A video of Florida deputies punching and dragging a Black man from his car during a traffic stop has caused national outrage, with civil rights lawyers accusing authorities of fabricating their arrest report.
This happened in February, but it is clearly still light out. Cop said they should be on because of the weather anyways (that he must’ve been imagining), not because it was dark.
You can clearly see in the video that visibility was not that bad. The video was shot from most likely a screen side camera and not the main camera so it’s not like there was a ton it could do to upscale the quality. Even the cops perspective it was mid day at best and shows they were fishing for sure.
As for folks arguing against this it’s just apologists grasping at straws to justify why this man was pulled over on flimsy at best reasons. It started simply so a cop (and then multiple cops) could stroke their authority egos.
Even if the initial cop that pulled him over was coming from a legit placed of concern he clearly couldn’t keep his boy with the wild fists under control so he’s just as culpable. Not one of those officers reacted to officer fisticuffs and that’s simply not okay.
Some folks can’t seem to grasp the concept that shitty or incompetent people can wind up in a place of authority and that these officers can’t be placed upon a pedestal simply due to their position. Actions speak louder than words. Period.
Headlights off at 4pm on an overcast day. Not raining, not even misty. Just overcast.
People saying the victim deserved it because her didn’t act like a “perfect victim” are soft between the ears
It’s also in the middle of summer too rn when the sun doesn’t set until 9pm.
