Promoted by trump , claiming police shouldn't be nice? trump likens violence to power, and uses it to incite people for him, then denies he had anything to do with it. Didn't Charlie Manson use those tactics too before he went to prison?

YUP.

He's not white

jebus H.

So.

He was a white guy.

that is how you cop.

She treats everyone well, and she’s done so much for some of the people she’s come into contact with over the years.

She hates bad cops.

Why I like"Criminal Minds" because they even treat inhuman serial killers like humans.

Good interviewers pretend they understand killers' motives and stressors.

I have my doubts.

its flat out sadistic - using brute force just because you can. Police officers need to go through periodic psychological evaluations and some should have never been hired in the first place.

since he had bitten two of them. They wanted to show him who's boss.

are just waiting for an opportunity to use brute force. I'm sure it takes very little to set some of them off.

for everyone in law enforcement and maybe some other professions where the job gives one total authority over others, like ICE and CBP agents.

There are too many people who given the opportunity will let their perceived authority go to their head, plus the stress of the job could bring out the worst in some. These are important and necessary occupations and the oversight and support should be comprehensive and ongoing. Also punishment for abuse of power should be severe, especially for those who have sworn to serve and protect.

I don’t understand why anyone runs from the cops.

All that being said, that cop is a fucking murderer.

recently carjacked.

Or maybe he feared arrest for drugs.

A high speed chase just doesn't make sense.

Usually when all the facts added up don't make sense. It's either because we are still missing some facts, or some falsified facts have been added to the story.

There's the part about "somehow" getting his car back. I'm guessing the "somehow" is the reason he ran. Either the original highjack story was fabricated, or he used unusual means to get his car back.

Suspect lived on his property. I guess it's possible suspect came back with the car, or returned the car to him.

"Ward reported the beating and carjacking to the sheriff’s office around 10:10 p.m. on Nov. 24. Ward knew Estrada, a caretaker who lived on his property, for about two months, only by his nickname “D,” Valencia said."

Carjacking is usually done between strangers. Almost always in fact.

Theft from someone you know is usually something less than a carjacking which is much more serious and dangerous crime than simple theft.

the cops are lying.

But the rule about not making sense involves pretty much any situation you can name. Not just police ones.

an important factor.

BTW, I am severely hearing impaired, but even I heard his head crunch when it was slammed against the door frame!

will be paying Millions on this one. The Body Cam Video will never defend the Deputy.

BTW,is not this Sheriff a member of the Oath Keepers?

Assswipes need to pay, set enough examples and this shit wouldn't happen so often.

scary species in this country.

The two SROs who were recently filmed body slamming children were black.

that my attitude was "Fight the Man", "Piss Off the Pigs"...

But I grew up, lived some life, and learned some things.

When the police tell you, or ask you, to do something, it is NOT the start of a negotiation. Just Do It. Acting as if you have some control over what is going on ALWAYS ends up badly. Things easily tend to spiral out of control.

Your options if you don't are possibly ending up dead, or hopefully sorting it out through the legal system.

I say AT LEAST TRYING to sort it out through the legal system is the better option. Sometimes it gets sorted, sometimes it doesn't, but you AREN'T dead. As long as you aren't dead, you at least can still continue to try to sort...

This guy took responsibility for his own actions when he didn't notify authorities he had his car back, then decided to take the police on a high-speed car chase.

Things certainly spiraled out of control. Now he is dead.

guy probably didn't deserve to end up dead .. but there's no denying he contributed heavily to what turned into a situation that was way more serious than it had to be. Just STOP already. Show your hands. Follow orders. Don't end up a statistic.

I read that headline as "Pelosi slammed a man's head into a car"

I smiled uncontrollably

Officer on leave
Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick handed Blount a notice of termination, and the deputy will remain on administrative leave until the investigation is complete and all appeals have been exhausted, the sheriff said in a Friday video statement.

"What our deputies did not know at the time was that Mr. Ward was not only the owner of the car, but the victim of the earlier carjacking," Essick said. "The suspect had pistol-whipped him and stole his car. Mr. Ward had recovered the car but failed to report it. It remains a mystery as to why he fled from our deputies."

Harry Stern, who is representing Blount, said Ward is responsible for his own death because he took "bizarre actions" that left deputies thinking he was an armed carjacker rather than a carjacking victim.

Stern said that it is his understanding that medical evidence will show Ward had a pre-existing medical condition and methamphetamine in his system. There are no indications of trauma to Ward's neck, the lawyer said. (Police have not said whether Ward was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and the Marin County Coroner's Office is investigating the cause of death.)

"I am extremely disappointed in Sheriff Essick's reaction to this unfortunate incident. I view his hasty decision as a product of panic, political expediency and hindsight," Stern said in a statement that called Blount's actions "entirely reasonable."

Reached for comment, Izaak Schwaiger, an attorney for Ward's mother, said, "David was well-loved in his community. When the time for mourning has passed, justice will be done upon those responsible."
