start fighting with the fucking cops right there on the spot.

Can we at least fucking agree on that goddamn shit, please?

Gator you're under arrest. What are you doing? Please tell me you're not gonna start a fight with the fucking cops.

Jesus fucking Christ. Libertarianism is not Anarchy.

Next time you interact with a cop, I want you to resist. Punch the cop in the mouth, and try to get his gun.

Get it all on video so we can all see it.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Stupid you are not, cowardly on the other hand.

so, if I do not resist arrest and try to disarm the cop, I'm a coward?



You know the easiest way to clear your name if cops have the wrong guy????

COOPERATE AND ANSWER QUESTIONS!!!!

One can resist without punching.

That you think those are the only two options is sort of sad

Guilt by association does not come from someone on the same sidewalk as robber. It comes from being buddies with said robber.
