This is a time where using deadly force would be 100% a proper response. I mean jesus christ, he's trying to bash her head in with a baton. Fucking unbelievable how trigger happy cops are when people of color breathe but this motherfucker can do all that and barely get a response.
Give me a break, no one deserved to die because of that pathetic fight.
I don't.
Right? One thing people often don't understand is that as black people, what we see in the news and in reality ingrains an urge to capitulate to criminal authority so we can survive. And yet, so often that attitude of already being at the ready to obey and be accommodating isn't effective. We're sometimes bullied, provoked or prodded into making the exact wrong move that will allow the justification for our arrest. Living in such a way, it's impossible for me to even understand how you could get to this point where the video starts at all.Even not accounting for the clear leneniacy he's given, largely due to his race I'm sure, imagine the mental freedom you'd need to possess to confidently do all that shit and live to talk about it.
Even as a black man if I wasn't predisposed to believing any encounter with the cops could immediately turn fatal, there's still no way i'd Have the balls to resist two officers, steal a weapon and strike them with it and then hope in their cruiser and ride out and not think there's a bullet somewhere waiting for me.
Crazy.
She might as well have added that he was gonna make them late for her sister's bbq. Again, it's insane to me as a black person to not only see an encounter with an officer procede to this point but to see a loved one so eerily unfazed.Lazily:
Jerry.. Don't do it Jerry *yawn
Pretty telling that she never really expected him to be in danger.
"You're gonna get in trouble Jerry"
Larry York, admits that his brother calls the cops quite often because he's "seeing things."
"He calls 911 always thinking someone is trying to kill him," said York.
Since 2002, the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office has documented more than 260 times that law enforcement has made a call out to York's home.
York admits his brother wasn't medicated at the time and said he admits some fault as his legal guardian for not making sure he was taking his medication. York said his brother believes the medication is poison and would feel bad involuntarily having his brother committed to a mental hospital. At the same rate, York said due to the number of times law enforcement had been to their house over the last decade, they should have known about his mental condition and should have taken that into consideration when attempting to deescalate the situation.
So, they didn't shoot him because 1) they knew him, and 2) they knew he was mentally ill.
dude he'll plead down to misdemeanors. he's white and it's arkansas.So, they didn't shoot him because 1) they knew him, and 2) they knew he was mentally ill.
He's still getting a shitload of charges leveled at him, including attempted capital murder (probably for ramming the patrol car).

yeah, i noticed that too. I bet he can parallel park like a mother.
