.@LancasterPolice - When a police officer is fired for excessive force, he just goes to work in a new department or a new town. Police will continue to face a lack of trust & respect until these incidents result in criminal charges. #BlackLivesMatter
The consensus is that this man was calm, cool, and compliant. Non-threatening. Unarmed. And that the police were angry, giving confusing & contradictory instructions, and were itching to use violent force.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1012457662506782721 …

The one problem with suing the police, is that they keep a slush fund of tax dollars for that very reason, so in the end, we still pay.

Yup. I teach dance. Do you know how many times I have told a student to straighten their legs or bend their legs and they can't figure out wth I'm asking? People don't process info all the same way. This was totally unnecessary.

Plus he was probably scared shitless.

He was "armed" with his Blackness, that was clearly threatening to the poor officer, who was defenseless except for a Taser, a gun, a baton, pepper spray and the backup of a half dozen other armed officers of the law.

How the hell am I suppose to keep my legs straight but crossed at the same time
-
Only thing I can think of it straight out, but crossed at the ankles... but if that’s the case, then those are the specific words they should use.

Too many “leaders”. They need to develop a protocol position so all officers know what they’re aiming for rather than be shouting different instructions at the same time. Lucky it wasn’t a firearm.

“Don’t run, it makes you look guilty. Be respectful, comply with the officer”. Sure.

Look, I believe in the rule of law but this officer appears to unnecessarily tase this man. He was cooperative and docile. WTH?
